"Tasks", the endless mode is now available.
Making "tasks" happen required lots of changes in the game and engine. The actual content (including tasks) was just a part of it. For most of the fixes in the main branch, I tended to write them down and have the list as actual as possible, but I did not include into the release notes the changes done on "endless mode" branch. Therefore, the list below contains almost solely content changes:
- added endless mode (tasks)
- tasks available:
- exploration
- interface box search
- item hunt
- hacking interface boxes
- data core retrieval
- system stabilisation
- stop the intrusion
- new passive EXMs:
- weapon collector (weapon loot is way more often)
- energy retainer (on each shot you get free energy to the other hand)
- build in magazine (all weapons you have have magazines)
- firepower (greater cost/chamber, even more damage)
- emergency revival (if your health reaches zero, you get some health restored which costs you energy + 3 seconds of invincibility
- explosion resistance (you only get 25% damage from explosions)
- new active EXMs:
- remote control (activates mines, spiderbots, opens chargers, drops down shields, deflectors)
- push (pushes away objects in front of us, useful to push into chasm)
- pull (pulls a bit objects but more important, pulls items towards us)
- corrosion spray (continuous spray of corrosion from hand, useful to use in a burst - you don't need a corrosion weapon to get the corrosion effect on the enemies)
- charged plasma ball (throws a projectile of charged plasma that slows down - it pushes away from the walls and if it detects an enemy, it may pull towards it)
- new enemies:
- "fender" tough with automatic gun and a shield
- "tentacled" versions of fender and scourer
- new weapon nodes:
- main node with 3 node slots
- main node with 4 node slots
- kinetic energy (to push enemies)
- confuder (confuses enemies for a short time, lowers damage a lot)
- healing/medi (part of the energy is used to heal the player
- fixed visible one frame when starting "another chance"
I wanted to prepare a proper trailer but I am a bit sick (well, for a month now!) and it is just getting worse (almost permanent cough, manageable during the day, but the nights just lead to sleeplessness.
