Dev Log
This update's focus is on reducing player toxicity. Some of you have been abusing the chat binds quite a bit and the feature was almost removed entirely but I was talked out of it. Theres also flood protection as well.
Weird unicode characters have also been stripped from names and clan tags. This was not only annoying and made me cringe to see edgy usernames, but it also messed with Game Maker's ability to log the chat and sending commands to the server.
The process to make levels less valuable has started. Instead of seeing them on the scoreboard, you now must click on their name. I'm not dumb and can tell someones cracked the save encryption, and I expected it. I'm just starting to move the game towards a point where levels and saves won't really matter that much except to the player that has it.
Lastly, some more weapon balancing. Handcannon has a new gimmick that should make it a less spammy weapon. Damage fall off has been increased, making most other weapons less spammy as well. Hopefully that will suffice the hand cannon whining.
Also Premium is on the sale, 50% off. Won't get much cheaper then that.
