Hello everyone! Version 0.6 is finally out, and there is quite a lot of new exciting things to unpack. I thought it best to showcase all the major updates in a video:

Some key-things to look forward in the new version:

- Lock on has been improved to handle multiple enemies more smoothly
- Ladders are much more fluid to climb now, and you can sprint while climbing
- You can now upgrade weapons. There are several ores scattered around the existing and the new maps;
- Two new maps: Snailcliff and Cecily Town. The latter is under construction still, but will serve as the main hub of the game;
- New weapon: the iron longsword, alongside the ranger armor set!
- Enemies can use the shield more efficiently to block your hits, but they can be guard broken if hit too many times while under their shield. This opens them up for an attack on your part!
- Parrying an enemy successfully now gives you a small window of time to counter-attack, which gives you some bonus attack power on that specific R1/R2;
- Enemies can parry you now as well, altough you won't get stunned (since Cacildes doesn't have a posture bar, only poise which is a hidden mechanic)
- Illusionary walls added! Find many secrets hidden in the environment
- Travelling between bonfires is now possible.

Additionaly, there are now more options in the Options menu:

And last, but not least, the game now tracks certain analytics events using Unity Analytics. You can opt out of this data tracking at the beginning of the game by clicking on the left-bottom button here:

Collecting game data is helpful to understand how players are progressing through the various areas of the game, and to understand if they are picking up on some hidden items and finding secret bosses and so on.

For the curious, this is the current list of game events being tracked for v0.6. Spoilers ahead!
