In this gif you can see a new weapon, the hammer. Its a ranged weapon that you can throw, and it can be affected by charms like all the other weapons. When hitting monsters, it triggers the physical charm effects. It has a base penetration modifier of 3 that can be increased by charms. New charms include a reflect multiplicator (rangers tooth), a burning damage charm (little flame) and a electric spark triggering charm (causes little sparks to swirl off and hit other enemies on physical damage).
Have a great weekend everyone!
Haha I love me some particles ;)
A wide range of weapons and (in your case) charms is really an exciting feature to look forward in games like this.
Cool changelog! It looks like you're making the code easier to work with, so I'm looking forward to even more beautiful stuffs!
Good luck to you, and everyone helping you out! :D
