Patch 0.1.2b — Combat Hotfix
A follow-up hotfix to 0.1.2 addressing combat issues reported after release.
Fixed
- Fixed character rotating away from the target when attacking rapidly.
- Fixed movement input influencing character facing during an attack.
- Fixed dual-wield main hand and off hand hitboxes triggering simultaneously — each weapon now has independent timing.
- Fixed inventory scroll container conflicting with item dragging on touch devices.
Patch 0.1.2 — Combat Update
A focused combat patch addressing feedback from testers. Attacks are snappier, more reliable, and feel better to chain together.
Combat
- Attacks now chain more smoothly — timing is driven by actual animation frames instead of fixed estimates.
- Fixed hitbox staying active after an attack, causing unintended hits while walking near enemies.
- Fixed swings occasionally not registering a hit.
- Player now tracks and stays connected to their target during a swing instead of sliding past them.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where opening the character sheet would permanently block attacking for the rest of the session.
- Fixed a bug where entering a game session with the character sheet open would block all attacks.

Patch 0.1.0 — The Real Game Begins
Thank you to everyone who played the MVP. Your feedback, bug reports, and patience directly shaped this patch.
Patch 0.1.0 is a near-complete overhaul — accounts, persistence, dynamic quizzes, abilities, loot, the shop, and much more. This is the first version that feels like the game we set out to build.
New
- Account System — Create an account in-game or on the website. Log in with your username or email.
- Guest Mode — Play without an account. Progress doesn't carry over but no sign-up required.
- Guest-to-Account Transfer — Register mid-session and your gear and gold carry over automatically.
- Character Customization — Personalize your hero's appearance, name, and class when creating your account. Players can create up to 5 characters per account. Your look carries across every session.
- The Barracks — The lobby area now has a name. Players start here before entering a session and can equip gear, practice combat on training dummies, and prepare before the next run.
- The Shop — Spend gold earned in sessions on armor, weapons, and accessories from the lobby merchant.
- Inventory & Equipment System — Full drag and drop inventory with equipment slots (Head, Chest, Weapon, Off-hand, Back, Accessory). Equipment persists between sessions.
- World Objective — Avalon Highlands — Defeat 400 undead enemies before the session timer runs out.
- Session End Screen — Celebrate or fail screen with animated reward chests based on quiz accuracy.

- Click to Attack — Click directly on an enemy to auto-move into range and begin attacking.

Quiz System
- Teacher Quiz Banks — Teachers build custom quiz questions on the website. Students select the quiz bank themselves from the session starter before entering. Note: Teacher-hosted sessions (where the teacher starts the session and students join directly) are planned for a future patch.
- Quiz Accuracy Loot System — Your accuracy at the end of a session determines what loot you earn:
- 100% — Legendary & Chroma pool unlocked
- 90–99% — Epic & Rare armor + weapon chests
- 80–89% — Uncommon armor chest
- 70–79% — Common armor chest
- Below 70% — Gold only
