Core Lords - Demo Update (v1.1)

Hi all,

A (long overdue) update to the demo has been released.

A huge list of updates, bugs fixes, QoL changes have been worked on, and I will be unable to list them all, but some major changes are as follows:

GAMEPLAY/AI

More enemy behavior such as strafing, keeping distance and better line of sight calculations
Vastly improved AI actions and decision making (though still needs work!)
Enemy drops (combat drops and permanent upgrades)
Improved jumping and falling behaviour

TUTORIAL STORY

A huge amount of bug fixes
Clearer tutorial hints
Balanced delays and pacing of tutorial information
Visual and camera tweaks
Fixes for puzzles

QoL

Visual indication of enemy and player health and action points in combat
More indicators and affordance for what actions you take will result in, especially with Core interactions
Smoother movement behavior, such as better navmesh, hold-to-move and click-to-move, move-to and climb etc.

LEVEL DESIGN

Better interaction with water and lava
Better procedural generation for Quick Battle
Gaps, holes and other kinds of collider fixes
Lots of general bug fixes

ANIMATION

Smoother animations, especially with running and other movement (less janky and staggered, but still working on it)
New animations for the player character

Cleaner and more consistent design
UI interaction fixes, such as toggling and buttons
General visual UI improvements and fixes

VFX/SFX

Improvements and adjustments to visual and sound effects, such as performance tweaks, visual clarity and consistency

If you give the demo a go, please let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Chris
