Intro:

A doppelgnger is a psychological phenomenon where a person sees themselves in real life. Psychologists explain it as a psychological illusionself-gazing phenomenon. Another perspective suggests that a doppelgnger is an invisible self hidden within everyones mind. This version uses this concept to emphasize the addition of a mode where players can play as the female protagonist, Pisicen. Additionally, this update brings significant improvements to combat experience and visual effects.

Updates:

Doppelgnger

• Introduced Pisitsyn mode.
• Avatar screenshots
• When players create a character in multiplayer or custom mode without any initial stat allocation, the character will transform into the female protagonist Pisitsyn, with unique idle and walking animations.
• Due to spatial accuracy characteristics, the smaller stature of the female protagonist compared to the default character will provide a distinctly different experience.
• Currently, the characters outfit is still in production, temporarily replaced with a swimsuit of the corresponding color.
• The save slot for Pisitsyn in free mode will be marked with a black and white striped icon.
• Using an unenhanced Pisitsyn character (with all attributes at only 10 points) in self-use mode to clear Past as New will unlock a hidden achievement.
• Pisitsyn currently has no voice acting, apologies for the inconvenience.
• More hairstyles and outfits for the character will be added in the future, stay tuned!
  

Clouds After Dragon, Wind After Tiger

• A new interpretation of the legendary weapons Vertue and Roi, with new interactive visual effects.
• When Vertue is activated by a battle cry, the sword will have golden arcs and conduct with the surrounding environment.
• When Roiis activated by a battle cry, an invisible giant blade will form around the blade, emitting strong airflow and accompanied by a howling sound.
• Vertues base attack power has been reduced from 200 to 140.
• Rois activation effect now not only increases ice attribute damage but also expands the hitbox and prevents weapon deflection.
  

Improved Combat Experience

• Fixed an issue where follow-up inputs after a kick hit were unresponsive, caused by previous animation acceleration.
• Fixed an issue where UE enemies (such as the second encounter with Templar) had a chance to miss attacks (passing through players or NPCs).
• Fixed several chaotic behavior of NPCs.
• Optimized NPC behavior strategies for using heavy and sprint attacks.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs would insert a momentary dash action during attack animations, interrupting the attack.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs would switch from heavy to light attacks midway.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs would make sounds without actual actions.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs would always detect players prematurely when retrying levels.
• Optimized enemy arrangement in level 8, rationalizing difficulty settings.
  

Other QOL Improvements and Feature Expansions

• Added an option to swap the sprint and dodge function keys in keyboard settings, i.e., swapping shift and space functions.
• Increased the number of custom character slots in free mode from 40 to 100.
• Adjusted the duration of abnormal effects: freeze reduced from 20s to 10s, erosion reduced from 40s to 30s.
• Restored the surface coverage effect of ice attribute damage on characters and enhanced the water stain effect to improve visibility on lighter-colored outfits.
• Added achievement items for new weapons in free mode - Jamias-Vu.
• Added support for ultra-wide screen resolutions.
