IMPLEMENTATION OF MUTATORS
In order to allow you to adjust your experience on UpGun as much as possible, in addition to the already existing settings, the update brings the support of mutators. The mutators are there to add or change a rule of the game in order to let you customize them more.
The update comes with 3 mutators:
- Mystery cards The distributed cards are hidden.
- Big heads Double the size of the robots head.
- One shot The slightest damage is fatal!
NEW FEATURES
Since the game was recoded from scratch, in addition to restoring the old features, we decided to improve the existing ones and add a few more.
- New lighting system The game's lighting has been completely redesigned to support a day/night cycle system and more accurate indoor lighting.
- New damage indicators Now your health is visible around the screen, cracks appear when you take damage. In addition to that, an effect appears indicating the origin of the damage you take.
- Interface redesigns
Many of the game's interfaces have been redesigned to be more readable, more efficient or just more aesthetic. The menus that have changed the most are: the game creation menu, the scoreboard and the game creation settings.
(You can now specify the desired level of default skills)
- Fire extinguishers can explode Fire extinguishers can now explode and put out nearby fires.
- New rendering option If your PC supports it, a new rendering option has been added to enable additional lighting.
