Latest update is a massive one - it included a new explosive RPG weapon (and a skin for you to unlock ofc!) and tons of features & fixes.
Player health shader!
I've added a new shader for the player which briefly shows how much health the player has left - shown when player is taking damage. Look at the damage-blink and you'll see a red bar fill up representing the health left.
Weapon knockback & core weapon change!
I've added the ability for weapons to have knockback and introduced this for the double-barreled shotgun, the rocket launcher and the sniper rifle.
Speaking of the sniper rifle, I've modified it to make it more viable. It can now be recharged and shot immediately after firing.
I've also now made it so that weapons don't destroy their projectiles upon weapon switching, so no more projectiles going "poof" when getting/switching to a new weapon.
Player dashing!
I've added an experimental player dashing mechanic by popular demand - It's disabled by default and can be enabled in the lobby settings. Let me know if it should be a part of the game always, I'm still on the fence about it!
LOTS of quality of life changes & balance tweaks
I've been fortunate enough to get the game tested by some new people (Chet Faliszek!) who streamed a 8-man game, playing himself for the first time. Some issues became apparent so I've took the time to really focus on a lot of small things and features - lots of quality of life features.
Kill notifications, up-scaling of some UI elements, new crosshair options & crosshair sizes, and general attempts at making stuff more clear!
