I am pleased to announce the release of v1.6.0 of the demo for Haunted: Attack of the Dead Men. This update provides significant changes to the level design, new scenery, major performance improvements and more.

Full Release Notes for v1.6.0

• Reworked the layouts of Maps 2, 3 and 4 - it should now be more obvious what to look for to finish each of these levels. This includes adding new markers for important switches, better hiding and placement of secret switches and fencing off different areas to act as a clearer indication of where to go next
• Added new scenery:
  • Crashed planes (German and Russian variants)
  • Portraits
  • Banners and flags
  • Crates
• Significantly improved performance in Maps 1 and 3
• Added stats tracking for progress towards achievements that can be earned in Maps 1 - 4. Achievements unlocked in the demo will not be visible but will unlock when purchasing the full game
• Updated engine to Godot 4.2.1
• Tweaked the blood decal effects. Blood now appears more translucent and should no longer appear on the ground-floor ceilings in Map 2
• Recoloured some minimap sprites. Barrels and doors are now green to make it clearer that enemies are not visible on the minimap
• Finished and improved the secret exit. It should now be somewhat possible to find it (as opposed to virtually impossible)
• Fixed crash when interacting with already open doors
• Fixed several bugs with different resolutions in both fullscreen and windowed modes
• Fixed weapon animations when loading an autosave
• Minor bug fixes and improvements

Known Issues

• v1.5.0 save games in Maps 2, 3 and 4 may no longer load correctly as a result of the level design changes. Autosaves will load fine, however manual and quick saves may put the player character in an inaccessible location and soft-lock the level. These saves will appear as out-of-date in the load menu but it is strongly recommended to start a new game.
• Button highlighting in the menus may be broken when first launching the game in fullscreen mode. The buttons will still work when clicked on, however they will not change colour or play a sound when hovered over - this can be fixed by tabbing out of the game and back in again. This appears to be an engine issue introduced by Godot 4.2.1.
