PROGRESS

We’ve continued making improvements to the Combat Arena Alpha. As always, you can find the details in our Patch Notes, but here’s a summary of the big stuff:
- We added passive abilities for Kodoki and Mechid!
- We fixed issues with Spore Dance and Fire Spin inconsistently causing too much or too little damage.
- Attacks now reliably are cancelled at the end of a round. We also fixed problems with aiming attacks incorrectly displaying their reticles after the Kinfolk that spawned the attack had swapped out or died.
- We fixed an issue with a Kinfolk not dying correctly if it was being healed by Angelic Ray.
- We’ve made some adjustments to buffs!
- We added collision VFX for melee attacks.
Single Player campaign
- The foundation for our NPC code is complete. Up next is to build out our behavior-based AI. It’s going to be a huge step in making the world of Kindred Fates feel like it’s alive, and we’re really excited to move forward!
- Mission logic has come an insanely long way recently! We can now start and finish missions, and UI will be on the way soon.
- We added a few new attacks specific to the single player version ;) We have some interesting new things in the works that have been a new challenge for the developers.
Misc.
- We’ve fixed a few issues with stability in the website’s account system.
- Our team has added a new UI designer and PR assistant! We’re really excited to be working with them and they’ve already made some wonderful contributions!
