Added LODs with selective bone reduction for all characters to improve performance.
Camera gain has been adjusted from 1.2 to 1.0, reducing color wash-out in brightly lit scenes but may cause the game to appear too dark for users that have lowered brightness settings.
Dead bodies no longer check for overlap with moving characters beyond a small radius to improve performance.
All physics use sub-stepping for better accuracy. This should reduce instances of interpenetration and ensure smoother movement.
Adjusted mass across all characters and physically reactive objects. This should result in less exaggerated (but still cool) interactions.
Fixed Terpsichore sometimes colliding with her weapons.
Fixed incorrect drop percentage displayed when a boss drops a guranteed item in the event all rolls for all items on the drop table fail.
Fixed sometimes getting multiple drops for a single kill.
Fixed Blue not triggering her ground slam animation after a Burst.
Changed Red dodge effect.
Changed Red ranged attack audio.
Changed Red melee attack effect.
Fixed enemy hit sparks being tied to the global time instead of being relative to the reference frame of the attacker. Hit sparks should no longer persist, stack, and blind players.
Fixed Ninjato Lotus Eaters sometimes not transitioning to run/walk animations when moving.
Fixed Red sometimes becoming stuck in her ready stance after a melee attack.
Increased splash damage range for Red melee attacks from 2 meters to 6 meters. Reduced splash damage consideration cone from 45 degrees to 30 degrees.
Optimized an expensive path in the aggro generation AI module to improve performance.
Optimized common enemy attack AI modules.
Common enemies will drop aggro if the player is too far away.
Damaged enemies will alert nearby enemies.
