Project Downfall 0.9.29.1 is live

Greetings Crimson Community,

Haven't made an announcement dedicated to a smaller update in a long time, but this one is so chock full of good stuff that it deserves the recognition.



First off: Thanks so much for the incoming feedback! One of the reasons we managed to get so much done was the amazing amount of reports and feedback over the last week since the 29th update went live. You all ROCK! We got one more smaller update planned and estimated to go live next week. So please keep the feedback, gameplays and impressions coming!

Now on to what's new:

-Large update to the Self Defence 101 map. You can now summon some crash test dummies (aggro and non aggro version) to practice the basic combat skills before heading out to earn the moniker of the Crimson Reaper. And downstairs a few examples to test out enviro kills. More stuff will be added here in time.

-Dynamic input hints added for the initial maps fo the game. Not using pills/dying too often most likely means not using the medication, superkick and/or throws accordingly so a friednly reminder will pop up once a death threshold has been reached. We see a lot of new players struggling with the game mechanics and not using them to the full potential. we hope this and the updated 101 SD minigame will help out with that as well.

-Besides a plethora of map updates this one deserves a special mention: It's Personal 1st stage got a significant update. Texture reworks, new destructibles, reworked lighting, props and details, polish, updated difficulties and quite a bit more. Thanks to Sinth for pointing out the need to give this map a breath of fresh air!
