Update 0.1a40

We are super excited to announce the last content patch in our pre-beta phase. The feedback of everyone, from the Roguelike Council to the streamers and the viewers, helped us address a lot of issues quickly and add quality of life features all players will benefit from. Here is a quick rundown of what's inside.

Gamepad Twin-Stick support

After our previously announced targeting lock system for mono-stick gamepad players, we added support for the Twin-Sticks configuration. You can change the preset in the Controls section of the Options menu. Here are the Twin-Stick default bindings:
For completion sake, these are the default gamepad controls:

Passing of Time

The world now cycles through 3 lighting settings: Daylight, Twilight, Night. Completing one combat waypoint will progress to the next period of the day; merchants and random events will not. There are several events we are adding that are available only during specific lighting settings (e.g. only at night).

Secret Encounters

A new legendary Fate Shard has been added, called "Secret Encounter"; it can drop only once per run and on certain conditions. If used on an Event node, a random secret encounter will be chosen from the pool and replace the normal event. These secret encounters are difficult mini-bosses that offer great rewards.

Other changes

Additions

• New load screens and tips. Please note these are not a replacement for tutorials, which are coming ;)
• Composite bow now has a shiny effect when you release the arrow at the right time.
• The lobby has been cleaned up and is a little more wide to accomodate for the golems we will add very soon.
• Applying a permanent fate shard now requires a confirmation.

Improvements

• Improved combat areas generation times (around 70% faster).
• Removed some background noise that was left behind from some random events.
• Minor in-combat performance improvements.

Fixes

• Zub now correctly attacks again instead of hugging the player.
• The mad orc boss is a little more stable and shouldn't block for half the fight.
