Hey all,
Thanks to your great feedback and overwhelming support, the first update on Steam is here! Let me know what you think -- there have been a few visual improvements & more are planned. Lots of tweaks are also here, check out the full list of changes:
- Generally lowered color saturation of the terrain while adding a little more color variety
- Increased texture resolution of the ground
- Increased texture resolution of base floors
- Removed most of the color variation of robots on the same team
- Stations will do a better job of stocking replacement parts for broken items in your inventory
- 1 letter names will now create unique worlds (if you already have a 1-letter named world, it may have changed — use the “Location Rescue” option in the pause menu to reposition yourself).
- Fixed a bug that caused Surveyors to have much less health than they should for their rating
- Significantly increased map scrolling speed when using the keyboard to pan
- Teammates should no longer turn on each other
- Fixed a crash when erroneous keys are somehow assigned and then later displayed
- Change made to hopefully prevent freezes when trying to connect to some multiplayer games
- Followers will now unfollow you correctly if you aggravate them
- Energy beam weapons will no longer hurt teammates
- Vehicle pads now cast & receive shadows correctly
- Fixed a spelling error in the “Effects Config” menu
- The middle mouse button will now switch weapons; useful for gamepad mapping
- Map’s left & right direction is now also inverted when selecting “invert mouse” in “Input Config”
- Improved network performance by only sending held item changes when needed (instead of every switch of a held item)
- Menu will now automatically enter “Quick Tips” when trying to start a new game, instead of asking the player to click “Quick Tips”
You may need to reset your position if you have a one-letter named world, since there was a previous bug where all one-letter worlds were the same. You can reset your position in the Pause Menu by doing "Overlord Rescue".
OK, back to work!
