Early Access Update Trettiofem (35)
build id: 59625A06
nornware AB is happy to announce a new update to Space Beast Terror Fright.
As mentioned in the previous update announcement, I am going to be proceeding by updating the game in much smaller increments and more often.
Rescue Mode - Lab Style
An option has been added to Rescue Mode called Lab Style, which controls some aspects of map generation in Rescue Mode.
Style A is the previously released (Update 34) version:
- Lab networks are protected by indestructible doors that automatically close when no human is near.
- DNA-screens are placed at the connecting passageway between labs, which only allow non-alien objects to pass (humans and projectiles).
- Breaches may sometimes occur inside of labs (even when Random Breaches is off).
Style B is the new version:
- Lab networks are protected by normal (destructible) doors, but they will always be closed initially, thereby hindering Beast and Creep line of sight into the lab networks. These doors will not auto-close.
- Normal (destructible) doors are placed at the connecting passageway between labs, and these doors will spawn with a 50% chance of being open (the same rules as for all other doors).
- Breaches will never occur inside of labs (unless Random Breaches is on).
Initial tests with these small changes feel like they result in a bit more varied gameplay. Beasts can still penetrate lab networks, but in a more classic / natural way. There is also more protection against Beasts within labs because if the doors inside.
Ultimately Style B rules have more player choice and responsibility involved as opposed to Style A rules. Please experiment with Lab Style B and let me know what you think in the forums.
Miscellaneous
- Distance to civilian displayed in the HUD is now to the nearest civilian who is not directly following a player or running to the airlock.
- Random Breaches now properly spawn in labs.
- The ASSIST text is now properly removed (like the reticle) in the HUD when there is an interaction message displayed.
As always, thank you for your support and patience.
