(The “Everything Explodes Now” Update)
✨ Customizable UI
You asked — the universe delivered! The UI is now customizable with cleaner panels, crack textures, neon glows, and better structure. Your battlefield readouts just became 87% sexier.
✨ Big UI Overhaul
A complete polish pass on the HUD, minimap troop display, bars, overlays, and the victory screen. Performance improved, style boosted, serotonin levels increased.
🔥 New Story Level: “Shoo-Gen”
The next Story Level is live!
“oh no what has science done”.
💣 BRAA BlackRock Cannon
For optimal and excessive obliteration. The Blackrock Cannon is now fully implemented, animated, and integrated with shard behavior, improved firing logic, new effects, and sound-budget-aware booms.
🔊 Sound Bug Fixed
Fixed a hilarious sound bug caused by incorrect parameters — no more megaphone-level ricochet sounds.
🔊 Tons of New Sounds for guns, heat towers and much more
Brand-new audio layers, impact effects, hums, charges.
Heat Towers now sound like industrial death-toasters.
🔧 Pathfinding Bug – Ongoing Overhaul
Multiple improvements to the mp_grid logic, recalculation behavior, caching, and invalidation.
Squads behave slightly less drunk now.
🎧 Dynamic Sound System Overhaul
A full rewrite of how sounds are budgeted, played, and culled:
– Per-step budget
– Global cooldown
– In-view checks
– Cleaner mix
– Mass battles = less ear bleeding
🚨 HUGE CHANGE: All Troops Can Shoot Now
Yep. EVERY troop in the BCF arsenal fires ranged weapons or magic now.
And some enemies too.
Battles immediately became 400% more chaotic and 900% more cinematic.
🟣 Blackrock Buffed
Blackrock Titans got stronger, meaner, and more uncomfortably sentient.
Better HP-scaling, improved attacks, more visual feedback, smoother HP logic, and less “I stop taking damage because I feel like it” behavior.
🧭 Travel Screen Between Story Levels
New transition screens show your team traveling between locations.
Atmospheric!
Immersive!
And a perfect moment to sip coffee before the next disaster.
