With Update 0.3.4 we are introducing a completely redesigned player character with cloak physics along plenty of highly requested improvements.

• The player character has been completely redesigned, featuring new cloak physics.
  
  

• Super boss areas can now be exited the first 6 seconds after entering in case new players are entering the area. After 6 seconds the area will lock you into the boss fight.
• The super boss portals are now deactivated for 3 seconds before being able to enter it (was 1 second before). Additionally the collider area for entering the portal have been reduced significantly. This should help to prevent accidental entering the super boss area.
• Skill nodes spawning algorithm has been reworked to better balance the amount of base and skill granting nodes
• Hearts now have an increased detection area for when they start to move towards the player
• Fragments of Lights now have an increased detection area for when they start to move towards the player
• Skill shards now also gravitate towards the player character as the hearts and fragments of light do.
• Increased glowing intensity for weapon loot beams
• Removed casted shadows for dropped weapons
• Skill performance optimisations
• Updated skill descriptions to add more consistent information
• Attack identifier intensity for spider enemies has been increased
• Player character size has been increased
• Player weapon scales have been increased

• Increased spawn rate of max HP skill nodes
• Greatsword melee damage has been increased to 2 (was 1)
• Shortsword knockback has been reduced
• Scythe has increased range and reduced knockback
• Dagger knockback has been decreased

• Fixed a bug which might caused an error when switching ranged weapons animations
• Fixed a collider issue with the hammer weapon
