Steelbreakers Update v0.2.0 - Quality of Life Changes, Bugfixes, Balancing


After some additional playtesting, I’ve pushed a new build for the Steelbreakers demo (v0.2.0) that should address some bugs and improve some of the game experience. Check out the patch notes below:

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issue where on the Relic mode, if any players had low health (to the point you would hear a low-hp chirp SFX) and a player was holding the relic, the chirp sound effect would play every frame.
  • Adjusted dodgeroll while on movement-affecting terrain so that it would not affect the velocity.
  • Fixed issue where a liftable item that was destroyed as a player was lifting it would still cause the player to enter a lifting state.
  • Fixed issue where players lifting items above their head would not properly have their movement speed adjusted based on the item weight.

Quality of Life changes

  • Added icon indicators on Main Menu and Character Select to show which input devices are connected and recognized.
  • Added ability to map keyboard inputs to the numpad.
  • Added directional buffer when mashing attack buttons so that players are not stuck attacking in a single direction when buffering additional attacks.
  • Reduced amount of noise generated by various clash effects.
    • There is a known issue with some clash sound effects still being noisy that will be addressed in the future.
  • Footstep volume has been decreased since it causes a lot of noise with multiple players.
  • Reduced the maximum screen shake since it was pretty harsh and could disorient players.
  • Raised default time for Relic mode and increased time select cap to 30 seconds from 10.

Balancing

  • Increased hammer damage from 3 to 4.

Misc

  • Removed Keyboard 2. This is most likely to not work as intended on most available keyboards and introduces issues with keymapping. Please have additional players use a controller instead.
