Hello, Corporates!

The Grimstar: Welcome to the Savage Planet update 1.3.0 has been released. I would like to thank you again for all your feedback on Steam and Discord, which also made this update possible. The following are some of the major changes:

Balance improvements have been made to the new enemy and player fractions. The existing mission maps have also been updated slightly.

The game has also been optimized again to improve performance, and the pathfinding has been improved so the units do not overlap when moving.

The game has been improved by fixing a number of bugs. In some cases, even when the place was free, it was impossible to build or call new units.

As always, I welcome any feedback you may have about the new update!

We look forward to seeing you out there, on the surface of a savage planet!

You are very welcome to join our Discord server to discuss more about the game.

IMPROVEMENT

FIGHTERS

Front Dodge Bash changes

In the previous patch, we've sped up our 500ms front dodge bashes to be 433ms. This introduced an unfortunate interaction where these attacks could reliably be dodged on a single timing. We've made the following changes to ensure there is no singular dodge timing to beat these attacks:

1. All 433ms Front Dodge Bashes now lose tracking 100ms later during the attack against dodging opponents
   
2. The following heroes have their Front Dodge recovery lowered by 100ms:

• Conqueror
  
• Jormungandr
  
• Zhanhu

Additional changes

• Medjay's Throne Room Tackle can now be performed starting at 300ms during their Front Dodge, up from 100ms
  
• Tiandi's Palm Strike can now be performed starting at 366ms during their Front Dodge, up from 300ms

Dev comments: The changes to the way Front Dodge Bashes track opponents makes it to that delayed Front Dodge Bashes will now properly connect against early dodges. This should return to the type of play we had before the changes, where the intent was that opponents had to read between dodging early or late; due to how the changes were implemented, there was an issue where a single dodge timing could beat buffered bashes, delayed bashes and dodge to guardbreak; with these new timings, this type of situation should no longer happen.

To ensure this is also fixed on Conqueror, Jormungandr and Zhanhu, we've also lowered their recovery from Front Dodge so they can Guardbreak earlier and catch the outlier dodges that can effectively dodge both the buffered and delayed bashes.

Finally, we've also applied a change to Medjay and Tiandi; Medjay's Throne Room Tackle was too oppressive at their new timings, while Tiandi's new timings meant that players had one less option to beat Tiandi when the hero performed a dodge cancel from Light attacks into Palm Strike. With this new change, players should be able to trade with Palm Strike by using a Light Attack.

Hitokiri

• Meikai Rift (Light Finishers) no longer have Uninterruptible Stance.
  
• Hitokiri now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 100ms when performing Endless Myriad, down from starting at 300ms

*Dev comment: Hitokiri used to have Uninterruptible Stance on Meikai Rift to be used as an early trading tool, but this proved to be awkward as the hero needed to end their chain and pressure to trade with opponents. As the hero's identity is to be a relentless attacker and have strong mixups, we've adjusted the position of the Uninterruptible Stance so Hitokiri is able to use their chained Heavies more effectively in outnumbered situations and be more difficult to peel.*

• Chain Link Timing changes from Opener Light attack to Rei Kick / Rei Sweep
  
• On Hit and On Block, chain link timing now starts at 333ms, up from 200ms
  
• On Miss, chain link timing now starts at 233ms, up from 100ms

*Dev comment: With Hitokiri's chained Heavy attacks getting better Uninterruptible Stance timings, we changed this chain link timing to give opponents more options after the hero's Light Openers; they can now interrupt Rei Kick with a Light attack on a successful read.*

• Adjusted the Weapon Trajectories for all Heavy Attacks to have better range

*Dev comment: One of our goals for Hitokiri is to ensure players can effectively use the hero's Side Heavy attacks in outnumbered situations, in combination with Uninterruptible Stance. Their current values were underwhelming and made it too difficult to hit external opponents; with these adjustments, they should hit more reliably and give Hitokiri more offense-based defense in group fights.*

WHITE BONUS SPIRIT ARMOR

• Improved the White Bonus Spirit Armor, adapted the model to better fit Body Type 1 and fixed a few clipping issues

LOCAL TONE MAPPING

• Added new Local Tone Mapping Display Option

*Dev comments: Instead of using one average exposure value for the frame, we adjust it independently for different parts of the image. It means that we can get back details in very bright or very dark areas, without losing the overall quality.*

It's an option you can enable on other platforms in Quality Mode, and on PC. It's off by default, so you can choose to try it or not.
