Hello again, everyone! Today we're excited to release Patch #3 for Neon Inferno, which is a minor patch containing a number of small improvements, QoL features, and scoring balance tweaks. This patch is now live on Steam, and it will roll out to consoles as well over the next couple weeks.
Small Improvements
Brooklyn streets: Added reflection effects to puddles
B.Q.E. (highway): Fixed graphical issue with Yakuza gunmen spawns
B.Q.E. (highway): Fixed clipping issues with certain vehicles or bikes
Pavilion Hotel, elevator: Added animations to floor numbers
Vs. Helena Vos: Fixed bug where "projectile dance" attack's indicators would sometimes not appear; simplified "projectile dance" attack on Novice difficulty only
Metropolitan Lounge: Fixed bug where temporary Yakuza allies would sometimes be unable to damage the NYPD Walker miniboss
54 Linden, stairways: Added damage spaks to bullet-proof glass in both FG and BG
Flooded city: New water splash FX
NYPD safehouse: Added reflection effects to water + a couple new sound effects
NYPD safehouse, entrance: Fixed remaining performance issues on Nintendo Switch 1
NYPD safehouse, boss room: Added 3D lighting and shadows
Pangaea Tower, lobby: Added lightning and lightning flash FX
Pangaea Heavy fight: Fixed a safe-spot
Weapons: Fixed a number of depth-sorting issues (for example, when fighting the Pangaea Hydron, BG Flame Shot would previously display above the FG Hydron heads and FG crosshair)
Vehicle scenes: Added additional logic to make sure that player(s) always respawn in a safe area, fixing certain edge cases which previously existed
Localization: Fixed some minor issues in certain languages
Leaderboards: Fixed bug where playing the game on several different Steam devices could sometimes generate duplicate leaderboard entries
Controls: Fixed bug where, on certain wireless controllers, after controller timeout, the game would erroneously reset control mappings to the defaults
QoL Features
Keyboard / controller: Added new "3-button mode" intended to make the game easier to play on arcade sticks or classic gamepads -- though it is still not ideal
Graphics: Added new anamorphic "stretch to display" option
Scoring Balance
Added No-Item Bonus
Added Arcade Mode Bonus
Added GunSlingers option to single-mission or single-scene replays, so you can buy weapons outside of "Story Mode"
"Story Mode" no longer transfers score to the leaderboards. This was a temporary measure intended only to fill them up with initial data, and at this point it's no longer necessary
The next major patch will contain a new Survival Mode along with more features and improvements, and we expect this to release in another couple months. There will probably be minor patches along the way, especially if any important bugs or feature requests pop up.
Thanks for reading, and as always, I hope you have fun with the game!
