Knights Within News

small update
(please expect less frequent updates to the demo moving forward as I prioritize working on the base game for early access release)

• Moved quest menu to it’s own board in the keep
  
• Boss’ sphere shockwave attack does more damage but no longer bypasses shields
  
• Many boss attacks can roll different status effects now
  
• Updated assassin/boss leap attack movement code, should result in fewer instances of them just floating for a bit at the end of the leap
  
• Moved a couple tutorial pages into the in-mission popups method
  
• Reduced Grunt (basic/archer/spear/shield) base movement speed (~3%)
  
• New boss character mesh for some of the subtypes
  
• Trap ability emitter damage increased to 20% per tick (was 10%)
  

Thank you for trying the demo!

small update
(please expect less frequent updates to the demo moving forward as I prioritize working on the base game for early access release)

• Sprint stamina cost slightly reduced (~5%)
  
• Visual updates to one of the map tiles
  
• Updates to particle lighting fx (making lighting more noticeable for the same performance)
  
• Excess damage now properly carries over through barrier (even just 1 barrier was able to negate an infinite damage hit previously)
  
• Fixed instances of a bunch of floating ground pieces on one of the map tiles
  
• Reduced radius of boss slow traps to 125 (was 175) and further lowered the fx to improve visibility
  

Thank you for trying the demo!

small update

• 4 new atmosphere options and updates to some atmosphere particle fx

Thank you for trying the demo!

small update

• Parries now cost 0 Energy and Stagger the attacker, (instead of recovering Energy but no stagger) super useful against Berserkers & shields
  
• Successful parries no longer end the parry window, meaning you can parry multiple enemies within one parry window
  
• Reorganized how boss attacks are selected for each subtype
  
• Fixed an issue where switching weapons while ADS/Blocking would result in annoyingly having to let go of ADS/Block before you could do it again
  
• Increase firearm base mag size to 25 (from 20)
  
• Fixed some weird cases where status effects from ranged or AOE attacks would go through shields (except where intended, mainly ground traps)
  
• Various small menu and hud updates
  
• A couple rifle ammo mod stat changes
  

Thank you for trying the demo!

small update

• Updated ‘wave event’ spawning rates and limits, they should actually be noticeable now
  
• Minor updates to enemy spawning flow and consistency (mainly just removing instances of RNG on top of RNG to reduce random unintentional outlying conditions)
  
• Added additional text to clarify some things in menus
  
• 2 new songs and updates to a couple previous ones
  
• Reduced objective beacon activation cost for Shimmer to 20 (from 25)
