PATCH 9 - Brand New Playable Character!

It won’t show on this shirt!

We’ve added a lot of great new stuff this week, and we hope you enjoy playing with it all. First and foremost, as we’ve been teasing, we’ve introduced a brand new playable character!

Meet Conchita!

She’s five feet three inches of pure dynamite!

This short-fused sister is about to explode, just as soon as you download the update and get playing! She’s our smallest character yet which means she’s light on her feet, nimble, quick, can sprint for ages and sure knows how to handle herself. She’s slightly more accurate and faster on the reload than her giant ‘roided up male counterparts, but this is all balanced by having less health and doing slightly less melee damage too.

Let us know if she’s your new favourite!

We’ve also spent some time overhauling the results screens so that’s a LOT closer to how we want it in the final game, and…. we’ve introduced a level select and a snazzy way to choose a level too! Feast your eyes on this hi-tech solution to your progression-related woes:

Can’t get more 80’s than VHS, baby!

We’ve also added some new multiplayer-only ‘secret’ objectives which should add a bit of back-stabbing-flavoured spice to your games.

ADDED

- New Level select screen added post-character selection
- New playable character, Conchita, and matching UI!
- Two new bonus objective types for multiplayer
- Let Off Some Steam
- Double Cross
- Chance that these will activate on completing the 3rd objective in a level
- Added new sound sets for Conchita
- Added save file indicator for when the game is saving

UPDATED

- Mission results screen updated to become more dynamic
- Mission results screen updated to handle correct character choices
- Hero stats have been tweaked
- Updated Coastal music layers
- Props and tiles now react differently to explosions and bullets, on a prop dependent basis
- Updates to the Coastal and Jungle level room layouts and generation system

FIXED

- Fixed weird offset that was occuring on Bionic Cop's confirmation panel
- Fixes to the grenades
- Fixed issue with legacy save-files not converting correctly to newer formats
- Fixed issue where the number of times being downed in a level wasn't been tracked correctly

Conchita’s also going to be the feature character (and has helped us prep for) next week’s update… Who Wants to Be a Killionaire! We’re hoping to introduce a whole new world of challenges, traps, enemies, bosses and weapons - let’s see how much we can do in just one week!

We’ll be back. And not just in a re-run...
