I planned for this to be more detailed but I have been aching even more to get this version out for all the quality of life improvements that have been done. You can see the change log below and I will write a better article up later.

Alpha 0.0.3.1 Change Log

Added

• Added Magic symbol and updated UI to have a little more detailing for it
• Added label for writing out how much health the player has left and what their max health is
• Added in 8-direction movement for the player
• Added an icon for the player attack cooldown
• Added Interaction Manger which helps fix the issue of having multiple items to pickup and walking away and then coming back to pick them up
• Added buttons to switch between weapons
• Added ability to interact with chests, opening and closing them (loot coming soon)
• Added ranged attacks, you can now pelt rats with rocks from a distance

Changed

• Changed how the transitions happen, using the interaction manager the transitions will now be objects in the world and not just part of the tilemap
• Changed attack action - depending on weapon selected (pending actually changing weapons) they will have a reach for melee. If outside of range you will not swing
• Changed player to face enemy they are attacking

Fixed

• Fixed events signals into the signal bus as well as global tracking of information eliminating redundant information storage that might cause future bugs
• Player health UI wasn’t updating properly, rewrote and it should now be updating properly
• Fixed a bug where pressing on something from the tilemap would cause a crash if you were in attack range
• Rat tails were at 50% normal size. They have been resized to make them fit better with the rest of the environment
