Welcome to Alpha 4.9.5 - Update #38!

We’re inching closer and closer to V1.0, so we’re probably going to start getting more rapid with our updates in the lead up to our launch. It seems so close!

New enemy type: Skeleton King

The Skeleton King is our newest mini-boss! He wields a giant mace and spear, and is around the size of a troll, so he’s got a looooong reach and deals a lot of damage.

Audio

We’ve started work on our audio changes/additions and you’ll notice new stuff being added each build we ship from this one onwards.

Changed to VSync and Capped Framerates

In this update we’ve removed the “CAP FRAME RATE” button and have added better VSync support, now support the following states:

• No VSync ( FPS capped at 100fps )
• VSync every vblank ( 60 fps )
• VSync every second vblank ( 30 fps )

We also now show a FPS counter and a target FPS value on the settings screen above the VSync options.
