[p][/p][p]Great day to all! A new version of the game is now live. This update includes new customization options for your gameplay experience, balance changes, bug fixes, and graphical tweaks. Thanks to your valuable feedback, I managed to implement these important changes! Expect more updates coming soon.[/p][p]Here is a breakdown of what’s new:[/p]

⌨️ New PC Key Mapping Menu

• [p]Custom Controls: A new PC Key Mapping menu has been added, allowing you to customize your layout. Now you can assign your preferred keys so the controls adjust to you, and not the other way around![/p]
• [p]Note: Please test your new layout carefully to prevent multiple actions from triggering at the same time.[/p]

🛡️ Gameplay & Balancing

• [p]Tank "Guard Zone": Tanks now spawn a circular area around them known as the Guard Zone. When Rosamunde or the children enter this zone, their defense increases dramatically, making tactical positioning more important than ever.[/p]
• [p]Note: This Guard Zone is much smaller than the Sentinel Area of Effect, as it moves right alongside the child tanks, so keep that in mind![/p]
• [p]Status Effects: Enemies can now apply status effects to you, just like you can to them. I am currently working on new animations to improve the visual feedback for this system.[/p]

🎨 Graphics & Visual Clarity

• [p]Clutter Reduction: The colors and contrast of the game have been modified to make things much clearer on screen. Multiple visual effects have been toned down, optimized, or eliminated to reduce visual noise and improve clarity, all without sacrificing performance.[/p]

• [p]HUD Enhancements: The HUD has received several changes. Rosamunde’s main HUD has been simplified, and a new localized HUD has been placed right next to her character. This new display showcases her Life, Charge Points, and Shield Points, ensuring you don't have to constantly look at the edge of the screen to check them.[/p]

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Future Plans

• [p]General Fixes: Multiple minor bug fixes have been made to improve the overall game experience.[/p]

[p]Expect more improvements as development progresses, spanning gameplay, graphics, accessibility, and control options.[/p][p]Have a great weekend, everyone![/p]
