We've released a big update for our stealth demo, replete with a huge number of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and more. One of the biggest changes is our move to Unity 2019.4, which brings a host of performance and functionality improvements. This update brings us closer to our true vision of the game, and we hope you enjoy it!

Stages

• Queenswood enemy waves have been adjusted to be slightly more forgiving to newcomers.
• Old Saint's enemy waves have been completely redesigned to accommodate a new enemy type!
• Added restart level option to pause menu

Art/Visuals

• Lighting and normal maps have been tuned up to address visual artifacts that were appearing on character sprites while standing in rendered lighting
• Halo lighting has been adjusted to behave dynamically based on surroundings. No more blindingly bright sprites
• Animations have been completed for a brand new enemy type, which can be found waiting in the Old Saint's Cathedral
• Updated UI to be slightly more compact
• Added a new attack to ravager minions
• Alarm overhead alerts now remain visible until the guard either rings the bell or dies
• Halo lighting will fade out and disappear from dead enemies

Gameplay/Balance

• Assimilating a corpse now heals you 10 health/second over 5 seconds. Taking damage will stop regeneration
• AP/sec gain is increased by 50% while stationary or stalking
• Guard jump height has been slightly lowered so they appear less like superman ninjas
• Ledge climbing is slightly more forgiving for both players and AI
• Morale shocks are slightly more consistent now
• Enemies now have cooldowns per attack instead of one cooldown for all attacks (meaning that AI can now chain one attack after the other. Be careful!)
• Alarms now alert all enemies in the level for a set duration, and will start roaming the level actively looking for you
• Added a cancel window to guard

AI/Misc Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where AI would run in place indefinitely
• AI now have a delayed reaction to hearing audio alerts
• AI navigation has been tuned up to address a number of issues with indefinite looping or navigation hiccups
• Fixed an issue where characters would climb through passable terrain and immediately fall through
• Fixed stampede ending prematurely
• Fixed stampede being able to be used backwards
• Fixed ravagers using footman voice lines
• Fixed players being able to transform again after all the waves end
• Fixed being able to summon ravagers after all the waves end
• Fixed projectiles going through terrain
• Fixed a number of missing hitbox issues
• Options menu is now interactable with mouse cursor
