Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Update #56

The 56th Kickstarter update for the open world action-RPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a bit on the shorter side but to compensate for its length, it brings some good news. We learn that the newest version of the game adds the minimap, a feature that any self-respecting game should have. The minimap can also be extended into a map overlay, a common thing for action-RPGs.

Here are a couple of words about the minimap and the other changes the update brings:

While developing update 0.5, progress has been made on a major feature that many of our players have been requesting for a long time : the minimap! So here is update 0.4.2, feature a working minimap and overlay in dungeons, improved auto-dashing and more changes!
The new minimap is still work-in-progress and will be refined and improved in update 0.5, but is precise-enough for players to orient themselves within even complex environments.
Players can also bring up an overlay map in dungeons, which helps navigation in a big way. Fog-of-war will be added in a future update.
Dashing is now also more reliable and visually improved.
The transparency system has been improved too, and cases of flickering and visual artifacts have been eliminated.
