KatFS Pre-Alpha v0.1.4 is out!
Hello everyone! Got a little update for the demo. This update includes a few changes based on feedback from the aptly named Feedback Jam, which KatFS was submitted to. Appreciate everyone that gave me feedback here on itch, on Twitter, or on Youtube, anywhere!
With that out of the way, onto the main changes:
- Kalia's melee attacks can now be aimed in 8 directions instead of 4! This allows her to more easily cover all angles around her, preventing the blind spots in her melee targeting that came with the 4 direction aiming. Beware, however, that her enemies have also gotten this ability!
- The stop period after a dodge roll has been shortened significantly, allowing for a quicker recovery after a dodge.
- Skeletons had their health nerfed quite a bit. The dagger and ranger skeletons now can all be defeated with a single melee combo, if you can land all the attacks. The first ambush also had two of the dagger skeletons removed, meaning you'll fight 3 skeletons instead of 5. The skeletons' strength should come from attacking in groups, and they were already too strong by themselves, so this change was necessary (thanks @BarelyAGS for calling it out!)
- The fire meter has been slightly reworked as a combo meter. It can still be fed by active fires, however it'll also increase as Kalia deals damage to enemies with her fire attacks! In order to fill it up, you'll have to keep landing attacks and avoid being hit. The higher her fire level is, the more fire damage she will deal!
- Minor changes to the placement of some level objects.
These are all the changes in v0.1.4, however there's more to mention. I estimate that v0.1.4 will be the last update to the "version 1" of the pre-alpha. However, that does not mean that updates are going to stop, much to the contrary! What it means is that I expect the next update (bar hotfixes) to be a very substantial one, one that warrants a v0.2.0 number! I can't yet tell all that will be changed or added, but I can definitely tell that the main new attraction will be a completely new demo chapter that can be played besides the existing one! So make sure to stay posted on Twitter for development updates! :)
