Today we’ll tell you about the Necromancer — a grim master of death who turns the fallen into his loyal servants.

If the Leader commands the living, the Necromancer commands the dead. He combines traits of the Leader, Mage, and Artisan, yet acts in a completely different way. His path is to gather the Remains of fallen enemies and turn them into an army of the undead. He makes no distinction between enemies and allies — all serve him after death.

The Necromancer welcomes every battle and every new friend — for sooner or later, they all join his ranks. He has no need for Leadership: Skeletons are mindless and utterly loyal, so they can be recruited without limits.

Class features

- Starting items: 20 Gold, a Basic Staff, and several Remains

- First talent - Control: increases the effectiveness of controlled undead by 10% per skill level

- Second talent - Dexterity: increases the speed of raising undead. The stronger the creature, the longer the raising process

- The Necromancer gains 30% more bonuses from improving tomes, making him a powerful spellcaster even without upgrading Meditation

- Gains bonuses from Cemeteries and Burial Grounds on the map and can collect Remains there

Weaknesses

- To expand his army, the Necromancer benefits from destroying everyone around him — the more fallen there are, the more soldiers he can raise. But that takes time!

- Unlocks after completing the game as the Mage.

The Necromancer is a choice for those who want to become a true villain and experience something completely different.

fixed this thing

Man. Ladders are HARD to make.

For a long, long time, ladders have been one of the biggest pain points in REDSHIFT. Unknown to many, they can actually be extremely hard to pull off well. Until now, REDSHIFT has had a floating interaction box that you just simply "fly" up and down. That all changes today!

Ladders now are their own custom blueprint that implements the interaction system the rest of REDSHIFT uses. When you approach a ladder, you now enter a small animation to grab and climb it all the way to the top! There are two transform spots per ladder, and the game finds the closest one, which is a simple and easy way to determine if you are at the top or bottom and which way to "climb".

In the future, I might add the ability to let go early, as well as work on creating/connecting a better animation.

Sorry, no bug fixes this patch. Wanted to get this big pain point out first!

• Player's camera can clip through exterior facility walls. This is more of a complex fix and will looked at for next patch.

• Some settings do not persist correctly between intro, game, and ending.

• High Contrast mode still does not yet function properly during the REDSHIFT sequence. I haven't had time to work on this while pushing out the lighting update, but it's now on my list!

• Escape to menu does not work during credits. (Sorry, guess you'll have to look at all the cool people who've worked on REDSHIFT for now.)

• Door sounds always play on Redshift activation, even when not intended.

• Facility doors are too loud when stacked. Above bug should solve this but it's on the list anyways.

• Faraday Cage Door doesn’t play the open/close sound more than once.
