Henriquejr spotted Kickstarter update #73 for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem:

Work in progress: bows, new targeting system, overkill effect, bug fixes

Hello everyone !

For today's news I wanted to keep you updated on some features and additions to the game we're currently developing. First of all, hang tight...

BOWS!

You’ve been asking them for a while now, and here they finaly are! Bows will be implemented on the next update with new animations and combos. Unleash the fury of arrows on your foes and discover our fancy bow models. We have 6 models so far, but if the toy department make more, then there will be more of them ;)

NEW TARGETING SYSTEM

Hadrien/Nyhlus is working on a new targeting system that may be partially implemented in the next update. This should solve most of the targeting issues with various spells and weapons and improve considerably the gameplay comfort. Here are a few words from him to explain that feature:

Until now, the calculation of the trajectory for some spells could be imprecise or unpredictable. We use several different techniques, depending on the attack: physical projectiles, explosions, proximity calculation, raytracing and such.

Thus we decided to develop a simpler system in order to streamline spells handling and make the gameplay clean and predictable, without any surprise or mistake during target acquisition. On the other hand, the creation of such a system would allow us to see and debug in real time the calculations done by the spells during the targeting phase, how it behaves and what’s the issue when it doesn’t work.
