  The dungeon also contains a "new" Halloween outfit, can you find all the pieces? ps. The Halloween set was supposed to show up just on this patch, but we were veeeeery smart and forgot to remove the chest from the test area in Nemesis' garden. So Pretend you've never seen it!
  

  

• Assigned "Dark Ascending Power" to Kalyskah upon completing the New Dungeon. This will allow you to hover!

• Some minor animation glitches will occur in the new dungeon and will be addressed in a future patch. Along with improvements to the body language of the goblins and stability during transitions between checkpoints.

[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.25.7

• Fixed the issue that caused game settings not to be saved. This was a massive task because we had to rewrite the whole code on how our graphics settings work. We haven't tested with machines that have many different resolutions yet so please let us know if there are still things to iron out.
• Fixed the issue that was disabling skills
• Fixed how skills are assigned after you purchase them
• Fixed crash while trying to open the Character Maker
• Fixed Kalyskah not resetting her behaviour after ending dialogue with bandits (although I think you didn't get to see this issue because the bandits don't trigger an approach dialogue in the Garden of Delights)
• Fixed quests in the Garden of Delights being added repeatedly
• Fixed gradient at the bottom of the screen not showing when there were subtitles to be seen (that was making the readability harder than it was ever supposed to be)

• General enhancements flow improvements in the flow of pause menus, preventing it from triggering when it shouldn't.
• Reduced the damage of projectiles so they are not as deadly as they were before
• Improved the VFX of the bloodshot spell
• Refactoring some behaviours inside Kalyskah's blueprint
• Tweaks on Michael's cutscene
• Tweaked the events in the dialogue with Heather, the options that can make Kalyskah nasty to her will now reduce her compassion. Also, the whole conversation about Heather forgetting how to breathe only triggers the first time you talk to her.

• First pass on implementing Henrysson's dialogue at the Garden of Delights into the game. We are still fixing the triggers and animations.

[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.25.1

• EDIT: After we updated the demo we noticed a list of issues passed through our QA. We are working on addressing the more urgent issues and we'll release a new patch on the weekend. About the crash people are experiencing, we are collecting logs and on Monday we will debug and find a way to fix it.
•  This is our first proper release in Unreal 5, and now that we unlocked this door, you can expect several new updates in the following weeks as we press forward to try and get the game in the best possible shape so on the last week of this month, we can release an SFW demo on steam.
• Optimization is the type of job that we'll be always doing in the background, and you can expect more improvements in the future as we collect feedback and rework more of the base code, but this patch marks a major milestone towards that goal. Notice that now we have things such as Raytracing and Lumen, so at the same time that the game will run better if you lower your graphic settings, there are options now that can bring the visuals even further than before, and that video cards incompatible with the raytracing technology might struggle. So make sure to take a look at the game settings and tailor the game to what your machine can run.
• We made many improvements to the quality of life. The vampiric vision has never looked as good (although we are still going to bring back the outline of enemies and chests). The loot scattered across the dungeon will now be more varied since we added different layers for the Karnstein Legion armour and as time goes on, we'll be working on new cutscenes between Kalyskah and her former soldiers. So the storytelling, once this is put together with the prologue, might break your heart as much as it's breaking Kalyskah's. These cutscenes and details will be added during the coming weeks and be worked in parallel with the content of the prologue.
