Greetings Survivors!
We've been hard at work implementing some exciting changes and fixes to enhance your Last Whisper Survival experience. Here's a rundown of what's new in our latest demo update:
1. **Death Indicator**: Keep track of your remains with a skull icon and the distance in meters from your corpse when you perish. However, we're aware of a minor issue where the head doesn't disappear after looting the body. Rest assured, this will be rectified soon.
2. **Optimization Overhaul**: Enjoy a smoother gameplay experience with an increase of up to 30 FPS, depending on your graphics card. How did we achieve this improvement? Well, that's our little secret ;)
3. **Enhanced Security**: We've fortified our demo against potential theft, ensuring that your experience remains safe and secure.
4. **Combat Animations**: Engage in melee combat with style thanks to new animations that bring the fight to life.
5. **Tutorial Implementation**: Learn the ropes of survival with our new tutorial system. While it's simple, it's incredibly valuable for newcomers to grasp the essentials.
6. **Improved Zombie Movement**: Witness smoother and more realistic zombie movements, enhancing the overall gameplay immersion.
7. **Streamlined Loot Mechanics**: Say goodbye to building parts cluttering up your loot drops.
8. **Refined Hitboxes**: Looting just got easier with fixed hitboxes for smoother item collection.
9. **Ranged Combat Fixes**: Take down zombies from afar with improved accuracy and reliability in shooting mechanics.
10. **New Factory Environment**: Explore a new industrial setting complete with a challenging boss encounter. Dungeons have been temporarily removed until further improvements are made.
And what's on the horizon? Here's a sneak peek at what's coming next:
- **First-Person Perspective (FPP) Improvements**: Expect better animations and smoother transitions.
- **Sensitivity Options**: We're addressing your feedback by fine-tuning sensitivity settings for a more personalized experience.
- **Improved Item Mechanics**: Loot management is getting an upgrade with the option to loot all items at once.
- **Tool Combat**: Get ready to fend off threats using tools as weapons.
- **Enhanced Ladders**: Climbing will soon be a breeze with improved ladder mechanics.
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our survey. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to refine and polish Last Whisper Survival. Keep those ideas coming on Discord; we're always listening and eager to hear from you!
