Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to put up a few notes for early supporters of the game. The current build has some issues I wanted to mention before they overly infuriate anyone.
1) Game needs a manual. Working on a "how the hell to play" page or something like that, but there are some things that aren't clear. Definitely look at the control config menu in settings so you at least know all the buttons (weapon/power select being critical for obvious reasons).
2) Some weapon upgrades are crap, some are awesome. Specifically, anything that talks about Armor Piercing is a damn dirty lie. Unless I sleep-coded it (which is possible but unlikely) the armor piercing probably will not pierce any armor at present. The whole upgrade system is getting an overhaul shortly to make it more clear/interesting, but I wanted to at least throw that one out there.
3) Controller support is quirky. It works, but the ui sucks for controller. It's on my list for sure, but definitely plan on having a mouse/keyboard nearby for UI and any quirkiness you run into for now. Oh, and all in-game instructions reference keyboard commands even in gamepad mode, that will change too.
So yeah, there's more I'm sure. Obviously it's in Early Access and the goal right now is to be able to make big changes to make the game more fun, and then zero in on some of this finicky stuff further down the line, but anything game breaking I'll always try to get to asap. I have a support site up at darkmire.zendesk.com if you run into any problems, and while I'm a one-man team, I'll do my best to respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for playing!
