Hey Undead Citadel players on Steam!

We've been hard at work for some months now, making some sweet improvements to the game to port it to standalone platforms and PSVR2. So, it's time to update the Steam version with all of these improvements!

We've updated the engine, worked on the audio, tweaked performance and controls, and finally fixed those pesky weapon movements so they’re way more realistic and comfy. We know some of you were dealing with floaty weapons—super annoying due to your setup, right? That should be sorted out now.

If you already have Undead Citadel for Steam and would like to try the update now, it's in beta. Go to your library -> right-click on Undead Citadel -> Betas -> Beta - Public Beta channel for testing new features.

We’d love for you to give it a spin and let us know what you think. Your feedback is super important and helps us get everything just right before we release it to everyone. Please comment here, on our Discord, or email us at [email protected], and let us know what device you are using.

DISCLAIMER
This update is currently good to go only with Meta Quest devices (Quest 2 / Quest 3 / Quest Pro). If you have any other headset, you can still try it, but it probably won't work properly. Support for other headsets will be available soon!

Thanks a ton for sticking with us and sharing your thoughts. We hope you enjoy this update. We’re pumped to keep building awesome new stuff for Undead Citadel together.

ALERT SPOILER
We have started building the most demanded feature, but we wanted to update the game and have a solid base to build upon. So we hope this update will fit it.

The Undead Citadel Team

• More Potion Drops in Boss Combat: To make the final combat more fair and challenging, we have added more potion drops to aid you in battle.
  
• Increased Undead Awareness: Undead creatures now make more noise when approaching from behind to avoid unfair situations. Listen closely to their footsteps and warning cries as they draw near!

Feedback

• Friction Feedback: You will now feel feedback when touching different surfaces both with your hands and picked-up weapons. Vibration, sound, and particles will vary based on materials and contact speed.
  
• Improved Combat Feedback: We have worked on enhancing sound effects, particles, and vibration to deliver an even more immersive and exciting combat experience.

More improvements

• Enhanced Inventory Belt Positioning: We have adjusted the inventory belt position to provide a more comfortable and effortless experience when interacting with and picking up objects close to the player.

Try our new Weapons Movement Algorithm

We are working on a new Weapons Movement Algorithm and would love for you to try it out. Access the special test scene with weapons using both the official algorithm and the new one (although it's not yet fully finished).

To access this option from the main menu, perform the following button combination: Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger (depending on your device it will be Grab buttons instead of Triggers)

Patch Notes - Undead Citadel Version 1.0.2

Bug Fix:

Fixed an issue introduced in version 1.0.1 that affected climbing mechanics. Players can now traverse vertical environments seamlessly without getting stuck or experiencing sudden drops.

We are so glad to be getting so much feedback from you all. Your input has been invaluable in helping us identify areas for improvement in Undead Citadel. We truly appreciate your support and the time you have taken to share your thoughts and suggestions.
Rest assured, we are committed to making Undead Citadel the best combat experience possible. We have been diligently working on implementing the feedback we received, and the result is Undead Citadel v1.0.1. However, our work doesn't stop here.

Here are some of the notable changes you can expect in this version

Improved latency in hand movements and rotations

We have improved the algorithm for hand movement, making them move more realistically. Now, hands don’t go away when the player rotates fast smoothly. They are also less floaty.

This is one of a bunch of improvements we are preparing to improve the latency and improving the physics in the game so expect more improvements to come really soon. Contact us if you want to have anticipated access to our tests and help us to make it better.

Improved parry detection
Based on your suggestions we have made parry a little bit easier by increasing the parry angle and the timing window.

Added ambient sounds in previously quiet areas
We listened to your feedback about quiet areas, so we added more sounds and fixed some bugs about other audios.

Addressed impact feedback issues with certain attacks
In base of your comments we also managed some problems with the impact feedback, making them feel better.

Physics adjustments synchronized with the computer's framerate.
For some of you, one of the causes that added a floaty feeling to the game was a low framerate. Now we will adjust the physics framerate to your computer possibilities.
However you can still manually adjust other values such as shadows, terrain quality and render scale until you find a good balance between quality and performance.

Other changes

• Optimized terrain for smoother gameplay.
  
• Tweaked LOD (Level of Detail) objects for improved performance.
  
• Modified hitboxes for unarmed and grounded enemies.
  
• Fixed combat music that failed to start or remained active after battles.
  
• Other minor fixes.

IMPORTANT
We have changed the Steam controller assignments. If you have overwritten them, please revert to the default values and then make your changes again. Otherwise, the hands may appear displaced.

We have more exciting improvements in the pipeline that are almost ready to be released. These upcoming updates will further enhance the combat mechanics and optimize performance. We can't wait to share them with you!
If you would like to have early access to our tests and be a part of shaping the future updates, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback and for being a part of the Undead Citadel community. Your support motivates us to keep pushing boundaries and creating an exceptional gaming experience for all our players.
