So you might have seen the other news post about the beta branch, I did some more work on it and think it is ready to be released into the wild. Hopefully these changes result in a bit more challenging but fair game. Changelog Reworked monster melee punching system. Improved readability of torch platforms against the moon boss. Balanced monster limb to monster main body damage propagation. Lowered damage increase on further difficulties. Lowered final boss hp on further difficulties. Lowered laser beam fliers hp. Reworked aoe damage abilities to do less damage to the monster main body. Improved readability of monster spiderweb projectile. Moon boss hp should end up behind the death screen now. Lowered amount of spikes on the hedgehog monster. Moon boss platforms {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38049580/14f18e801f0abcabf2524a2ddfbf9b089c33cce8.png This is a balance patch but I also spent a bit of time reworking the melee system for monsters. I made them pretty weak at one point because they had a habit of lifting off like a rocket sometimes. The solution was to basically stop the monster in its track for one frame before it performs the next attack. This allowed me to boost up the attack velocity by a lot without breaking the game or monster. So this should result in more intense monster fights. Obligatory next game Link https://store.steampowered.com/app/864170/Midnight_Horde/ Thank you for playing and let me know if you find broken things in the patch. Cheers PerBalance patch in the Beta BranchJul 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! So I have done some balance work and tweaks based on feedback in the reviews. Mostly adressing early game cheese with some aoe weapons and nightmare difficulty boss hp. This patch is not live in the main branch but exist in the patchtesting branch. The main part is that I have nerfed and reworked how much damage dealt to a limb is propegated back to the main body of the monster. Hopefully this will mean that it is harder to cheese monsters, but also that it will result in more body parts being blown off and a bit more challenging early on. On top of this I have removed the damage propagation on some aoe weapons that dealt low damage per attack but ended up being a bit too OP when you hit all of the different body parts at the same time. Though I did not nerf this on bosses and elite (big ones) because that would make the game too hard. I have lowered the hp and damage scaling in the two other difficulties and balanced the final boss HP for those difficulties. I have also lowered the HP of flying beam monsters. One big monster buff, is that I have increased the velocity and force of monster punches, this might break the monster in some cases if I have over done it. So please help me test it to find out if I need to dail it back. But I do think they are more fun to fight with these force values! To test it out, join the patchtesting branch with this password "iwouldliketobeatester" in the properties -> beta section. Please give me feedback in this thread if you find broken things or if you simply like the update. Also check out and wishlist Midnight Horde. https://store.steampowered.com/app/864170/Midnight_Horde/ That is all, Cheers PerHotfixes and smaller changesFeb 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsYou no longer need to beat a difficulty to access the difficulty altar and all difficulties.
