Howdy Agents (✿◕‿◕)
April Fools is now over! Thank you to everyone who left a review during the event, and as always, join the discord!
If you didn't have a chance to play during the event and claim ur pet rat, you can still unlock them by typing "have_sex_" into your terminal. I might find a way to tie this ability organically into the game some day, but for now you'll have to use a cheat code.
A few additional things were added in the sex update, but were left out of the patch notes for comedic effect.
Patch Notes
- Huge new optimizations to saving and loading. Changing levels should feel noticeably snappier. This unfortunately came with lots of bugs. I haven't run into one in quite a long time but beware of lingering buginess while I continue testing.
- Enemies can now sprint when repositioning with a melee weapon.
- Fixed a bug that caused enemies moving with melee weapons to travel slower than their actual skeleton speed.
- Fixed a bug causing the rain in Duvet's apartment to not render.
- The Become Succ perk now replaces all your abilities with Kiss X. This perk was originally designed when you had to pay chiplets to unequip them (what a wild idea that was!). This new version now feels like it has an appropriate upside and downside.
- Disabling the communication hub should no longer disable the camera hub. This was a weird implicit rule that I didn't like. Com hub only blocks enemies from radioing each other now.
In other news, the Mission BBS rework is almost complete! I'm hoping to have that done by the end of this week.
The current BBS system has a lot of issues, like how all levels are basically the same size and kind of samey outside of 2 variants. The new system will scale the size of levels as you progress through the story, introduce more combinations of effects, and feature a slightly reworked black knights system. It's shaping up to be a nice little update that'll elevate the quality of random missions to be more in line with the rest of the game. This will finally tick us over into version 0.7 as well! I have a lot more to share about the development schedule but I'll save that for next time.
