Patch #3 - Bombastic

Hey!
The new patch for Rebel Wings has just been released. We have managed to squeeze in a lot of smaller stuff as well as a couple of bigger things.

First off, r1sc has been hard at work creating a new airplane model - the Bomber! Sleek and stealthy it slices through the air spreading impending doom on its foes.

Secondly, the windswept desert landscape in "Dunes" has gotten some attention and we've added a couple of landmarks to liven it up.

Here's the patch notes:

Rebel Wings 0.9.5875

  • New: The Bomber makes its first appearance in Rebel Wings!
  • New: Polished the Dunes map.
  • New: Added a setting to control the "Screen Shake" effect.
  • New: Added a subtle button click sound in the menu.
  • Fix: The chat window fades out gradually when not focused.
  • Fix: The chat window is now properly cleared between games.
  • Fix: Auto spawn doesn't take focus from chat input.
  • Fix: Auto spawn checkbox focused only if using gamepad.
  • Fix: Team balance in TDM works a bit better.
  • Fix: The respawn timer now resets correctly on all players between rounds.

There are some known issues that we have found while testing the game:

  • Volume sliders in the Settings menu stops working after you have played a game. Restart is required.
  • The team assignment that you see in the lobby might not match the actual team that you're assigned to in-game.

We would like to thank everyone that participated in the "Play vs. Devs" session last week, it was a lot of fun and very interesting to hear your comments on the game. Hopefully we'll be able to plan a new session soon - keep your eyes peeled to the Announcement section!
