Evasive Maneuvers
Many players have asked about this or suggested it for a long time now. We were always on the fence, but we decided to try it out, and were surprised by how great it felt. Being able to dodge out of an invader or elite attack or avoid a boss attack just feels really nice and also plays into our theme and direction a bit more, especially as we move closer to v0.7 of the game. We're finishing up the evasive animations this week, so in the next content update build we will be adding in a dodge roll / dash to the game (each character performs their own move).
We will have a breakdown with full details in the next content update, so stay posted for more details.
Boss Changes
Bloodsap, the current final boss of Linden Forest, will soon be removed from the game, but only temporarily. We will be replacing him with a new boss, Sporelord Rotwood.
The reason we are doing this is because Bloodsap poses a greater challenge for a lot of new players than other bosses. He has more mechanics and is trickier to figure out, so we feel that Sporelord Rotwood is a little easier to learn and would make a better end boss as this is the first level of the game.
This is not to say Bloodsap will be going away. In version 0.7 he will make his return, but we will not spoil how. We don't want to spoil the evolution of the game and all the new content that is to come.
Sporelord Rotwood is a super fun boss fight, and we look forward to seeing how players tackle him. We'll be adding a new Achievement for defeating Sporelord Rotwood when we release the update that contains him (most likely the dodge roll/evasive update).
