Patch notes

This version includes what would have been 0.1.58 — it did not ship on its own.

What's new

• In Vharan, the Waystone moved out from behind the campfire and now sits near the torch.
• The bomb orc got a new throw animation.
• On the Acts map M, flags I to V sit on the trail.
• The Tithe watchtower got a new top.
• The Pinnacle tower got a new elevator: a shorter scene, with the hero stepping in and out of the cabin.
• On New Character, “First Steps” sits below the Spirit Bear.

Fixes

• On the Wailing Tree, only the canopy turns transparent when you walk behind it; the prayer ribbons no longer flicker.
• The Orc Archer no longer jumps when attacking and backs off to open distance before shooting.
• In the tutorial and Whispering Woods, vegetation no longer vanishes out of nowhere.
• Osric shows up on every graphics quality.
• The Tithe watchtower no longer flickers.
• The New Character screen no longer has overlapping text.

What's new

• When creating a character you can turn on Hardcore (off by default). If it dies, it dies for good: no checkpoint and no revive. On the selection screen it shows as Dead; the death is saved instantly. Existing characters stay normal. There is no special reward yet.
• New enemy: the Orc Archer, in Whispering Woods and the orc cave.
• The orc cave is more crowded and now has traps.
• The Drowned Bellringer in the Marsh also attacks from range.
• Items reworked: bases with fixed bonuses, Normal / Magic / Rare / Unique rarities, ten new Uniques and the Ancestral grade from level 20. Old green pieces without a matching Unique become Ancestral Rares.

Fixes

• Boss speeches no longer freeze time.
• Orc hit sounds now match the damage.
• The bomb orc no longer lies down when throwing.
• The Wild Fury bear follows the Druid's speed.
• Cave river and waterfall are back inside the basin.
• The Bell Crypt shows on the map M (before, the Marsh bell showed instead).
• Map TAB line transparency works again.
• Fixed the duplicated bonus on Aurora items.

The Collector speaks now. The Bellringer, the Watcher, the Bearer, the Gardener, the Standard-Bearer, the Jailer and Morvath also gained voices. Tomás, in the finger scene, and the Forest boss’s growl were re-recorded.

Death opens a new screen: the painting of the dissolving figure, in place of the old window.

The Tithe Ark opens on a new screen: the chest from above and from the side, the treasure in 3D, real coins thrown into the lock, and buttons of the same size. On the first ark, the Collector explains the tithe once and does not return.

Fixed: Discord now shows when you are playing Dark Memory.
