Welcome to the latest major update for Bread & Blood! This release introduces a complete visual overhaul with a borderless draggable UI, deepens the survival mechanics with blood and weight systems, and adds immersive audio cues.
UI & Visual Overhauls
- Borderless Floating UI: Completely redesigned the tracker bars. Removed the old backdrops in favor of sleek, borderless floating bars with custom textures.
- Draggable Interface: The tracker frame is now fully draggable and saves its position automatically for each individual character.
- Dynamic Visibility: Added an "Always Show Bars" option. By default, the bars now cleanly fade out when stats are above 85% and seamlessly reappear when hovered or when stats drop below the threshold.
New Mechanics & Survival Systems
- The Blood & Wound System: Introduced a brand new Blood stat. Taking sudden massive damage now causes bleeding and wounds. Blood drops steadily while wounded and requires a bandage or a long rest to stop.
- Heavy Load Penalty: Running while your inventory bags are heavily loaded (over 90% full) will now exhaust your character and rapidly drain your fatigue.
- Environmental & Combat Effort: Added dynamic penalties based on zone weather (hot/cold zones) and active combat or movement effort.
- Swimming Exhaustion: Swimming now actively drains your fatigue twice as fast as normal movement.
Audio & Immersion
- Custom Sound Effects: Integrated custom warning sounds (
hunger.wav,thirst.wav,fatigue.wav) to organically notify you before your status becomes critical. - Wound Alerts: Added a dedicated
wound.wavsound effect and a red pulsing screen overlay (LowHealth texture) to visually emphasize critical blood loss.
Advanced Configuration Panel
- Customizable UI Penalties: You can now map specific stats (Hunger, Thirst, Fatigue) to penalize your user interface. For example, extreme fatigue can be set to fade out your Action Bars, Unit Frames, or Minimap.
- Threshold Sliders: Added interactive sliders to fine-tune exactly at what percentage the UI starts fading or when the immersive spell fizzles start kicking in.
- Adjustable Drain Rates: Granted full control over global drain speeds for hunger, thirst, and fatigue directly from the Interface options menu.
