To increase the realism and immersion of the game the height of the rooms has been doubled and a ceiling put on top of each dungeon room. This improves the feel of the game tremendously by maintaining the illusion of the Virtual Reality™.

They were originally no ceilings in the game because with room scale mode the world would need to scale down and with a small play area the players head would often be well above the ceiling.

Now the ceiling optionally will turn off for room scale mode or in certain rooms where enemies do a high jump.

Additionally, we've made a variety of improvements and increased the base weapon firing rates by 50% to make the combat even more satisfying.

• Worked on polishing ceilinged room.
  
• Ceilinged room cosmetics finished.
  
• Enabled depth texture rendering to enable soft particles.
  
• Fixed z-fighting arch on west wall.
  
• Started looking at native Oculus builds for Luca.
  
• Updated SteamVR.
  
• Loosened restrictions on sliding Locomotion.
  
• Fixed alternate GUI position now that rooms have ceilings.
  
• Removed ceiling on treasure room so elevator doesn't squish player.
  
• Increased all firing rates by 50%.
  
• Removed bow weapon.
  
• Cut "Dragon Medium Four Way" enemy type.
  
• Set Dragon four way replacement to normal 3 dragon, not ballistic spray dragon.
  
• Lowered number of fatty's and murderers on Level 1.
  
• Fixed a few bosses that were not removing ceiling.

We've added support for Touch thru OpenVR. So the game is new fully playable with the Oculus Touch. We are impressed with the tracking volume of the Oculus Touch system. Even with two tracking cameras on one side of a room there are very little occluded tracking spots.

Be sure to calibrate a play area in SteamVR before playing or the floor and world scale will be incorrect.

Unfortunately, OpenVR hasn't shipped with models of the Touch controls yet. So the game will still show Vive controller models until it's updated. Please use the picture above to understand how the controls are mapped in the game until updated controller models get shipped by Valve.

In addition we've fixed a variety of bugs and made some game difficulty tweaks. The final boss is now a little easier and the heart drop frequency has increased.

Due to popular demand I've added sliding locomotion as an alternative to teleporting. You can now press up on the LEFT touchpad to slide around at a fabulous 8 meters per second! Teleporting is still available on the RIGHT touchpad for those that are still prone to motion sickness.

If you appreciate us adding this heavily requested feature please leave a great review on steam for Luca! It's super important and will enable even more additions to the game.

Also, we added 8 new character classes that can be unlocked and introduce a variety of new fun play styles to the game.

• Paladin - Traditional Stats and Abilities
  
• Shaman - Healer that has tons of health but hits less hard. It's the easiest character to complete the game with.
  
• Grenadier - Want to blow crap up? This is for you! All of your bullets are replaced with delightful bombs that explode on contact with your enemies, that thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy!
  
• Dragon Trainer - Starts with Rhaegos :rhaegos: and the fabulous Dragon Shield. But zero heart containers!
  
• Death Knight - Starts with Dual Wielding and high DPS. Good times ensue.
  
• Mercenary - A greedy class that has damage increased the more coins you collect.
  
• Harbinger of Death - Because the Grenadier didn't have enough bombs.

Some major changes to the weapons of A Legend of Luca have arrived in the latest release!

The ammo system was removed because it was difficult to understand and rarely led to satisfying game play. It was more annoying that anything, so the ammo system has been completely cut from the game. All player weapons will now always have unlimited ammo and their special abilities available. So now all players are even more powerful and the difficulty of the game has been increased to maintain the challenge of the game.

All of the melee weapons now have a ranged attack that's always available.

Clemetia, the Axe of Mercy's special throw ability is now always available and won't run out.

Veritas, the Greatsword of Truth has a charged lightning attack similar to brimstone from Binding of Isaac.

Virtus, the Sword of Valor, has a piercing special ability where the thrown swords will go through enemies.

Firmitas, the Glaive of Tenacity's special ability of destroying touched blocks is now always on and has a constant particle effect to help remind you and because it looks awesome.

Level and enemy designs for levels 1 through 3 have been added to and overhauled. Levels 4 and 5 rooms will be redesigned in the next few weeks.

We added many new enemy variations and recolors of the enemies to have many more variations of attacks and movements to make the core combat more satisfying. As part of the design we've been trying to add more swarms of slower moving enemies to the rooms. As part of our play testing we wanted to make sure that all rooms can be beaten without taking damage to ensure that the game is fair to the players.

As part of the room design overhaul we've added room shape flagging to the level generator, so now (although the rooms will currently always be the same size) we can design custom rooms knowing that the player will enter from one side or that certain walls will not have doors. This enabled many new types of fun and unique room experiences!

Also added more rigid bodies to objects like candelabras, chairs, barrels and jars. This will make them movable and active physics objects, which is really cool and adds to the immersion and presence of the game.

In addition we've made many changes and tweaks to continue to polish and refine the game. Thank you all for your support and please continue to send great feedback.
