August 21 2024 addendum - tutorial arrows


I observed another funny player behavior today that I couldn't explain. According to the server logs the player picked up the cannon and then never used it, and kept melee attacking walls trying to escape to the surface. I've added animated tutorial arrows for the tutorial, starter, and worm zones indicating directions to go. If players continue to get stuck at this point I'm pretty much at a loss on how to further help.

This update also includes some bugfixes relating to zone transfers and NPCs spawning-in with equipment pre loaded. And, this update included a revision to the attack colliders for pods making them larger and behave a bit more how players might expect them. This means you can no longer just sit directly above/below an enemy pod and deal damage to it without moving, and it also means enemy pods hit you a bit harder than they did before. Good luck!

I finally have art assets for swords, rockets, and photon cannons. So those will be next to be implemented.
