Odd Realm has a new beta update that you can download today. Patch 0.10.0.18 beta brings some much-needed improvements.
Before anything else, Entities in this game are a collective term used to denote the playable races, animals, enemies, and summoned creatures. That said, the developers have added some pathfinding improvements, particularly when it comes to how paths are prioritized. To put it simply, entities that are given a move order are prioritized first, with NPCs being prioritized last.
Combat improvements and bug fixes have been added as well. Back then, there were some cases where entities in hold positions wouldn’t attack enemies even if they were too close. Thankfully, this annoying bug has been addressed. The devs have also implemented some line-of-sight logic for ranged fighters. What this means is that you can no longer be attacked through the ground.
