This updated focused a lot on getting the controls worked out, specifically for game controllers. Now it has more of a Gears of War feel with the button layout. By default now you can run by holding the lower gamepad button (A button on an Xbox controller) and roll by tapping it. The jump button has been moved to the left bumper.
I felt this feels better and allows for smoother gameplay.
Other changes:
-The aim sensitivity adjusts when you aim weapons. This really helps for those using controllers. -The old farmer that races the horse was bugged (surprised nobody said anything). He was evil for some reason and would try to kill the player the first time you entered the map. This has been fixed. -Sun rotation and shadows were bugging out when map traveled. -Added some more uses for TNT, there are some rocks you can blow up and get treasures. -Tonic stacks now
Happy hunting! DangerousBob

Patch v0.4.5 Audio controls added
Hello everyone,
Changes for this update include the following:
-Full Audio Settings. You can now adjust Master, FX, and Music audio levels.
-I feel the lighting in the Black Forest is weak, and I have been working on improving that.
-There is an issue with the player's guns disappearing. I am working on fixing that. It should be better now but more testing will be needed.
-If you kill Sam now in Dairy, the alarm goes off.
These are just a few small changes as I work on polishing the game.
As always, happy hunting! DangerousBob
Patch V0.44 tweaking horde mode and textures
Hello,
This patch addresses a few small changes the community suggested.
There was a bug with the sniper crossbow where you could hold the zoom while switching to your sidearm. That is fixed.
The Horde mode has had a lot of tweaking. The Alpha Vampires now have a cap on how many can spawn.
Basically how the Horde mode works is every 100 seconds the enemies start to get harder.
Enemies are selected at random, the Alpha has a one out of ten chance of spawning, but now if one is already spawned a timer is put in to give some buffer before a second one is spawned.
The Ghouls with TNT have longer timers on Horde mode now. Before they would blow up too early.
Some of the 4k textures have been lowered to 2k to help with texture streaming causing lag. These are mostly small things that you wouldn't notice anyway, planks of wood, that kind of stuff.
The water makes a noise now when the player walks through it.
That is about all for now!

Horde Mode Active
Hello everyone,
The Horde mode is now active.
When you beat the game, you get access to a fun horde map in the main menu.
The leaderboard is available for the longest time and there is an achievement for staying alive for 15 minutes!
Patch V0.43 Bug Fixes, Horse Trots
Hello!
Just a small update here.
I fixed some issues with the item shop when using a controller. Some of the items were not mapped correctly, such as buying a revolver would buy a rifle.
Using the Scope on the Crossbow turns the weapon into its own weapon. Meaning you then can have a scoped crossbow and non scoped crossbow.
Also adjusted the running on the horse. You can now toggle the run mode, to save your fingers some trouble.
Patch V0.42 Working on optimization, cleaning up UI.
Hello everyone!
For this patch, I worked on some needed optimization.
Some notes on the graphics settings, if you are clocking low FPS try the resolution slider, that is going to get you better results than actually lower the other settings.
The shop UI has been overhalled.
A much-requested mini map has been added to the game. You can toggle it with "M".
Bug fixes: -Bug where if a Vampire grabbed you, the text to break free would stay on screen.
Other: -You can only sell items in your inventory now. So if you have a gun on your person you have to put it in your inventory to sell it.
That is all for now,
Happy Hunting,
-DangerousBob

A few small tweaks via community feedback.
-You can now switch weapons much faster.
-Fixed a bug where the ammo counter wasn't doing correct math on the number of rounds subtracting from the clip.
-The water simulation was dragging down FPS, that should be a bit better now.
-Flame arrows can catch the environment on fire now
-Fixed a bug where the Holy Water was not saving on level transitions
-You can throw axes or holy water bottles to make noise distractions for the Delta Vampire
