Souslinger demo update #2: performance optimization, melee attack, and more!
Happy Monday, fellow gunslingers! 🤠
Let's keep it short and simple: I've published another major update to the Soulslinger: Envoy of Death demo the last weekend! And instead of making big speeches here, I'll just let the changelog speak for itself:
OPTIMIZATIONS:
- Game consumes 3-5GB RAM consistently (instead of the previous 8-10GB)
- Game runs at 100+ FPS on high-end machines, can even work with a GTX 1060 on medium-high graphics
- Instead of all the micro-stutters, we have opted to make the game freeze for 1-2 seconds when travelling through a gate, while we display "LOADING" -- this makes you wait a bit at each travel, but makes the game a lot smoother in all other situations!
- Ability cooldown is now time-based instead of kill-based, allowing you to reuse abilities multiple times even throughout a single battle!
- Each battle now consists of multiple enemy waves
- Added a melee attack (default key: V) that deals moderate damage and pushes enemies back a bit
- Added invert mouse option
- Tons of bugfixes
- At the moment, we are aware of a "Fatal error!" crash that can occur sometimes, we are currently in the process of investigating this. Expect a hotfix soon that will resolve this!
In the case you played the demo already, it would be awesome if you could give it another try and let us know what you think about the improvements. And if you haven't played the demo yet, that's great! Please play it and let us know what you think.
Either here in the comments, in the Steam Community Hub, on Discord or through our feedback survey - the banner guides the way:
As always: No feedback will remain unread. Promise! And if you liked the demo, please consider wishlisting and following us here on Steam. This would actually help us a lot! ❤️
Talk to you very soon, friends. Have a great time!
Ede out!
