Changelog:

dev4/1.0:

• Combat system is now less stupid
  • Unblockable red attacks now can be deflected.
  • Enemies now cannot block/deflect during recovery frames.
  • Player now has a revamped moveset (pending)
  • Enemies now attack one by one instead of ganging up on the player
• New multi-stage fight: Forest of the Damned
• Minor audio and visual improvements
• Reworked how camera works
  • Added a camera shake slider to settings menu

dev2/1.3:

• New fight: Spirits of the Forest; not a "real" fight, more of a proof of concept of multiple enemy encounters. Reasonably happy with that!
• Drastically expanded moveset. Check pause menu for details.
  • Damaging thrust attack
  • Kick attack for creating space
  • And more!

dev2/1.2c:

• Mother now has significantly less unblockable attacks
• Added new difficulty option: Automatic Deflects. Enabling it will make deflects, well, automatic.

dev2/1.2b:

• Fixed DotE spear hitbox. Ugh.

dev2/1.2a:

• Fixed a bug with Dragon of the East continuing to attack while player is down
• Fixed a bug with DotE's shove attack not being interrupted on parry
• Slightly increased Posture damage dealt on deflecting DotE's attacks

dev2/1.2:

• New boss: Dragon of the East (WIP, some animations are janky and look like ass)
• Parry now doesn't restore health; instead it deals 15% of the maximum Posture damage
• Only first attack in combo can parry now to prevent accidental parries on spam
• Attacks deal less Posture damage across the board on hit (block and deflect damage is unchanged)
• Reworked dodge system from scratch; removed the whole weird "neutral dodge" mechanic
• Fixed a bug with posture damage taken when your attacks are deflected being too high
