HAPPY WINTER SALE MEATBROS!!!
The newest update with 2 Player online co-op, breakable walls and more other stuff is LIVE on public branch, as well as a 25% discount for Steam Winter Sale (in an hour?). Ahhh, the perfect time to grab the meatiest game for you and your friend and finally try it out! If it's your first time - consume the Golden Light, let it's weirdness fill you. If it's not - you probably want to know what's new innit? Let's list what's up like we always do, haha!
What's new:
2 Players Online Co-op:
It's here! Access it in the main menu and invite your friend through the Steam Overlay. You'll start on Floor -1 and begin your journey to the bottom of The Gut. Each time you defeat a boss you'll unlock a checkpoint, so next time you'll want to play you can start from Floors -4/-7 etc. If your friend got into trouble during your co-op sessions - no worries, you can pick up your pal's brain and gently toss it into a nearby Meat Iron Maiden. It's ressurection time! Co-op features a slightly different in-game balance as well as multiplayer exclusive mementos, for example a memento that lets you heal yourself in exchange for harming your friend! Yes, we know, we are very cruel. Since this is just the first step for multiplayer Golden Light experience - expect some more Early Access jankiness that we'll hop on as soon as we find out about it. More than that, we are thinking about expanding on the idea of multiplayer modes and it's QoL features and other stuff that'll make it fun. For now you are able to invite or join only your steam friends, so it'd be reasonable to call each other in the discord or anywhere else. In the future though, depending on the reception of Co-op and it's performance, we'll start to think about adding quick games with randoms, lobbies, voice/text chats and maybe even customization of your Meat Bro, not even talking about crazy multiplayer ideas we have that could include more than just two players. If you do not have a friend to play Golden Light with - be sure to hop into our discord, you'll most likely find someone to have fun with! https://discord.gg/mm47XfrS5v We'll be also closely looking at feedback in the coming days to see how Co-op is treatin ya to make notes and use em for later, so be sure to share your thoughts with us.- Stop right there, drop your weapon!: As a result of Co-op mode you can now drop items and weapons (even in singleplayer. Default key is "G". Press to drop an item, hold to drop a weapon"). Got too much items and don't want to use it right away? Share it with your buddy!
- Breakable walls: The walls of The Gut can now be destoyed, which will bare meaty insides. Opening a new path may reward or harm you, since newly opened will spawn enemies, weapons, items, status effects etc. I guess that's the price to pay for your curiosity!
- New mementos: Jump in slow motion or destroy nearby walls by eating an item. Find new mementos in the game and try em out!
- New mood for the Main Menu: Holidays are here and NY 2021 is just around the corner. It's time we update our little menu with a little more christmasy vibe.
- New visuals for chains and locks: It's animated now, yay!
- Updated lighting for some biomes: Speaks for itself, the lighting was alternated on some floors for easier navigation.
- More original tracks for flashback sequences: We've added more ost. More than that, now a random track will play for the Band granni and Elevator in co-op. Hope you'll like these new tunes too!
- Many many minor fixes: You know, the game won't fix itself.
As always, we continue work on the Hub zone and it's accessabillity as well as more content and balancing of the game. Thank you for your time, we hope you'll like our rad co-op mode and we can't wait to hear all sorts off suggestions and feedback of any kind from you!
