We've released another exciting game update! First one for 2018!

We've made some big changes to the weapons characteristics. We've added scripting to allow us to adjust the projectile velocity, the gravity, also known as bullet drop, the direct damage and the impact forces of all the weapons with projectiles.
We are also currently working on the hip-firing and aim-down-site mechanics for a more realistic shooting experience.

Specs for each weapon are shown below,

Enforcer Pistol
muzzleVelocity = 200
gravityMod = 0.5
directDamage = 75
impactForce = 10

Intimidater ShotGun
muzzleVelocity = 150
gravityMod = 2.0
directDamage = 125
impactForce = 30

Plasma Blaster
muzzleVelocity = 100
gravityMod = 1
directDamage = 150
impactForce = 50

We'll be tweaking the above settings using player feedback we receive while testing during Raid Events, so make sure you log on during a Raid Event, play around with the weapons, shoot a bunch of enemies and let us know your ideas.

We removed the lazers from the Treasury Hold doorways and replaced the back ones with two new lazers that you do not have to jump over. However, they still zap a bit and reduce your health level, so you better have some food with you if you're looking to make a fast escape with the loot through the Gauntlet. In the front entrance hallway we placed a few crates for cover.

Now you'll be able to identify everyone who's aboard the Disrupter Ships, we've added player-identifiers also known as player-tags or simply, names above the player's heads.
Just in case you don't want to see the names, there's a new option to turn the name feature on or off and can be found on the Game Settings general page.

A new Cargo Bay! In preparation for the forthcoming Air Raid feature, a cargo bay has been built into the underbelly of the Disrupter ships. When completed you'll be able to fly your XR75 fighter ship into the Cargo Bay, jump out and retrieve the treasury loot, then hop back in your XR75 and fly out into the openness of space with your newly acquired riches!

Some quality of life bug fixes and performance improvements have also been included. You can see all the new changes on the official AlterVerse changelog here.

This update brings us to Game Version 0.0.9.1.

See you in the AlterVerse,
