- Update Notes for 0.9.5e - Engine Upgrade, and More! - 26 October 2023
Epocria has been updated from Unity 2019 all the way to Unity 2022. This gives us access to some newer features (which have been used in this update), but could also cause bugs, so if you notice any new bugs please report them! Upgraded from Unity 2019.4.15f1 to Unity 2022.3.11f1 UI Button 'hitboxes' have been fixed. This was a long standing bug where the game would think you pressed the wrong button Chunk initialization has been redone. (This could cause some issues so please let me know if any occur). It should optimize some stuff as well as fix some stuff. Ground now uses the Unity tileset, should add a bunch of optimization Wraith can no longer go through objects Spectre can now go through objects Fire Flower added, spawns in deserts. Gives 5+ health as an accessory, stacks up to 3 for +15 health. Cave Crates added, spawn in caves and drop potions! A useful and easy way to avoid cra…
- Update Notes for 0.9.5d - Dashing, Swords, & More - 16 October 2023
Although this update is a small version number change (0.9.5c -> 0.9.5d) it has a bunch of features included as well as bug fixes! Dash Ability Player dashing has been added to quickly get out of danger. As long as you have an item (or effect) that gives you the dash ability you'll be able to dash. The momentum potion has been made to also give you the ability to dash while active Hermes Cloak has been added. 5% speed boost, however, it gives you the ability to dash while equipped. Hermes Cloak drops rarely from bats (happy grinding!) Sword Balancing Swords have been completely rebalanced and sped up! Swords now only hit a creature once each swing leading to stronger swords in the way the game damages the target, so don't be fooled by lower damage amounts, in some cases they may be stronger! All the balance details are below, please let me know if I ruined the weapons and need to do mor…
- Update Notes For 0.9.5c - 18 October 2022
Development on Epocria has been slow as of late, however, development should start to accelerate once again, starting with this update. I have started planning out Release 1.0's features, and the features required to get us there. If you want to stay updated regularly I highly recommend you join the Discord as I post sneak peeks and short blurbs of text quite often. Watchful Eye Turret that can be placed. Dropped from defeating The Lich. In a future update it will be craftable into a mobile summon. Unlike the mana turret it doesn't require mana! Minor Ice Chest no longer drops the Cactus Chest upon breaking Lich Staff requires a bit more mana/does a bit less damage Red tint reduced during nightmare events Entity picking up fixed Block structure placing blocked in the lich zone

- Update Notes for 0.9.4 - 21 August 2021
Info This update includes some major changes/optimizations to how worlds are loaded/saved, old worlds will automatically get updated to this format when you try opening them for the first time. (An automatic backup file will be made just in case). With these changes I managed to get a fairly big world from 40-50 FPS to 300 FPS on my hardware (Ryzen 7 1700/GTX 1060). Major - Holding Shift when mining will force target floors only - Updated world saving/loading format - Optimized how chunks get disabled/unloaded/enabled. - Worlds will get backed up when going to the new format. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs/issues with this update. Since release the focus has been bugs/optimization but soon I will be changing the focus to some new features.
- Update Notes for 0.9.3d - 19 August 2021
Was informed that 0.9.3c was causing a bunch of CPU/GPU/Memory issues mainly in the main menu, reverted some changes and hopefully it should be fixed, let me know if it is all good now. For the next patch I will be optimizing how worlds are saved/loaded via a new format, old worlds will be automatically updated to the new version. This will increase world performance and load times since less objects will be loaded at once.
- Update Notes for 0.9.3c - 19 August 2021
Been working on a dynamic building system, but since it isn't ready I have decided to push an update including a few bug fixes/optimizations.

Optimized physics checks for interdiction structures. (May make them slightly less accurate, let me know if they create any issues)

Players in caves will now respawn at ladders (when available) instead of obelisks. Increased Speeder knockback. Minor Interdiction torch/lamp sprite fixes Bug fix where a chunk will generate on top of an existing chunk Fixed how inventories count their items, this should fix infinite crafting bugs/the inability to craft some items. Please let me know if this causes any noticeable lag when opening/closing your inventory or if these bugs still persist.
