We hope that you fought well and died a lot ! (with a smile, please.)

In the mean-time (hehe), we did pretty much the same in real life to bring you a deliciously viscious patch with plenty in it.

So, what's in it for you ?



It's finally here, the pointless and nonetheless thrilling friendly competition on who's getting the biggest number in the end ! Ladies and gentlemen, bow to the mighty LEADERBOARD!

Throughout your run, a score will be calculated base on your performance and the difficulty, and will allow you to show who's the boss to that one friend that unlocked "Backpack" achievement faster than anyone.

Even if you are friendless (which is clearly concerning, we have a discord and cookies, don't hesitate to drop by !), the Leaderboard is community wide and will allow you to see if you rank among the best (or the beast) ! You can access it here.

This score is roughly based on monsters killed, objectives completed, last arena reached, and your average map completion time.



In addition of a reason to kill the friend that brag the most, we also pick up on feedback about multiplayer issues for a better gaming experience.

You'll now see the health and shield bars of your fellow runners, be notified when they die, see their name above their head, and an arrow will indicate in which direction they are when one of them gets past your screen's edge.

We are also in discussion about implementing a feature that would allow players to sacrifice items to help a fellow "Backpack" in dire need of said items. We will keep you update about that.



While we are probably the only one excited about it as devs, there is something in for you : an average +30% performance boost on average configuration, and even more on high end settings for higher hardwares. Small configuration would still have around a +20% framerate improvement overall.

Hello there fellow Runners !

As we are celebrating the launch of Storm's Eye, we are already taking down the most pressing issues on bugs, performance issues and gameplay issue that arised.

Here's a not-very-detailed-but-nontheless-existing list of fixes in this update :

• Patch demo (was a bit too behind in term of improvement)
  
• Fix player archer projectile in close range
  
• Balance out some items
  
• Balance spawn zone for more difficulty depending on the scaling (map Ruins and Barricade)
  
• Balance monster kill scaling for objectives (Map Contact and Barricade)

• TCA now can move if no player is in line of sight
  
• Patch around weakpoints : medium monster taking two hits to die, 5 for big monsters, and the hitbox is less juicy. Also rework visibility for blind people :)
