Horn of Balance - demo » Devlog
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
