Release Notes for Spark in the Dark

Patch 0.3.15.1

• Adjusted the death penalty in Seeker Mode. On Hard difficulty, up to two items can be damaged; on Normal, one item; on Easy, equipment is no longer damaged after death.
• Hunter experience is now awarded when a trap is triggered and deals damage, not only when a creature dies.
• Legendary weapon generation now depends on the hero’s preferred skill — one-handed or two-handed weapons.
• Weapon switching now generates noise within a small radius. The effect depends on the hero’s skill, armor type, and whether the hero is in stealth.
• Switching weapons while in stealth no longer breaks stealth.
• Added finishing moves with bare fists.
• Improved lock interaction for the Thief — the lockpicking window now displays the correct key name if one can be used.
• Improved item throwing, including coins — items are now thrown within the hero’s forward hemisphere.
• Reduced the weight of bandages.
• Optimized the game’s sound system, improving performance and reducing RAM usage.
• Fixed a possible hero freeze when switching between a crossbow and another weapon.
• Fixed a possible issue when changing Vertical Sync and FPS Limit settings.
• Fixed a hero freeze issue when interrupting drinking.
• Fixed loading of stationary light sources — some lamps could fail to turn on after loading a save.
• Adjusted secret area tracking on the 2nd and 3rd layers. Some passages are no longer considered secret, since they function as map shortcuts (applies to newly generated layers).
• Adjusted attack sounds for the flying creature.
• Increased the Bloodguzzler hitbox, making it easier to hit.
• Improved the appearance of Kort statues and updated textures for several mechanisms.
• Various minor fixes, stability improvements, and gameplay adjustments.
