Lay of the Land 0.6.0 The Combat Update
🕑 Added 2024-08-03 00:09:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
The combat update is here. I've spent the last month overhauling the combat in the game as well as adding farming, more food, artifacts, armour, better visuals and more.
I hope you enjoy the update and that you all so much for the support :)
You will need to create a new world.
Combat/Movement Improvements
There have been many improvements to movement and combat. The player can now crouch to make it harder for enemies to hear/see them. You can now swim in water. In combat you can now use a dodge to avoid attacks and there is now a stamina system (sprinting and dodging use and require stamina).
Certain items such as weapons now have durability and will break when durability reaches zero. Items can be repaired at an anvil.
Also the entire game has been rebalanced around the new combat systems.
Artifacts
You can now find various ancient artifacts around the world. Each artifact has a unique function that enhances your combat abilities.
Armour
You can now use armour to reduce the damage you take from enemies helping you survive.
Food
Eating different foods now also give temporary buffs. E.g tomato increases max health, lean meat increases heath, mana and stamina regen rate etc.
Farming
Farming has been added to the game. You can now plant different seeds that will grow and produce food which you can harvest.
Visuals
The game now uses a full PBR pipeline for the materials in the game. Each material now has color, specular, metallic, roughness and normal maps. Also many textures have been adjusted/had their colors tweaked.
