Hello there,

Just dropping a wee patch to tidy up what was there in preparation for Bigger Things™

Things to check out:

• Updated middle startup crystal to match Main Menu crystal
  
• Added a display to the powerup in the middle to help plan for when the next powerups will be available
  
• Spawn points reworked to address kiting and positioning cheese issues
  
• Spawn points will kill you if touched, but can be used as a grappling point
  
• Spawn point visuals and animations updated and improved
  
• Slightly reworked the High Tier guns (Reaver, Goregun, Judgement) so as to be less spammable but with better charging info visuals.
  
• Marduk codex entry added
  
• Granite Tide codex entry conditions fixed, added some progress info for Granite Tide and Xenon Mole codex entries
  
• Fixed and improved the UI Modes displayed by pressing Tab
  
• Spawn points now follow the centrifuge / moving platforms below, and also have 3 more points that are closer to the bottom of the level.
  
• Lich positioning and visuals reworked to match and play nice with the above
  
• Powerup hitbox massively increased to counteract issues with powerup acquiring due to the tight geometry in the middle
  
• Corporeal sigil visuals update
  
• Stamina recharge is now slower when in the air, but faster when grounding to counteract cheese holes

Enjoy! The remainder is coming along nicely and we're excited to build what's next.

Much love, have a sick weekend.

Hello friends.

We're now up to version 3.4 of the playable demo of Necromancer.

We're on the last stretch of development before the game can be fully released!

More news on that soon, but in the meantime here's a general description of the changelog (many more changes than what's listed here, but it'll give you a good idea).


• Improved level design, lighting, general aesthetic
• Added a console for debugging and testing
• Added a session log file to track logs, located in game save folder
• Improved overall balance, physics, movement, etc.
• Added health bars for summons
• Added blood and gore particle effects and ragdolls for unit deaths
• Added options for control of post-processing effects
• Improved main menu visuals and added a character design for the player character, LXXIV IRON EATER
• Improved music with better composition and mixing for all tracks (Main Menu, Arena, Codex)
• Added a timeout so the game returns to the main menu after some inactivity
• Improved visuals for all units
• Unit composition reworked.

• Revenants no longer spawn on their own, they can only be spawned by Necromancers.
  
• Two types of enemy necromancers can be spawned by the level, "Terror" and "Elite" Necromancers.
  
• Bulleted list
  
• Each necromancer will first spawn a Revenant or Elite Revenant, and if left alive too long will spawn a "Terror" or "Elite terror".
  
• Liches no longer spawn "Lacerator" enemies, these are now instead spawned by Dreadnoughts.
  
• Added mines to Dreadnoughts to assist with late-game pressure balance.
  
• Improved visuals and telegraphing for Lich "shotgun" attack
  
• Removed Lich "wandering pillar" attack, replaced with tornados which spawn lightning attacks

• + many other changes and QOL improvements.

We'll also likely drop another small patch soon to cover some small fixes but in the meantime, enjoy some ANNIHILATION.

Love,
V0ID
