And after the wait, v0.85 is finally here with a big amount of items worked on!

Performance improvements

The main reason it took a few more days before the test build was ready. The engine was updated to the last stable version with many improvements of its own, a few memory issues were addressed, and many other small fixes and logic corrections were implemented.

Hopefully all of it together improves the game’s performance and reduces crashes and stutters.

Combat tutorial

This is one I find relevant since combat has been one of the pain points for a while. When you start a new game now, you are asked if you want to play the combat tutorial, which will initiate a fight with a single Wharf Roach and explain the basics in a slide show styled layout. Use one of the new save slots to check it out.

Still in regards to combat, some additional rebalancing was done, so please check the changelog for the details :).

Giant Slug

The sewer now has a new party of enemies with 3 new scenes for you to collect. Slugs are thougher than any other enemy so far, but I think that the rebalances made everyone easier on my tests, so let’s see.

Libido Gun

The last item of the Libido collection is finally implemented. This one may, or not, be a bit unbalanced, as it is quite powerful on its own, however it requires you to purchase Libido Bullets in order to operate, try it out and let me know.
