Hey there guys! You might be interested to know what this update is about.. or you might already be bored to shit with it ( it's all about perspective ).ːsteammockingː
First off I really need to thank a couple users who are helping me keep this crazy game on the right track:
Vyper2040
BigCjnS
Gladiator
Thank you all for going into detail and helping me hone in by describing some of the issues you've encountered within the game. Over the last few days I've been on a hunt to track them down. You've got my gratitude, and I would always appreciate your future input or straight up opinions on things concerning STLD. Without further delay here's a list of what's been changed or repaired.
CHANGES
- That damned stair bug is finally gone. I'm referring to the one that often occurred when the player would go downstairs and the first shot they fire would miss. I thought I had repaired this one a few weeks ago. I was quite wrong.
- The Remote Bomb now saves when purchased in the Skeleton Key Reward Menu. **Please see the bottom to read about the gift this week.
- The Sailfish Repeater no longer disappears when you discover Lemat ammunition in the closet. I was so confused by this bug, I had to do some digging to figure out exactly what the crap was going on. Hopefully it's all better now.
- Closet Values have been adjust so that the uncommon items appear more often. This wasn't really a bug, hopefully it just makes the gameplay funner.
- When discovering Painkillers in the closet, you also find 3 shotgun rounds. The Painkillers item in the closet is a very common item to find the second time players open the closet, I wanted to make it a little funner and useful so now you get some first aid and a bit of bang bang as well.
- Rocket Launcher has one extra rocket when playing 18 minute mode. To clarify, when you kill the Dread zombie that pops out of the closet and he drops a Rocket Launcher, it will hold 2 rockets if you are on 18 minute. Only one on 10 minute mode. ( works in both Hardcore and Normal )
- The Fire Bow now holds more Ammo. I'll list this change as simply as I can. The Bow has 7 Arrows when you play 10 minute mode. When you play 18 minute mode the bow now has 10 arrows
- The Mace Invulnerability has been extended to 7 seconds and blinks while ACTIVE The Ammo counter on the bottom left screen will blink when you activate this PWR ability, as long as it's blinking the mace should be unbreakable. Also if you hold Sprint now you can still attack, if you prefer not to let your finger off that button.
- Explosions will now damage doors and usually knock them down. Basically if something explodes too close to a door it will cause damage to it just like a zombie does. If that door doesn't have a wooden board on it , the door will likely fall over if too close to the blast.
- Standing in the First Room when the CONTAINERS explode will cause severe damage to Amber. When you damage the Still Containers and they leak enough fumes they will explode the room. If you are in the room when this explosion occurs you get hurt very badly now.
- Traps can no longer be placed too far into the Staircase. Occasionally zombies and monsters would step over traps if you place them right into the base of the staircase ( taking 0 damage ). This should no longer be able to occur.
- The Cultists no longer get stuck on the Staircase when they are injured. You may have noticed they just stop some times on the stairs after taking damage. This shouldn't happen anymore.
- The rock item has been tinkered with a bit. Hopefully this will prevent the player from having further issues throwing the rock. (Just in case)
Where's My Present?
So besides the fact that the Fire Bow now holds 10 arrows in 18 Minute Mode, you will gain a Skeleton Key from now on if you beat 10 Minute mode with the Hardcore Difficulty turned on. So now there's even more incentive to playing Hardcore mode.
here's something else for you for a limited time
I feel bad about the Remote Mine not saving when players have purchased it, so now that it's repaired , for a limited time you can have it and Hardcore mode again for free.
Press H on the Main Menu and you will be rewarded with both Hardcore Mode and the Remote Mine. This is going to be a for a limited time only!! so if you want these gifts for free you should do this before the end of this week They should save properly this time without any nonsense so you can have them permanently if you wish to press the H key and unlock them.
Ok that's all I've got for now, I'm gonna be back I hope near the end of the week to show you guys some more of the asset art I'm working on and give you more news.
Thank you all for staying with this project, it wouldn't be the same without you.
If something is still funky with any of these bugs , please let me know!
Cheers,
-Pyro
