Hello Woodfolks!

Halloween comes to Woodfel with this update! For Halloween pumpkins have started to grow around Woodfel. You can gather them to create placeable pumpkins, or use them to craft carved pumpkin lanterns! Some monsters also have a chance to drop Dark Pumpkin Lanterns, which are a little larger and spookier than normal..

Hope you enjoy giving a little halloween decoration to your worlds! The Halloween event is active from October 24th until November 7th.

Hey all, had to push a quick fix for the haunted house so that everyone could continue experiencing it. Fixed a few smaller things while I was at it.

• Fixed the player collision width preventing the narrow entrance and corridor in haunted house from being walked through.
  
• Fixed an issue where Wraith Corpse was blocking interaction so if an item was underneath it, that item could not be picked up.
  
• Fixed an issue where player dead bodies were phasing through Hollow Manor/ Dark Wood wagon transports.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Ghost Investigation computer was showing 1PM on guessing correctly rather than 2PM.
  
• Fixed a few spawn points where Miss Nibbles was appearing in an incorrect location.
  
• Fixed a few spawn points where Moro appeared in an incorrect location.
  
• Fixed a few spawn points where Crucifx appeared in an incorrect location.

Fixed a number of reported bugs. More stuff soon. Have a nice weekend!

• The "Additional Pylons" achievement will now properly unlock
  
• Fixed an issue causing the drone swarm mastery chance to constantly increase over time
  
• Fixed Shell Shocker’s chance to trigger (was applying an additive bonus with each check, instead of always adding the same flat bonus)
  
• Fixed a number of upgrades that were not correctly scaling with chance-based improvements
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause any bonus effects triggered by Bombikaze to be placed at the wrong location

Hi! I posted a new trailer while I'm polishing some levels in the game. In the next week I'll be adding to this trailer as I finish polish on other levels. So in the next 2 weeks you'll see a wide variety of levels that are in the game now.

So right now the trailer shows one of the levels I recently finished for the game. This should give you a good idea of what the gameplay is like since that's what it is: 100% Gameplay. This level is part of the City Crossing group of levels where you are dodging cars, manholes, fire hydrants, all kinds of things that explode, smush, or launch your sheep into orbit.

Right now, the game has a lot of different levels types in different settings like:

• Winter levels

• Westerns

• Factory levels

• Pinball levels

• Mayhem levels

• and a bunch more.

Honestly, I can't wait to give everyone a peak of them as the trailer gets updated over time.

So for the time being, I guess this is more of a Teaser Trailer hehe. I hope you like it! There's lot's more to come.

Check the store page to see it now :)

New

• 4 new Beacons

• Weapon’s Mobility stat now also affects ADS/Block transition speed

• New setting: Enemy outline/glow intensity 

Updates

• (Enemy Knight) Reduced attack slide distance by ~10%

• Enemy spawning algorithm has a new component based on player’s travel distance

• Enemy squad spawning size is now tied to total danger limit instead of being a flat scaling value.

  The goal here is to make the scaling with difficulty smoother and make lower difficulties have fewer trickles of 1 enemy at a time. This will likely require further tuning over time.

• Fallen ambushes now have an announcement so they don’t just show up randomly

• Beacon rolling pool per stage has been doubled in size to increase variety

• (Ricochet Beacon) 

  • Now auto targets nearby enemies, still goes in random direction if none are close. 

  • Damage reduced to 50% (was 100).

  • Now can trigger other ranged hit perks

Fixes

• Fixed Knights, Brutes and Chargers ignoring base movement speed stats while attack chasing.

  It’s been bugging me for quite a while how heavy knights feel so oppressive and hard to manage when they are supposed to be the slower tankier enemies… finally found it. Might need to buff their other stats in the future to compensate.

- added demo feedback form for a chance to win full copy of the game

-Fixed the door from Aeon not opening correctly

-Fixed being stuck in bonus levels

-Fixed some issues with accessories

-Fixed vehicles not appearing after summoning them

That said, we are aware and working on a few major issues that will take us a bit longer to resolve:

-Performance issues (We’ve pushed some updates to fix this, but it’s ongoing)

-Very rare issue where the game crashes on startup 

-Issue in Corpopolis where progress is broken 

-Co-op requiring two controllers plugged instead of just one

-Playground not starting properly for a very small group of people -

-The map does not properly open on some rare occasions

We appreciate everyone's continued support as we work to get things resolved asap! But we do need a bit of rest today!

Thanks!
