Pyrebound 0.2.5 (patch 5)


Pyrebound 0.2.5 gets its fifth patch, with another round of fixes and improvements to Pyres and the Crone of Blades encounter.

Changes & fixes

  • fixed Crone boss health bar not resetting correctly on subsequent attempts
  • fixed Crone phase 1 music not restarting correctly
  • fixed a Linux-specific crash involving HALO Pyre Embers (the floating globes)
  • improved Crone blade collision shapes
  • added scattered Crone blades to the entire level (to tease the eventual boss encounter)
  • updated build & upload tooling

Pyres

  • Pyres now show a subtle circle covering roughly 95% of their light radius. 
    • this should make positioning and range easier to judge
    • it might be cluttering the screen at this point but I can address that with an existing system to draw unified shapes that I just need to apply to this situation and test thoroughly for performanec
  • Pyres now apply an always-active debuff within their range, reducing enemy movement and causing them to receive more damage

Crone of Blades arena

The Crone arena has received another pass.

  • added a new path-based arena boundary system that now prevents the player from leaving the arena (with visual representation)
  • improved cleanup when either the player or Crone dies
  • starting the Crone intro now disables existing corpse-pile collisions so the player can no longer get stuck on them during the auto-pathing
