SCOPE

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This maintenance patch fixes several bugs found and reported by players.

GAMEPAD SUPPORT

(BETA) Optimization & AI

Several reviews have pointed out that the controller scheme, no matter what it was, would feel a bit uncomfortable at playing, rendering the option useless. As such, we created an aimbot system with the following functionalities:

• Auto Aim Assist: The AI will automatically target nearby enemies, if the player is not using the controller's aim stick.
• Auto Direction: The AI will automatically target a position slightly in front of the character's direction. This function has the objective to minimize the aim-stick movement for casual interactions.

Please let us know if we should keep this feature in and/or improve it!

SPECIAL THANKS

A big special thanks to Steam user brontolo2001 for helping find bugs with the game!

DEVELOPER NOTE

We'd like to talk with you about the last few months of progression in Dungeon Souls. As you may have noticed, there weren't any significant updates in the past months and the game looked a bit "neglected" or even discontinued. We do apologize for this kind of feeling we let off. Despite the fact that content wise the progress was slow, we've been doing several analysis of the community's reviews and taking time to fix the bugs and issues with the game. We've also taken time to re-structure our QA process so that you don't have to suffer with so many bugs (since it really doesn't seem professional and I believe we can all agree on that). We do want you to know that we do care a lot about your reviews of the game and we read and evaluate every single one. We'd also like to thank those of you that were understanding of the situation. Apart from the above, we can promise that we have quite a lot of content updates planned until the end of the year, already on the making!

MOST RECENT FIXES

We have fixed the following issues found in the last 24h:

• Fixed a bug where Nightblade could get negative armour
• Fixed a bug where Linux would start in fullscreen, but the game would be stuck on the bottom left corner with a small screen size.
• Fixed a bug where passive bonus weren't being correctly applied.
• Fixed a bug where changing options and starting the game could crash for some users.

REMINDER
