Fixes and Improvements
Upgraded our Character Controller
- Fixed an issue where Ash would keep bouncing forever when trying to climb certain objects
- Fixed an issue where Ash would jitter when sliding on certain slopes
- Ash's maximum walkable slope angle has been reduced from 62 degrees to 42.5 (This will make it harder to stay on top of certain trees).
Bugfixes and Optimizations
- Fixed a lot of Crashes that were happening
- Started optimizing our Net Code
- Fixed A LOT of small errors that were happening and causing certain strange stuff to happen (like dead enemies spawning)
Director's Commentary
This update marks the start of our efforts into making combat a lot more interesting. With two new enemy types released and some more in the works, we want to keep combat super fast paced and interesting during the entire duration of the run. We also did a lot of enemy tweaking like reducing/changing some spawns here and there and changing some behaviors like the Snake's Bullet not going through walls anymore.
We also focused a lot on the game's Stability, we identified some issues that were causing Crashes and we went hard on fixing those, the side-effects of this is not only Crashes being fixed but the game running MUCH smoother. We want to keep solving stability issues on a higher priority than other issues, so please keep reporting any crashes or things that are game-breaking! :smile:
As always, thank you SO VERY MUCH for playing Atomic and helping us make it better and better!
See you on the next update!
