Patch 0.3.4.1

Game Description Image

You can now edit the key binding for the "interact" button.

Improved player lighting
Improved player cloak physics
Improved player sideways walk animations
The fluid weapon animation setting has been removed from the options menu. This setting activated an interpolation of the weapon movement to make it appear more fluid. As weapon movement without the interpolation is more responsive it's now completely removed from the game. Initially this setting also caused some performance issues on lower end hardware so therefore is was made available as an option.
Added tooltip to the experimental voice acting option
Better tooltips activation on the attack cost section of the stats window

Fixed a bug which caused a crash on resuming a run from a game version previous the 0.3.4 patch
Fixed a wrong attack direction on the hammer weapon when attacking downwards
Fixed a bug which caused the game to crash when using double hit on player death
