(Future Fragments) Quick update to WREN fight
Added 2019-11-04 06:13:37 +0000 UTCAfter a lot of deliberation, we've decided we're going to be removing the instakill punishment on the WREN fight.
I'll have more news on what we're going to do with it when we come back to it later on, but we decided it'd be best for gameplay balance after a lot of playtesting and hearing more feedback over time; nothing else will be getting changed on the fight, though.
For now though, we're moving on to the True Final Boss fight, per the schedule in https://pastebin.com/MaJRtQ3E

Don't worry; we plan on keeping a punishiment there that does high damage, but that doesn't 100-0 end you even if you get crushed by even just 1 pixel like before. The main reason we disliked it was the extreme punishment for even the tiniest error, which doesn't feel like you deserved the failure, versus the first phase where if you failed, it felt like it was your fault fairly etc.

2019-11-04 21:08:50 +0000 UTCId also vote in favor of keep the punishment for the high difficulty setting, honestly it's easier to die from Wren's barrage of attacks than from being crushed after a while
