We're there! We started handing over the next preview version (codename "VC1") to our most trusted playtesters.

Many small changes, fixes and improvements this week. Not terribly exciting, but still neccesssary! Even more so now that we're taking the final steps towards the coming preview.

Content
  • finished designing the Iceworld boss
  • added two new skills for the Rogue: Crows and Raven
Fixes
  • fixed yet another collision issue where a player would merge with big creatures instead of bouncing back
  • fixed issue with AI navigation when walking towards a constant direction (instead of walking to a given destination or target)

The Rogue has now access to some powerful companions on her side, namely a bunch of crows and a powerful raven. The crows circle around the Rogue, protecting her from nearby enemies, while the raven roams the battlefield on his own. Also, Knightmare, the boss of Iceworld, is finally done.
