The project has gone through much since it was last updated, and the old code base (which wasn't much of a base) had to make room for the new.

The multiplayer patch isn't the end of single player content, I've just moved the old branch to a beta that you can opt into.

Right click the game in your library, then go to Properties - > Betas, click the drop down and select "legacy_content".

I'm working on single player content for the new networked codebase, I'll hopefully have some stuff to share in the next week or two.

Thanks for reading, the new year is almost here and I wish you all a creative one.

It has been a crazy week! Not only do I work a full time job, but also have to balance Christmas on the 25th, my birthday on the 27th, my girlfriends birthday on the 29th, and New Years Eve on the 31st. Today I managed to escape for a while and get a full 16 hours away from obligations to work on the latest patch. This final uninterrupted session was a god send! I was able to address many of the big ticket items we have received from our players. See the end of the post for the full change log.

Combat Changes
We have added floating combat text. When doing damage to an enemy, you will see your damage appear in yellow text. If a team mate damages an enemy, the text will be white.

It was reported that Melee weapons were vastly overpowered. We found that melee weapons would hit multiple times in one directional swing, causing incredible damage. This has been fixed and each enemy is now much more difficult to kill.

Combat felt quite lackluster in the previous patch and for good reason. We discovered that Players were unable to die which lead to a lack of threat. We have fixed this problem. When a player dies, their body explodes and they are left to spectate from where they were slain. Players can return to the lobby to join another game after death.

We adjusted each enemies health. Most enemies have had their health grow substantially. Please let us know if it feels appropriate.

Shields were not working as intended in the last patch. Properly blocking an enemy's attack with your shield will now negate the incoming damage.

Changes to all Weapons
Many of our customers have mentioned that the positioning of the items in the hands did not feel intuitive. We have visited each weapon in the game and adjusted the held position and rotation to allow for a more natural grip. Please let us know if you prefer it this way!

Bow and Arrow changes
When using a bow, the quiver is now available over your shoulder. Simply reach and grab behind your head with your open hand and you'll have an arrow ready to go! The new system allows the quiver to follow the player with Room Scale motion and should allow for more fluid and intuitive archery.

Movement Fixes
We discovered that the Player would not rotate and collide based on the bodies position, but instead based on the center of the VR space. This led to awkward rotations and difficulty climbing stairs if not centered in your play space. This has been corrected and should feel much more natural.

All in all, we fixed a large number of bugs. I am still working on addressing more minor issues but felt these were very important to get into the community's hands. As always, we encourage your feedback! Please let us know if you have any suggestions, comments, concerns, etc. If you'd like to get more involved with the development of Knights of the Drowned Table, please join our Discord Server. We have stickied the address in Discussions tab.

Much Love,

Billy
