Hello! Today's 20XX patch adds a ton of new Menu/UI art and feel (real Boss Healthbars! A good pause screen/death screen! finally). It also adds some more level pieces and fixes a few boss issues.
Disclaimer: 20XX is in alpha. As we develop the game, we may make changes that require us to invalidate or wipe your 20XX save files, Steam Leaderboard info/achievements, and other save-y stuff like that. Be aware!
Note: The closer we get to release, the closer the price will get to our planned Full Release price of $15.
TL;DR for today's patch: Massive UI/Menu overhaul (part 1). More level pieces for Agnisort/Vaculab. Lots and lots of tweaks and fixes.
For the next patch or two: Skytemple full rework, More boss work, more level variability, safehouse rework part 2, UI rework part 2.
As always, let us know if anything's busted or if we missed some changes.
BIG CHANGES:
- The Pause menu has been entirely reworked (work in progress). You can select your Powers to move them to other slots (if you pick up a Power and decide you'd rather have it on a different button).
- All menus now use fixed Accept/Back buttons (A/B on a controller, Space/Z on keyboard). They're no longer bound to Jump/Interact. That felt bad.
- The main menu has been redone.
- The death menu has been redone (super work in progress). It'll list a bunch of stats involving how you died and how your run went (to be later integrated into bigger stats that carry across runs).
- The in-game HUD has been redone.
- Boss health bars now occupy a fixed part of the screen. There may be issues with multi-part boss health bars in networked play for now (we'll fix it).
SMALL CHANGES:
- Made a camera change (experimental and not quite done) around level edges to prevent some weird camera issues.
- Move speed/attack speed items now also increase the character's animation speeds by an appropriate amount.
- Fixed lots of font stuff. Changed the $ sign to a more-fitting nut symbol.
- More boss tweaks.
- Changed around some controller bind stuff for folks that use non-360 controllers.
- The placeholder Shopkeep in the Ark is still a placeholder. Sorry! His overhead message has been updated to reflect the fact that we are sorry about this.
- 20XX has a new Desktop icon.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash some users experienced versus Arach.
- Fixed 85 million other small things.
