Hecaton Update 0.4 is now live!

• New Playable Character: Sonja
  • Sonja is a Hunter/Trapper whose attacks benefit from planning and accuracy.  She is a ranged attacker capable of setting traps, throwing Glaives, and Vaulting out of danger.  She's a great contrast to Patriot's up-close and personal mobile melee style and promotes a more careful gameplay style.  And if all else fails, you can blow up half of the screen with her Energy Attack

• Added 2 new Maps
• Adjusted all existing Maps
• Adjusted Difficulty and Experience Curve
  • All maps are now larger than previously and less linear.  Fewer enemies also spawn, and Leveling Up now takes less Experience.  This creates a more exploratory experience in the beginning of the game, while slowly building up Action at around the 10 minute mark.

• Added 2 new enemies: Gun Turret and Rocket Turret
• Added 1 new boss: Deadbolt Gun Spire
  • Turrets were added where Pirates would spawn to help prevent a huge amount of Pirate from following you around like they did previously.  The boss is a variation of this new enemy type and is the hardest one added yet, so get ready to put your skills to the test.

• Some Keystone Icons have been altered
• Keystone size has been altered in the Equip Menu
  • This is a Quality of Life change to make Keystones easier to see and easier to distinguish.

• Primary Attacks has been altered
• Previously, Primary Attacks would have a longer attack animation but no cooldown.  Now, their animations are lower but they now have a slight cooldown.  This allows for movement between attacks and has less animation lock on the character for faster gameplay.
• Patriot's Overload now increases Armor by 50 during its duration
• I want Patriot to feel more powerful during his Overload Attack.  This gives about 30% more damage resistance during Overload, so it allows the player to be a bit more reckless and powerful during the attack's duration.

I hope you enjoy the new Update!  This one in particular took a lot of work to get together, and I really think it has improved many aspects of the game as a whole.

Until next time,
