Hexwind Update #22

Hey VR die-hards. Update 22 is live with an expanded set of worlds to explore and an overhaul on the visuals of the off-hand. Let’s dive in.

[h2]Procedurally Varying Environments[/h2]
After spending the last few weeks on combat it was time to turn our attention to the mission environments. We want every run through the HexWind board to feel fresh and unique so we have been working on an expanded set of environments and how we can introduce more variance into the world every time you enter a mission. This week we have introduced a few new Fire, Earth, Ice and Chaos environments for you to check out and some randomness in what you will see each time you enter.

There will be more of these to come as we continue to build out the world. You should see some more interesting battleground layouts and some great new visuals. Look out for the flaming skull in the sky. That’s one of our favourites!

[h2]Off-Hand Visual Refresh[/h2]

The off-hand has been taking on more abilities over the past few weeks. This week we reworked the visuals on the off-hand to be a little more functional while still delivering on beautiful visuals.

[h3]Shield and Dash[/h3]
The shield now stays stowed until you need it and you can bring it out in a flash by pressing the grip button. This also puts you into dash mode so you can punch through enemies with your fist. We now get the combo meter out of your way when you dash to make sure you don’t trigger a combo unintentionally.

[h3]Spell Ammo[/h3]
When you have a spell equipped on the off-hand you can always see how much ammo you have left with a clear bar of energy in the centre of your arm. This should read more clearly than the bracelet on the wrist we were previously using.

[h3]Dash Feedback[/h3]
We have tried to make it much clearer when you are ready to dash and when you are not. A new dash indicator has been added that shows you when you are in range and also whether you have enough mana to perform a dash so you can react accordingly in every situation.
