A huge and long overdue update, finally! This brings the game into a new engine version, as well as bringing in lots of big new options allowing you to customize the parameters of your runs!
- Ported the game to Unreal 5.1 from 4.27. This should be a mostly invisible change, since I haven’t actually started implementing any of the cool new features yet, but it may cause some new bugs. Cool new features to come in future updates ;)
- Added “Skip tutorial” checkbox to new game menu
- Added option to disable the time limit (and the Human Services airdrops) to the new game menu
- Added option to disable infinite ammo to the new game menu. When this is disabled, ammo vendors will spawn in the maps, and enemies will have a chance to drop ammo pickups. This is currently missing some useful UI elements, and the ammo economy definitely needs some balancing, but those will be improved in the next update.
- Added background music to main menu
- Added falling hazards that reset you to your last safe ground location and deal 50% of your health in damage
- Replaced boost sound effect
- Fixed lightmap issues on many common models that were causing ugly and incorrect shadowing
- Fixed rockets sometimes not exploding on direct hits with enemies
