Hello dear Regain Earth community & pioneers,
Today we released a regular update for Regain Earth: First Strike.
Thank you!
As always and first of all, we would like to thank our great beta testers very much for giving us feedback and giving us great new ideas. That's what drives the game's development!
This time especially to Robin "Stormtiger" H., Jacky "Schnecky" G. and Melanie "Suesse Maus" S. for play-testing and giving feedback on Regain Earth!
Updates!
New main features:
- New Landscape which surrounds the main gaming area
- Added leaderboard access to main menu, to take a look on ranks of friends and self directly
- Integrate performance test (Performance Benchmark) for developer and beta tester
New Enemy & Weapon types & AI updates:
- Nothing new this time.
Gameplay & Feature Updates & Score Handling:
- Added 10% score boost for kill enemy with explosives
- Set minimum hits to trigger explosives to two hits. So, explosive cylinder do not explode on first shot of strong plasma weapons. But they still explode on first hit by other explosives or fire.
- Set minimum damage for explosive gas cylinder lower so 2nd hit trigger explosion mostly. To make more more tactical usage for explosive gas cylinders.
UI & Controls & Sounds:
- Added Ammunition displayed on HUD. This perhaps will be later removed when dividing into game modes "casual mode" and "pro mode"
- Added new health and scanner icons to HUD instead text
- Extend time for kill feed messages for one seconds more
- Added backup fonts to support more languages for steam names. This also fixed not displayed player names in Leaderboard.
- Added more Icons and colors for indicating killed headshot, killed by explosive, etc.
- Give "enemies" a new name and call them mutants. (Better ideas welcome!)
General Bugfixes & Performance improvements:
- Fixed Audio problems on volume 0 by prevent volume 0 and make minimal volume 10. Allowed only music to be possible volume 0.
- Performance Improvement: Changed all HUD Elements to not pull results frequently, but get informed on changes values
What's next?
- Improve Performance on low spec PCs
- Jumping / climbing enemies
- Many small improvements on my list
- Everything what you need! Just tell me. Feedback is very welcome all the time.
