Hello Survivors!
The New Kind Of Hell Update is finally here, and brings with it a massive list of new content, bugfixes, and general system improvements.
The main feature of this update is the new Hellgate system, which creates a procedurally generated and destructible island in the demonic plane with random locations and epic loot. Find a way to bring down the towers and destroy the gates from within! The Demonic Plane can be very difficult, but the risk is worth the reward so make sure you are packing some serious firepower and fix yourself up as best you can before taking a chance. Every gate you shut down will make the next even more difficult, but also provide you with more rewards.
Hotfix 0.8882 has been released to address some new issues from the new systems and to add a community suggestion. The passenger fire/aim code wasn't working properly, as well as a few other bugs that needed crushing. The changelog is available below.
True flight has been added to Dragons and Hunter Mechs. Dragons will now strafe and harass their prey and Hunter Mechs will fly to advantageous positions to fire on the player with new updated weaponry and effects. Four new audio tracks have been added, as well as updated sun lighting, now with much nicer shadows using proper distance fields. It should eliminate the shadow flickering that would sometimes occur at larger distances. The Item Information tooltip now shows the resource value for the whole stack while you are in the colony, this is useful for determining the resources you will gain for sending items to the caravan.
Added delta time to gamepad camera movement, also increased the default control speed a little in vehicles, trailers, and while in the passenger seat. Aiming/firing from the passenger seat has received an overhaul, adding zoom and recoil. Tires were squealing too much during turns for my liking, I've limited the frequency and general volume to a more manageable level.
I'm always interested in hearing your stories about the game, as well as your suggestions and bug reports, it all helps in the end. I hope you enjoy the update!
