This update focuses on improving the overall feel of combat based on recent player feedback. There is still more work planned, but I wanted to release these improvements early so players can try them and share their thoughts. One important change affects projectile skills. These skills are cast from the player's visible hands, or from the equipped staff, so if a hand is behind a wall, the projectile can still legitimately collide with it. However, there was an issue where collisions could happen even when there was enough clearance. This update improves that behaviour and should greatly reduce those situations. Combat remains one of my main areas of focus alongside the boss implementation. Future updates will also include new weapon models and animations to continue improving the overall combat experience. Changes, Fixes & Improvements Improved skill aiming to reduce cases where nearby walls were targeted instead of enemies. Adjusted projectile collisions and enemy hitboxes to reduce unwanted impacts against nearby walls and trees while keeping enemy hits reliable. Increased projectile speed by 10%. Fixed an issue introduced in Version 0.6.3 where enemies killed by the bea

This small update addresses some of the feedback I've been receiving most often, while the main work at the moment is still the boss implementation, which is not ready yet. As mentioned in previous updates, the first optional boss for the island is currently in development, followed by the first main story boss. I'll continue releasing smaller updates like this whenever there are important fixes or improvements that should reach players as soon as possible. Changes, Fixes & Improvements Reduced the base damage of some Tier 2 and Tier 3 berserkers and forest enemies. Adjusted enemy levels across the game, especially in early quests and dungeons, to improve the onboarding experience. Reduced crime duration from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. Changed a wrongly configured Tier 3 guard to Tier 1. Tier 2 and Tier 3 guards already exist in the game, but they will not spawn in the first towns for now. Their armor can still be obtained through loot. Updated the internal team system so guards only mark the player who committed the crime as a criminal. The beast will no longer become hostile when the player commits a crime, unless it is accidentally attacked while the player is fight

This update is mainly being released to address the beast pathfinding issue. While the beast can still get stuck in certain situations that I'll continue improving over time, this update fixes a larger underlying problem where it was using the player's navigation configuration instead of its own. This was causing the beast to attempt paths that were not appropriate for its size, leading to it getting stuck or trying to move through areas it should not have been using. Most of my current development time is focused on a new boss system. The plan is to introduce the first optional boss on the starting island, followed by a main story boss also located on the first island. These features are still in development and will arrive in a future update. In the meantime, I'll continue releasing smaller updates whenever there are important fixes or improvements that should reach players as soon as possible. Changes, Fixes & Improvements Fixed an issue where the beast was incorrectly using player navigation settings instead of its own, causing it to get stuck more often and attempt unsuitable paths. Fixed a rare issue where client-side player data could be lost when attempti

This update contains a few minor balance adjustments and bug fixes. Changes, Fixes & Improvements Removed incorrect secondary Arcane damage from many Fire, Cold, and Lightning skills. Base damage has been adjusted so their overall damage remains consistent with their Arcane counterparts. Fire, Cold, and Lightning projectiles. Fire, Cold, and Lightning vortex skills. Frost Wave, Fire Surge, and Lightning Surge. Fixed the Extractor and Recycler buildings being swapped internally. They now perform their intended functions correctly. Reduced extractor/recycler level requirements by one level. For example, magical items now require Extractor/recycler Level 1 instead of Level 2. Fixed an issue where NPCs could incorrectly attempt to report a crime to guards when attacked by certain dual-damage weapons or skills. Updated the beast model to fix a visual issue affecting the tail while resting. Fixed a possible quest soft-lock for savegames migrated from Version 0.5 to 0.6 if players built the Magical Core before reaching the corresponding quest step. Added additional quest dependencies and progression safeguards to prevent rare situations that could cause players to become blocked from
