Hello! A new utility class, the miner! (tin armor), Directional lights helmet, glowing sticks, sonar, explosive & throwing pickaxe skills! The patch took a little time because the light engine had to be partially redone to optimize the directional light level resources & Oni had to redesign the particle engine in anticipation of future needs for new bosses and functions.

Changelog 0.13.1.0
Adds:
- New class: the miner (tin armor), with 4 skills and a mining speed bonus:
 - sonar
 - Glowing sticks
 - Pickaxe throwing
 - explosive pickaxe
- Upgrades of the lighting engine
 - directional lights
 - a light pass to amplify the lights on precise areas (can be disabled in config.ini)
- A directional light is associated to the miner helmet (works also on the vanilla slot)
- Particles: hot reload is now supported for configuration files (F11)

Changes:
- Killing enemies provide exp to armor pieces
- Water is more transparent

Engine:
- Internal rework of the lighting engine. Shadows use half vram.
- Better control on the shadow buffer, with possibility to create lights of specific shapes.
- Rework of the particle engine:
 - optimized particles creation from O(n) to O(1)
 - ability to create "parent" particles in moddable files so we can use the same
 shape for different particles without duplicate texture.
 - new particle emitters options in config files
- Complete refactoring of old hardcoded particles, now using config files

Hello! The patch took some time because, aside a lot of fixes and new little content like the armors leveling, it was necessary to add all the code necessary for the elaboration of the classes in general (the way skills are managed, displayed etc...) in short, the new classes will be much faster to create now!

Our first class! The Abyssal hunter! (4 unique skills!) it's a mid-end game armor you can have by killing a boss that former players already know (new bosses are planned ofc, a lot).

- Mana gems, mana dust, mana potions

Hello! Little patch, images will be more evocative than words :

Before :


Now :


And this new IU is valid for all items, from simple eggs to runes! We have done our best to condense the maximum amount of information into a minimum amount of space with a clear and readable visual approach and we hope it will suit you!


Also, it's not yet added in the game but Oni finished the code to create the future dynamic progress tree which will allow you to have a better visibility of your progress in the game!



You can have more information about the technical part here : http://centauri.onidev.fr/tech_tree.html

We also work on classes. By this we mean that a combination of armor and potentially special weapons will allow you to obtain unique abilities that will allow you to become an archer, a mage, a priest, a berserker etc... In the long run, we want to give players the possibility to better specialize in order to allow them to play the gameplay that suits them and form complementary groups in multiplayer. We will soon begin the integration of new content, new events, new bosses, new armors, new weapons, new abilities!


Thank you for your support and have a nice week!
