Hey all you Galv-heads out there! Today’s update is very special because it’s going to shake up the base game in two key ways:
Explosions now propel smaller enemies! Be sure to use this new kinetic power irresponsibly.
Powerups have been added to the mix! Find them tucked away in the nooks and crannies of each level to spice up your gameplay. Powerups include Rapid Fire, Instagib, Turbo, and Springboots.
If you like straight to the point bullet points more:
Reworked enemy navigation
Reworked enemy physics
Some enemies may now be knocked back by explosions
Player movement bugfixes
Various 3D rendering improvements
Added a super sampled text buffer for more readable 2D text
Added subtitles to cutscenes
Added player powerups
Wall jumping has been tuned to be more forgiving
E1M2 (Highway Level) roads now bounce the player on Easy and Medium (was previously an instakill on all difficulties)
What's Next?
Before Episode 2
Overhauled options menu
Customizable reticles (oooo)
Full rebuild of at least one Episode 1 level with our updated workflow
More environment interactables/secrets
Episode 2?!
When is episode 2? Who is episode 2? What?! We wanted to show you a little of what we've been cooking up for Episode 2, ya know, because why the hell not.
Some screenshots straight outta trenchbroom for new Episode 2 areas that are work in progress. Level is tentatively named "Mech City" right now.

Thank you all for playing the game and leaving feedback! We heard you loud and clear, so we made some changes to Episode 1.

The original shape of the furnace was awkward and it was the #1 thing that people had trouble with, so we widened the opening and added a conveyor belt for convenient flesh sacrificing.
You can now grapple onto enemies. Do with this information what you will.
Many of episode 1’s levels have been overhauled to make them more fun, highlights are: - Meat Metro in E1M4 (the lava level) - More outposts and more interesting arenas in E1M5 - Secret level added to episode 1, see if you can find it. Your hint is horns
What's Coming Soon™:

Power Up Pickups (rapid fire, infinite ammo, instakill, etc...)
Ghost Race with 1st/3rd person replay view
Out-of-level content - Gallery - Stats tracking (bullets shot, enemies killed, times jumped, etc...) - Whatever else we think of
Work continues on Episode 2 as well, it is less directly linear and has a hub level where you can do your own routing for what level you want to do next.
As we work on Episode 2, we’d love to hear more from you about how we can make Galvanized the best game it can be. Thank you all so much for supporting us on our journey to manifest the boomer shooter that haunts our dreams.

Right now we're working on a rework of the meat furnace and some substantial changes to E1M4 and E1M5 to make them a lot more fun + the secret level for episode 1. Hopefully the E1M4 & 5 changes will be ready soon and we can share them with y'all.

A bunch of sfx/audio tuning
New rocket launcher alt fire (it's a salvo)
Boosted rocket launcher force on player
Possibly/maybe and I cannot stress this enough potentially addressed some of the shader problems across various graphics cards. We don't have a way to test a lot of these so it's shooting in the dark (much like you do in the game)
