Hello again, the next update is just around the corner, so we wanted to give you an idea of what to expect.

We have added 2 new modifiers and associated abilities, these are the Vampire and Static Shock modifiers.

The Static Shock modifier is designed to spice up the play style of the game, when an enemy with it takes ranged damage they will fire 2 projectiles that will bounce off nearby walls and floors (take a shield), when they take melee damage they will damage the player for 1 damage, after taking damage they will go on a cooldown. Enemies with the Vampire modifier will periodically fire a projectile that will restore some of their health, so keep your distance. After the projectile is fired, the ability will cooldown.

As always, thank you for reading and we hope you continue to enjoy playing :)

This Update is part 1 of 3 and brings the first 3 new enemy modifiers into the game!

The new modifiers are:

• Misty Step
  
• Mirage
  
• Hoarder

Misty step
As we've mentioned in the past, this modifier will allow enemies to teleport behind you, so stay aware of your surroundings


Mirage
These enemies will spawn replicas of themselves, the replicas are easily killed, but can pose a significant threat in later stages


Hoarder
This modifier makes enemies drop some extra loot when killed

Once all 3 parts of this update have released, the accompanied effects for every modifier will recieve a massive overhaul.


Alongside these additions weve made the following changes:

• fixed an issue with the bossfights where the spawned enemies would not damage the boss if hit
  
  
• moved all spawned objects (enemies, items, weapons, loot) over to a new system, allowing for better sync in multiplayer games
  
  
• several smaller fixes

Thats it for this update, have fun playing!

The Modifier System
The currently planned modifiers include things like:

• Trap re-arming
  
• Static Shock
  
• Wall Summons
  
• Vampiric lifesteal

Traps are currently a one-off danger, Enemies with this modifier will be capable of re-arming them. This will make the environment more dangerous if you're not careful.

Some enemies will fire projectiles at the player if they're hit, this is intended to reduce double-weapon use of ranged weapons.

There will also be enemies capable of spawning walls around the player, cutting off possible escape routes.

Finally, some enemies will heal after dealing damage to the player.

We will be going into more detail on each of these as development continues.

For now, the developers wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This Update will be split into several smaller updates, but all parts serve as a big content update to the game, starting with 2 of 6 upcoming new enemy modifiers, each modifier giving enemies a unique ability

• Assasin Modifier and MistyStep ability
  
  This ability lets enemies teleport behind players to catch them off guard so, watch your back!
  
  
• Mirage Modifier and Ability
  
  

Enemies with this ability will periodically spawn weak copies of itself, each copy will be able to have individual modifiers, but they will only take a single hit to kill.


the shown visuals are subject to change along the course of the full update


Alongside the Enemy Modifiers, we've added a new passive to all shields, to make them more of a viable pick over the current range "meta".

In Addition we made several improvements to enemy Spawn timings and stability

• Removed an error when collecting items
  
• Fixed remaining Materials that were not compatible with the new Rendering
  
• Improved game loading time
