[edit] Features which are not issues

• Preview version has limitations - no prologue, missing item descriptions and some speech, game ends at pillars (you can still continue to play after credits)
• In prologue scene, kain is not allowed to attack (because he say "and so i left")

[edit] Done for v0.11

[edit] New features

• Support for Xbox 360 Game controller
• Improved run mode: new "Run" button (SHIFT in PC version), "Use magic" is now ENTER (this also fixes issues of multiple SHIFT press causign windows button control menu to appear). Sample video:[1]
• Improved wolf form jumping: added visible tracelines allowing precise travelling through obstacles, run mode handles new "aim then jump" mode. Sample video: [2]
• Added camera offset (like in original game), now controlled by mouse or right gamepad stick
• Build-in addon manager (allow to activate/deactivate mods)
• Distinct chronicles addon by Mean_Person included
• SoulReaver 2 pillars addon by Raina Audron included

[edit] Game fixes

• Kain speed improved by 12% (to match original game)
• Fixed minimap bound & camera rotation (new frustum-based min/max bounds system introduced)
• Fixed local map (f6) remember button states and does move when reactivated ( [3] )
• Classic Blood Omen cheat now work (refill health, refill energy, view dark diary) as here: [4]
• All cheats now work in regular game build (in v0.1 they oly work in developer build)
• Fixed bugs with movement and attack keys being sticked on level transition (so kain will not go up once act2 cutscene video is finished)
• Fixed exitzone being activated when player spawned in it (only in low framerates, causing automatic level exit on map load)
• First startup: fixed resolution select on first star (now only matches a standart PC/HD/4K modes, weird resolution for multi-monitor are rejected now)
• Start fade fix (fix rare bug of screen not having fade from black on map start)
• Player angle changes are now FPS-independent (fixed kain rotating too slow in low FPS)
• Rebalanced enemies running (most of enemies now runs faster)

[edit] Other fixes

• Hush music_tracklist debug prints
• Map editor: fix wrong bloodmap path (used for ASE conversion)
• Fixed speech not being precached during level load (causing loading hang)
• "Run-mode" footstep and weapon slash sounds now alert enemies
• Not-running footstep sounds now have only 30% of volume
• Apply axial 45-degree restriction for player movement as sprites only have 8 fixed angles (for gamepad support)
• Fix entity culling issues (fire effects not being spawned at level start)
• Key names are now translatable (added new section to menu.nsx)
• New controls/gamepad/extended menu (joystick system settings + joystick buttons/axes debugging)
• Fixed back links in menu (now focuses on proper item)
• Fixed game crash on dynamic entities load
• Changed PC movement binding: shift now activates "run", enter -> use.
• Slightly better textures
