updates

  • UI components have a fixed ordering, instead of putting the last component moved on top.
  • Updated the dialog of The Guide, and added a second message.
  • Reduced music volume. This is a temporary solution until we add volume sliders in the Settings menu.
  • The distance with which an NPC can be interacted with is determined individually for each NPC, instead of being derived off of the player's pickup range.
  • Added coins, the currency of Ashladon. All items have a coin value, which appears in the mouse-over tooltips.
  • Added The Merchant to Windmill Level 2. You can sell your items to him, and buy back items that you've sold.
  • Color coordinated the menus for equipped items, and the inventory of players and merchants.
  • Enemies, loot, chests and NPCs no longer reset after leaving the area they are in and returning later.
  • The windmill fan sound effect plays while inside on Windmill Level 1 and Windmill Level 2.
  • The enemy info mouse-over information fades in and out just like the rest of the interface.
  • The Settings menu is only available in-game, and no longer accessible from the main menu.

bug fixes

  • UI components would be broken after going to a new area if they had been rearranged.
  • Picking up the tutorial loot, then leaving the area and coming back and picking up the tutorial loot again, would break most item functionality.
  • Clicking on an enemy while the player couldn't move would result in the player attacking that enemy, if that enemy later came near to the player.
  • The sizing of the header text in some locations was incorrect.
  • Menus would flicker when appearing or disappearing on low-end systems.
  • The necessary distance between the player and an NPC in order to initiate interaction wasn't isometrically correct.
  • NPC portraits obscured loot and item tooltips.
  • Dragging and dropping an item outside of the window would essentially destroy it.
  • Moving the mouse outside the window while dragging an item would cause the player to move toward the mouse location.
  • The sound effect for the basic attack and Heroic Strike would still play if the player was stunned before the attack did any damage.
  • Ranged projectiles shot from the player that were already mid-flight would be destroyed if the player died.
  • The player's gear wouldn't become invisible if the player did.
  • Projectiles with audio that plays continually (like the buzzing of the Goblin Warlock's lightning orb) wouldn't stop playing immediately after changing areas.
  • Various control issues if the player's action speed was changed while they were currently stunned or blocking.
  • Key bindings could not be set if the player was stunned or blocking.
  • The player would switch to the idle animation after pausing, even when previously walking.
  • The player's action speed was affecting the speed of the idle animation.
