16. Small demo update (now includes bombs)


Hello gamers,

Time for another small demo update! It now includes bombs!

(As I'm completing the underlying engine for the full game I will also be periodically updating the demo to reflect this progress. So expect one or two more versions before the end of the year).

------

Changes in demo 2.4 (compared to v2.3):

  • Added bombs (=found in a dungeon chests)
  • Stunned enemies now have a visual indicator
  • Small items from containers will now respawn after enough exploration (=this will require demo rebalancing down the line - feedback is welcome

  • Fixed keys in chests in demo dungeon not being displayed in the correct color
  • Replaced placeholder impact sprites with new visuals
  • Reordered a few item menu items + updated a few descriptions slightly
  • Added proper water visuals for water in the demo cave
  • Sword charging sparkles now better alignment with the sword while walking
  • Update darkness engine to account for more hero/enemy attacks (and Murray's flame)
  • Some of the elementals now also provide light in the dark
  • Updated titlepage, splashscreen and file icon
  • Tweaked visuals small keys
  • Tweaked music volume levels
  • Fixed hit reflection sound potentially stacking
  • Fixed small visual oversight when doing a special sword attack in shallow water
  • Music volume is lowered during jingles and grimoire usage
  • Made the regular shields a little more effective when facing up
  • Credits scroll speed has been increased
  • Fixed bug preventing accessing to one of the demo dungeon's secret chests
  • Fixed credits misalignment if displayed in fullscreen without screen stretching on
