It took longer than I meant :| but I built some new game systems and learned a lot about 3d modeling, AI, and monster creation workflows in the process. At the very least, I think the Queen has turned out pretty well and will serve as challenge for those of you that have been looking for some more difficulty, as well as a new character that I love.
New content ~ Wawsp nests can be found out in the wilderness. New monsters, items, and a boss have been added to the game!
Balance changes ~ Monsters have been given 'burst armor' again, meaning the more damage they've taken in the last couple seconds, the more damage resistance they'll have. This is to prevent bosses from being melted too easily.
New effects ~ Screen Space Ambient Occlusion can be enabled in the settings, it still needs work but looks pretty good in some areas. We have magma now too!
Fixes ~ Car is heavier and drives a bit better. I was also able to finally fix Mrs. Slitherss, by making her stretchy, so her body glitches out less.
Next order of business ~ Item swapping via hotkeys, a world map, quest system, and spells. Surely that won't be hard xD I hope everyone is doing well.
The wawsp boss music was made in collab with Edward K Stuart and myself, with some tweaking by BCFRecords. It can be found on SoundCloud and Youtube.
