Hi everyone!
I've just pushed patch 2.1.0 live for Zombie Estate 2. This patch includes new, FREE content along with some bug fixes!
New

18 Achievements have been added to the game!
A brand new level, The Farm, has been added!
5 Power ups! These rare drops boost your damage, armor, movement speed, crit chance for a short time, or give you extra money!
6 New weapons have been added, including a new Mega weapon, the Demon Hand.
2 New hats!
Bug Fixes and Balance Changes

Minion damage has been globally reduced by 30%. Minions have always been a bit too strong, but I will keep an eye on this and tweak if necessary.
You can no longer take damage in between waves (i.e., you can't die from burning damage after a wave ends.)
Attempted, again, to fix the "shadow only/graphics corruption" bug that some users are experiencing. Let me know if you still see it!
Drop rates have been updated, I will be keeping an eye on this as well.
Drops now are pulled towards you from further away. This should help players safely retrieve money and ammo without having to get quite as close to zombies.
Thanks everyone for your continued support! Enjoy!

Version 2.0.14 Bug Fixes
Small patch to fix a data corruption issue with certain languages. Sorry for the delay on the new content update! I've been really busy and have not had nearly as much time to work on it as I thought I would have. Stay tuned!

Bugs Fixed

Fixed Mega Healing Totem (and other aura based totems) not working correctly when overlapping, causing the 2nd one dropped to not function.
Fixed bug where players could get stuck on the victory screen.
Fixed the controller toggle button not working when the player joins a lobby.
When joining a lobby with a controller on the Lobby Browser, the character select screen will now correctly default to the controller instead of reverting back to mouse and keyboard.

Balance Patch
This is the first of many balance tweak patches for the game. I've buffed/nerfed some low hanging fruit, but I am aware there are things that still need tweaking, such as Minions.
Game Difficulty

Reduced the first few waves' zombie counts.
Further reduce the drop rate of ammo, money, and health packs as zombie count gets higher.
I'm hearing both that the game is too brutal and too easy... So I've taken a few steps to balance out the difficulty a bit. This should make the beginning of the game a bit easier, while making the late game more difficult by reducing ammo, money, and health pack drops. I am keeping a close eye on this and will continue to tweak as necessary. There are a *lot* of variables that go into this, so a delicate touch is necessary.
Buffs

Buff fire rate and reload rate of the Tundra Falcon (John's starting weapon.) John's weapon was firing too slow causing his opening waves to be more difficult than most other characters.
Nikta Beam now has a 100% chance to bounce off walls up to 3 times. The Nikta Beam was much weaker than it should have been at it's price point. Now that the bullets bounce, players can fire it in narrow hallways, or on long straight paths, to have the ricochet take out additional zombies.
Mining Helmet now properly increases explosive damage by 25%. The tooltip was correct, but the stat increase was accidentally set to 15%.
Nerfs

Frost Arrow cost increase and rate of fire decrease. The Frost Arrow was vastly out-classing weapons of similar cost. While I don't want to over-nerf, I've increased the price a bit while reducing the rate of fire.
Life Steal overall reduced. Towards the end of development, I changed how life steal was calculated requiring I reduce the life steal % on various weapons. I missed a couple, including Dave's Rake, causing them to make their wielder's nearly invincible.
Deluxe Nurse Hat Z-Point cost raised to 120. This hat was mistakenly priced at 40 points.
And last but not least, in appreciation for all your support, I've added a new hat!
Thanks everyone, and as always, please let me know if you run into any issues! I will be continuing to knock out my bug list this week.

Attempted fix of graphical issues where zombie/character/bullet textures disappear, but shadows can be seen moving around. PLEASE let me know if you see it again after this update. I have yet to reproduce this at my desk. (Note: if the bug still exists, I've heard alt-tabbing/minimizing tends to fix it.)
Fixed local players continuing to move after the store has been opened. (Trying to escape, those cowards.)
Fixed local players not being able to re-open the store while others are browsing. Press Space/A to open it again.
Fixed issue that could result in players not continuing to the Victory Screen after winning the game. Please let me know if you see this still.
Added a "Quit" button on the lobby that you can use if you get "stuck" in a corrupted lobby. Still investigating what caused that corruption of that one lobby. Last but not least, congrats to KingIce, Pigergast, victorytrinity, and Kritso for getting all the way to wave 31! Anyone done better yet? :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=842644705 Thanks again guys for the support! -Netherius
