New Features / Audio Overhaul

New Features: (Both features are showcased in an updated tutorial level)

• Fading - On player death they now leave behind their fading soul. Mechanically this reduces the player's maximum stamina to 65% of what it was beforehand.

  
  

  • Note 1 - The player's stamina will not get reduced further than 65% of their maximum even if multiple deaths occur in a row.
  • Note 2 - If the player dies more than once in a row, their fading soul will always stay at the very first death point.

• Contact Damage
  • Something I have recently learned to appreciate from fully playing through Hollow Knight, is contact damage. So I decided to put a little spin on it. Whenever an enemy changes color to red, you will take contact damage from them. If they are not red then contact damage is disabled.

Additions:

• Alden
  • Alden is a new NPC that I had planned, but never fully had gotten around to implementing until this update! You first meet him in Ravenheart Cathedral.
• Rings
  • Ironheart Ring - Increases max health
  • Thieve's Ring - Increases player speed
  • Tear - basic spell
  • Tainted Tear - basic spell

Changes:

• Wall-Jump now makes the player fall much slower than it did before.
• Timeless Ring now has an effect in the normal mode as well.
• Item hitboxes made much larger.
• Buffed Celestial Seal's cast time.
• Surge now holds the player in the air while casting.
• Enemies now gain slight transparency when dodging to indicate that they are invulnerable.
• Rat graphics altered.
