New Demo Version - v0.8.0.2

Update #8 · Oct 14, 2012 · 1 comment

Hello, Sages!

We've got a new demo for you with improved AI!  Download it here.

Demo version 0.8.0.2 Patch notes (10-14-2012):

  • Enhanced AI - The AI will respond better to non-projectile damage sources like lasers, melee abilities, and cone-based abilities.
  • New Equipment - Dozens of new mods added for increased customization.
  • Sonar - Outlines the exact collision of objects for improved clarity. This feature can be activated in the "Video" tab of the Options Menu.
  • Difficulty Adjustment - Tweaked the difficulties of the various game modes.

We've also included a video for you of the AI dueling itself!

We'll keep improving the AI so that the Dominus Mode will make for more compelling fights!

Until next time!

- Enrique

      Just played the demo for the first time. I am thoroughly impressed. Controls are perfect, music is great, and the story engaging. Can't wait for the full thing. You have gained my pledge.
