Other Hero/Component Changes
- Heroes will now always turn towards the mouse cursor when performing an aimed skill (e.g. mobility skill, Archer shots). This change was made due to technical reasons, in order to prepare for a future feature.
- Copycat Scarecrow: Will no longer successfully copy a minion if the copy cannot fit in the current position.
Other Changes
- We’ve made various connection improvements to the game to ensure that even players with unstable connections will have a smooth experience. If you’ve had connection issues before, we’re hoping that this update will have addressed them once and for all.
- We’ve included a crash reporter that will show up if your game crashes, and it will give you the opportunity to share some information with us that will help us track down the issue. Submitting crash information is entirely optional, and any submitted crash information is subject to our privacy policy
- We’ve changed the way the placement boxes are rendered in edit mode, and also added a toggle in the options menu for you to enable a visual grid, so you can fine tune your dungeon to perfection!
- Increased the area in which hideable components will become invisible when close to the camera.
- Improved the rendering performance of the mini-B.O.U.L.D.E.R.s
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused mobility skills to behave incorrectly in replays only.
- Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause big-bodied enemies (such as bosses) to get stuck on the Molten Fort’s ceiling lamps.
- Fixed a visual issue that would cause the haste fence to apply haste to minions in edit mode.
Please do let us know how you feel about the changes we’ve made either via the in-game feedback form or the Steam community forums.
The next update will finally bring the long-awaited friendly attacks to the game, as well as friendly spectating, so stay tuned for that!
