We hope gravity has been kind to you!
We at computerfamilie are working on several rather impactful content updates and would like to let you all know what's coming over the next few weeks. Hereâs whatâs dropping this July:
Is that a typo? It isnât! Get ready to wipe out as you surf across in-game elements for maximum fun and cool new achievements. And no, weâre not jumping the shark â but there will be a bit of extra focus on riding your friendly finned companion from Swords & Sharks.
Our legendary chum âSharky McSharksonâ wonât be alone for long now. Heâs getting company: Cows and Dogs are coming as brand-new palette elements. Naturally, theyâre bringing a fresh batch of quirky achievements for you to chase!
Over the next few weeks, weâre tuning things up! The Palette Feature will get a new musical option, letting you choose your favorite background tracks. And yes, a selection of all-new musical compositions will be added to the game to keep your ears entertained while you play.
All these updates are part of our July update cycle, starting Thursday, July 3rd. So stay tuned and thanks for sticking with us!
From July 10th to July 17th, weâre celebrating our big July update with a Special Release Sale! The Adventures of Little Wurfel will be available at 50% off, so grab the game at a sweet discount while the wave lasts!
A major refinement to The Book of Aaru's parry system is already in place. It's now easier to learn and more rewarding to master, without taking away the thrill of timing a perfect deflection.
Stun and Invincibility on Successful ParryLanding a perfect parry no longer just stuns your opponent. It now also grants brief invincibility, preventing unfair moments where a second enemy punishes you during the animation, even though you timed the parry correctly.
50% Damage Reduction on Failed Parries
Even when your parry doesn't land perfectly, youâll still benefit from 50% reduced damage. That means players can experiment and improve their timing without suffering full punishment for every misstep.
Expanded Timing and Protection WindowThe core parry window remains tight and rewarding. It lasts 0.3 seconds, starting 0.1 seconds after you press the key. But in addition, a wider protective window activates the moment you press the button and lasts until 0.8 seconds after the parry ends. In practice, this means you're covered for a full 1.2 seconds, even if you donât hit the sweet spot.
Post-Parry InvincibilityTo make close-quarters combat feel fairer, a successful parry now grants 0.55 seconds of invincibility starting from the moment your block lands. This makes risky encounters feel more consistent and under your control.
