Hey everyone!

It's been a while since the last patch - we have been working on a lot of stuff behind the scenes (Full version content, translations). We got 4 new Darkness items for you to try out. To find them, enable Rotating Demo Content in the in-game options.

The biggest change in this update is the Block rework. Block used to be based on the Block chance stat. Now, shields can generate a Block Token that will shield you from exactly the next hit. Shields generate Block tokens in various ways. Let us know how you like this change and the different shields!

Full Changelog 0.6.1:

New Features:

• “Block” now works based on block tokens that are generated by your shield. All shields and block chance talents are changed to account for this!
  
• Added “Dodge on Hit” chance behaving similarly to the old block, but triggering “On Dodge” effects
  
• Rotated out Faraday’s Chainmail, Helmholtz Helm and Zeus’ Thunderpants
  
• Rotated in Grand Lich’s Kneecap, Grand Lich’s Skull, Grand Lich’s Bone Feet and Grand Lich’s Soul!

Wands

• Impractically Large Greatsword now contests enemy projectiles
  
• Improved Ball Lightning handling

Hey everyone! Today we released patch 0.6.0 for the demo, marking a major version!
The demo has been progressing very nicely, to a point that we start to plan for the final release. So at some point, we need to have actual full version exclusive content. We thought about that for a while and think we found the coolest way to do it:
We will make large portions of items, talents etc. available in a rotation for several weeks. This way, you can take a look at it, test it and give feedback.

This patch is centered around 2 things:
1) We vastly improved controller support, making it almost feature-complete.
2) We introduced new content, some permanent and some of it rotating.

Here are the full patch notes for version 0.6.0:
New Features:

6 NEW TALENTS:
• Ice Blocks, Shatter, Azrael’s Ice Demise, Azrael's Final Form, Samael’s Eternal Infernal Burnal, Samael's Final Form
  
  FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT:
  
• Any number of controllers can be used and switched on the fly - you don’t need to change it in the options
  
• Added button rebinding for controller
  
• Now shows correct (and controller type dependent) button prompts
  
• ADDED CONTROLLER VIBRATION - Can be adjusted in the options
  
• Added deadzone configuration for both sticks

  ROTATING CONTENT:

• This version includes preview versions of the missing Electricity set items and two Electricity talents

  ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS:
