Demo Patch Update

Hey everyone!

We are also happy to finally add custom key bindings to the demo! They will allow non-QWERTY players to customize the game to their liking.

But wait, there is more in this demo update!

⏳ Gameplay & Controls:

• Pickups now have physics.
• Added more language localizations.
• The salvage tool now highlights things you can salvage (units, traps).
• Large traps now affect Minions navigation, getting them to avoid them.
• Improved target actor when placing cubes horizontally, allowing to place horizontally even in challenging conditions such as very horizontal look-at angle.
• A new settings menu with lots of new options.
• A foliage density option - this helps the game run better on older GPUs.
• Tutorial: The world state now restored after tutorial to avoid possible exploits like collecting infinite resources.
• Reworked skill-bar code that will allow us to add a skill selection wheel in the future.
• Shepherd's View now has a time dillution option for slow-motion and time lapses.
• When a friendly platoon follows you, you can now always let it stop following you with a new key.

🔥 Weapons & Combat:

• Improved cannon and projectile defences behavior: They now ensure they have a line of sight on the target, don’t target units they can’t hit due to the required rotation, and prioritize closer target
• Rocket artillery is doing significantly more damage inside it’s damage radius
• Enemy waves 11-15 are less difficult, they have 1-2 enemy platoons less each.

📷 Audio, Visual & AI Enhancements:

• Increase font sizes across the board: HUD, menu, kingdom info
• Archers don't charge into battle anymore if the enemy units are outside their melee charge range.
• Reduce music volume when the game is paused.

🔥Bug Fixes

• King upgrades are now applied correctly.
• Fixed: Sometimes you could not interact with defences until you moved away and back again.
• Fixed: Blending to black did not alway cover all menu elements.

Let us know what you think!

Happy building & defending, the Castle Craft crew
