New Heroine Rumble2 patch! This patch features 1 new outfit, 1 new voice set, and a bunch of improvements to juice up the game.
New "Amazon" outfit set:
New voice set - "Bratty":
Camera shake and hit animation pause. Sample match shown above.
A whole bunch of graphical improvements including ReflectionProbes to improve indirect lighting, Color Grading options per scene for additional tweaks and shader changes to handle low smoothness material like clothing better.
This patch contains lots of features that benefits both HR2 and the upcoming game. This is on course with the current development plan: HR2 patch focus on shared improvements, modding and customization, while "HRT2" (the "Scuffed Dungeon" atm) releases will implement new mechanics to kick it off the ground. (This isn't news, just something I want to clarify since I got asked a couple of times)
