To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library: Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.21.x in dropdown. Back at it with another update. This time it is mostly minor things like new tiles, some new items like trinkets, weapons, armor and potions. A lot of the things I have been working on couldn't make it into this update, so stay tuned for future ones! Building beautiful castles and houses is definitely not a strong suit for Necesse, but hopefully adding a few more building options will at least improve it. This update contains some much needed new tiles, floors and some updated tile textures as well.
Working towards moving the experimental version to main means I have been tying up loose ends. This includes making trinkets more unique to their biome, adding new trinkets, a few weapons in places that needed them and other items. This should increase the variety of items you get in throughout the game.
With the release of the new colored lighting, I knew it had a few unsolved issues that I postponed. These should are now fixed and I also took the opportunity to optimize the engine. Together with the optimized level loading in previous update, this should make using ladders and teleports more smooth.
Some of the many other smaller changes are: - New landfill item. - Slightly easier early game bosses. - A few updated textures like Fire Chalice and Cheese Press. - Ability to turn off all lights using wire. - A lot of tweaks and fixes throughout the game. And much more. See the full changelog below
