[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.17.0

Hello everyone, Corintio here!

Today we are bringing you an intermediary patch of the month. We plan to have a new one before the month's end, where we'll add a new short quest among other cool things. But we felt the need to release an intermediary patch for you to give us some feedback on our checkpoint system. There's still some polishment needed on the animations, but we hope you like it! =D

Changelog - Version 0.17.0

Fixes

• Fixed health and stamina UI when the player changes a piece of equipment that changes their attribute;
• Improved the performance of the ui_game slightly by removing some value bindings;
• Fixed the lights on the first area of the Temple (Dungeon) that had extremely bright rocks.

Enhancements

• Progress on the snowy environment (For now the player can only see it from a distance since the area isn’t reachable yet);
• Collision blockers that force the player to kind of have a path on that starting ruin from the open world will now be destroyed after the player finds James;
• Added lights on the slums;
• Improved Luna’s clothes (based on Loretta’s) and added elven pointy ears to her (Luna will also be part of the next quest!).

Features

• Loretta has new clothes!
• Players can now travel from Thulgatha back to Karnstein Temple;
• Checkpoint and coffin system implemented. Kalyskah will recover 10% of her max health for every hour she sleeps in a coffin, she can fast travel between discovered coffins and when she’s defeated, now she’ll respawn on the last coffin or checkpoint (The autosave ones) she interacted with instead of where she last was when the player saved the game;
• New NPCs added the world, Gareth and Edith. They are not unique ones but they will be on the next quest we are working on!

Known Issues:

• When travelling between maps, Kalyskah will be standing on top of a coffin for a second before the animation actually starts;
• There's some mesh clipping on the knees of Loretta's dress;
• Kalyskah will repeat the sentences she says at the dungeon when you go back there;
• The icon of one of the checkpoints is missing, I think it's for one of the checkpoints you can find in the woods but we'll fix it before the next patch.
