v0.88 - Melee Combat Overhaul

Note: Many doors were not properly locked in 0.87. This has been fixed. If you managed to reach somewhere in the previous version without a key and are now stuck, you can now choose Options -> Support -> Start New Night to reset with the mansion without losing any items. Please reach out to Support if you have any problems - we can fix saves if need be.

New Features

Melee combat has been significantly overhauled:

• Hold the attack button for a heavy attack

• Press the attack button repeatedly for a brief combo

• Attacks now push combatants apart

• Input buffering has been rewritten to feel better

• The damage and animations of all weapons have been significantly rebalanced

• Dodge back no longer scales distance with Speed

• A new weapon - the Cleaver - has been added, and is now the initial tutorial weapon

Feedback is welcome, as this is a sizeable change in the feel of the game. If a weapon you loved you now hate, or you feel like you're struggling with the new system, please get in touch!
