While we thought work on Nuclear Throne would sit still during Gamescom, PAX and Fantastic Arcade - it seems the prospect of lots of travel made us do our best even more, resulting in this massive update. It did impact our paperwork a bit, so changelogs have been late and we apologize for that. Hopefully, as travel dies down, we can get back to posting proper update logs again.
Let's go over things real quick: Way better Proto Statues, a new B-skin, some interesting changes to Rebel, lots of important (and ancient) bug fixes, a super cool intro for the loop exclusive boss fight, SPARKLING PROJECTILES for golden weapons, and way more! We're introducing a new mutation too, and we should've fixed a lot of the visual glitches introduced by switching to a newer build of GameMaker.
Rami took a week off, roadtripping around the US with his family. We also had an amazing time at both gamescom and PAX. Nuclear Throne had amazing showings at both events (it was so successful at PAX that Enforces had to come and thin out the crowds almost hourly) and Vlambeer turned 4 years old. Thanks for your ongoing support, and keep letting us know what you think of the game.
