Hey, y'all - we added some quality of life improvements, most importantly showing when Gendai is invincible. This should aid to not destroy your items when it was previously unclear.

Version 2.5 brings the following:

- Adds a flashing effect to the final boss to indicate invincibility frames

- Improved the navmesh on Level 1 so enemies can enter/leave buildings and walk through tables

- Fixes Mirai's jump sfx in the skill menu & pause menu

- Fixes some typos in skill descriptions

Hope you're having a great summer!

With love 💖,

- The Trashfire Team

UI Fix: Corrected the time control label to display properly as "40/90, SD/30+30."

New Feature: Added a new time control option: Rapid 25+10, one of the more commonly used formats.

There are quite a few changes in this latest update so we will do our best to enumerate them and explain our thinking behind them! If you have feedback feel free to let us know in the OliveHillStudios Discord server.

One of the consistent areas we got feedback on was that players were feeling a bit cramped and couldn't see where they wanted to. By zooming out a bit and letting the camera follow the player, players can now see vampires from much further away and can plan out their defenses better. The exception to this is boss fights which will still feature a locked down camera, as the fights were largely designed around this and when testing boss fights with a player-follow style camera, the result proved to be quite unsatisfactory.

One problem with trying to onboard players in a tutorial is you risk dumping a bunch of information on them at a time where the information isn't relevant. We still have a small tutorial, but we moved much more information into our context sensitive hint system. As players play, certain events will trigger hints relative to that event so that players are getting the information they need when it is relevant to what they are doing in-game.

A very common area of feedback, especially from newer players, is that there is not enough time during the dawn phase to figure out what to do. We decided to solve this by putting the power in the players hands. You get to decide when to start the next wave. Seasoned vets can kick off the next wave right away if they don't want to wait around. Players that are brand new to the game, can take as much time as they need interacting with vendors and recovering from the frenetic action. This did however introduce a problem. With unlimited time to rest in the dawn phase, the temptation is to repair every single broken window or door. And this leads us to our next big change.

This is to facilitate repairing all broken entrances quickly during the dawn phase. We found that going around and repairing every door and window was just a chore and not fun.

The new variability in time spent during dawn phases meant that our music system had to be able to adapt to players who spent a long time in dawn phase preparing versus players who started right away. So we worked closely together composer with engineers to create a music system that seamlessly layers in intense action music during dusk phases and ramps down to calmer ambient music during dawn phases.

We decided that it just didn't make much sense to not allow players to purchase turrets during the battle phase. This way players can react to a particularly dangerous buildup of vampires by purchasing a turret. They can also spend doubloons during the combat phase to increase their survivability.

This screen will keep track off all sorts of fun things from multikills, accuracy, and even clutch reloads (defined as killing an instant reload vampire variant on the final round of whatever weapon you are using). Not only are your current run statistics kept track of, but your personal best records of each stat are also tracked so you can see how you are improving.

Thanks for playing Dracs After Dusk! If you want to be a part of shaping the game please feel free to join our Discord and share your thoughts with us over there!

Thanks!
