What's new in 0.12.0?

The most noticeable change in this release is removed line of sight visibility requirement. The enemies are now always visible like in most platformer games. This simple change makes the game much more enjoyable, since it removes the annoying unavoidable deaths when hidden enemy pops up right in front of you.

Enemies visible through walls

The game got a bit easier now that the enemies are less likely to take you by surprise, so I will likely have to adjust the difficulty of existing levels at some point. Any feedback on overall difficulty of the game is very much welcome.

Here's full list of changes since 0.11.0 alpha version:

  • Removed line of sight visibility tests so that enemies are always visible.
  • Replaced all explosion sound effects with much beefier ones.
  • Added separate stand pose to human animation for more natural standing position.
  • Made damaged walk speed limitation fade in and out smoothly.
  • Minor tweaking to human walk cycle animation.
  • Fixed AI treating flying body parts and grenades as obstacles.
  • Made AI react to door opening sounds.
  • Guards now slowly aim at targets instead of instantly having perfect aim.
  • Gave dragon AI ability to go around obstacles while attacking.
  • Fixed reconfigure scripts that broke due to executable name change.
  • Fixed dragon wing flap sounds not stopping when dragon dies.
  • Fixed crash on match start after deleting and re-downloading the used level.

Unable to open library: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./lib/libplatform.so)
i running on debian squeeze. so this game is only for kernel 3.xx and up ?

Current Linux builds do require GLIBCXX_3.4.15 support in libstdc++. This is something related to used compiler and library versions, not kernel version.

I thought I tested this in Debian 6, I will have to look into this. Is your Debian 32 or 64-bit?

It's good to hear that you like it!

This game too will be split into free playable demo version and paid full version. I will try to keep the free version worth playing too, but obviously there will be some restrictions compared to the full version.

I hoping to have this game published on Desura at some point, but I haven't really done anything about it yet. I will take a closer look at Desura after next alpha release..

I really like how this is turning out. It seems really neat!

Some thoughts:
Add full A, S, F, W support (so you can jump with W as well)
Add mouse support (much easier to move around with)

Other than that, everything is fine. The animations are awesome.

I can definitely add jump with W-key too.

Did you try the current mouse control (enabled from settings menu)? I know it's probably not what you wanted, but I'd still like to hear what people think of it.

I'm starting to give in to implementing a "real" mouse control where you move a visible cursor on screen and player character always aims to the cursor..
