Patch 1.4.4 notes
SKY DRILL » Devlog
Changelog:
- Reverted movement back to feel 'snappy' again.
- After gathering feedback for a week or so and playing through a bunch myself, I made the call to switch back to the old movement system (turned up air drag, but also turned up acceleration).
- The player should control much easier now, with less emphasis on momentum and more on clean movements in ai
- Reworked the way that wind pushes the player
- wind now provides a steady offset to the player's velocity instead of accelerating
- Revised a ton of levels, added more goldfields levels and more
- Many early levels (even the earliest, most trivial ones) now have "optimal" paths with a boost available. I think it'll be more fun this way, but we'll see
- Added challenging difficulty levels
- Fixed wizard and pocket storm items
- Wizard now works as intended, making the player levitate upwards slowly
- Pocket storm now boosts you upwards if used while falling
- Both items will simply boost drill pwr when used while digging now
- Added new item - pickaxe
- Implementation is mostly finished, but lacks polish
- Fixed a bug where moving platforms would not start moving again after resuming
- Added a short "intro animation" when starting a run. The player no longer hovers weirdly in the air before starting a game.
- Added a new ui element for active consumable effects (such as shotgun shells, SOS)
