2nd Public Playtest Update Notes
Hello, Survivors.
Here are the details of the upcoming second public playtest.
Check the details below.
[h3][New Weapons & Weapon Rework][/h3]
● Scrap Spear: A new two-handed weapon, Scrap Spear, has been added.
→ The Scrap Spear can perform thrust and slash attacks with strong attacks.
● Single-Barrel Shotgun: The Double-Barrel Shotgun has been reworked into a simple but powerful single-shot shotgun.
● Improved animations and hit feedback for some existing weapons.
→ These improvements are ongoing, and this version is not final.
[h3][New Zombies][/h3]
● Spitter
→ Sprays toxic liquid from a distance, dealing continuous damage.
→ If approached, it switches to melee attacks instead of ranged ones.
→ Upon death, the Spitter explodes, leaving a toxic gas cloud.
● Crawler
→ A legless zombie that crawls and attacks from below.
→ Moves slowly but can ambush survivors unexpectedly.
● Charger
→ Performs a powerful charge attack, dealing heavy damage on impact.
→ Has high defense and is a major threat in close combat.
[h3][Weapon Usage Experience & Controls Improvements][/h3]
● Parry System (Prototype)
→ When wielding a Shovel, right-clicking now enables parrying.
→ Successfully parrying an attack blocks damage and allows a counterattack.
→ The parry system is still in early development and is currently limited to the *Shovel*.
● Bow Mechanism Improvement
→ Bow handling and control have been refined.
→ Input delay that felt inconvenient has been adjusted.
→ Further improvements are in progress.
● Improved Controls
→ Movement speed now transitions more smoothly when exiting ADS (aiming).
→ Left/right leaning movement speed reductions have been adjusted.
[h3][Item & System Improvements][/h3]
● Grinder Added
→ A new system allows certain items to be converted into other items.
→ Helps efficiently manage unnecessary inventory items.
→ Available at the Liberty Grand Center (in-game).
→ The system will continue to be refined based on feedback.
● Crafting Station Added
→ All craftable items are now categorized for easier viewing.
→ The crafting process has been made more intuitive.
● Storage Expansion
→ The maximum number of storable items has increased.
→ Additional storage expansion can be purchased with currency.
[h3][Floor Rotation System][/h3]
● The lower and upper floors will rotate in 8-floor units at set intervals.
● The floor layout changes at specific times based on a global timer, requiring strategic adaptation.
→ However, ongoing matches will not have floor changes even when the timer reaches its threshold.
● Survivors will need to adjust their tactics based on floor conditions, making exploration and combat more engaging.
→ For more details, refer to Dev Log #13.
→ Dev Log #13
In addition to the changes listed in the update notes, various content improvements and fixes have been implemented.
