Hey All!
Update 8 is on its way, and there are a ton of improvements incoming. As it is quite likely to be the final feature build before a refinement phase/extended beta, we're making sure that we get it right. It is a little delayed from what we originally had intended, but we're sure you'll be happy with it when we release it in the next couple of weeks or so.
Here is a little sneak preview of some of the main features!
Here is a quick run down of the main features:
- Greater variation for the AI director and general fixes to spawn locations. (e.g. much less spawning of creatures within your cone of vision and reduction of 'lag spikes')
- object clash sounds
- Integrated final Temple level
- Ragdoll disappearance fix
- New tutorial level
- Minimap can be turned off
- Minimap is now vastly improved (only shows areas you've been to and doesn't show the entire map on startup)
- Broken weapons added for all weapons
- Fixes to shop functionality
- UI Upgrades (e.g. tentacle textures upgraded, eye upgraded)
- Final game loop structure
- Updated journal content
- Upgrades to teh Junkie Animations
