Hotfix 0.6.3.2c
[h3]Improvements[/h3]
[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]
- Improved the visual effects for Staff of the Phoenix projectiles.
[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]
- Fixed a bug which caused your increased projectile damage to only be applied on the first spawned projectile. Now all subsequent projectile spawns have the right additional projectile damage applied to them.
Update 0.6.3.2
[h2]New Features[/h2]
[h3]Dynamic skill damage tooltips[/h3]
Skill stat tooltips now display the calculated total damage of a skill. This is also including additional damage from your general melee or projectile damage stats. This should make it much easier to understand what damage a skill will actually do if you activate it twice or in combination with increased melee damage or projectile damage nodes.
[h3]Health Bars[/h3]
Health bars have been redesigned to directly display the current health with an additional animation of the health reduction. Death spots at endboss health bars have been fixed so that health bars are in general more responsive and less misleading.
[h2]Improvements[/h2]
[h3]Balancing changes[/h3]

Update 0.6.3.1
[h2]New Features[/h2]
[h3]Particle Effect Performance[/h3]
All relevant particle effects have been converted to GPU based particles instead of CPU based. This should lead to a big performance increase when a lot of particle effects are on the screen. This should also fix some of the stuttering when certain effects are triggered. This moves tasks where the CPU is bad at to the GPU which can handle a lot more particles and free up potential CPU bottle necks.
[h3]Player Camera[/h3]
The player camera now uses a new interpolation method which should lead to much more fluent camera movement. With the new camera position interpolation method we now have the possibility to decide in which step of the game loop we want to update the position leading to less jittery movements since its now synced to the rendering time step.

[h3]Player Light[/h3]
- Replaced bloom/glow effect by adjusted player lighting which overall leads to less blurriness. Player light now has a colour gradient which adds nice colour tones to the environment.
- Player light source is now also reduced in brightness when starting coop mode to prevent blown out colours when both players are near each other. It reverts back when ending the coop mode.
[h2]Improvements[/h2]
- Added slight sharpening effect which should make up for the blur that comes with the FXAA antialiasing.
- Ground tutorial font now has outlines to increase readability.
[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]
- Fixed wrong displayed projectile damage in stats window.
- Fixed camera movement jumps on loading a new scene.
- Fixed blown out colours on lightning staff.
