Hi everyone Rich here, after speaking to many of you on both sides of the Prospekt club I've taken a tonne of feedback on the game and have a good idea for its direction. Over the last two weeks I've been keeping my eye on the beta and people seem to really like the changes and really feel that it is a good improvement to the game. So tonight, I am making the update official.
What's in this update?
1. Reduced difficulty
2. Overhaul of the flashback effect to make the game play better whilst in a flash back event.
3. Drastically reduced the effects on the final level making it much better to play.
4. Added red shotgun soldier to differentiate between the two enemy types.
5. Reduced the overall file size slightly.
6. Increased the overall detail of level 2
7. Added extra cover to level 2
8. Added monitor to level 2 so player can see when they shutdown the shield wall.
9. Increased overall brightness slightly in level 2.
10. Reduced Antlion swarm on level 2.
Due to some level reworks some of you may experience some corruption of your saved files. Apologies for this. I am looking into an advanced way to distribute game files without it effecting the end user so that should help in the future. For the time being if you do have an issue.
You can either:
A. Restart the chapter you are on to solve your problem or
B. Open console and type sv_unlockchapters (then the number for your chapter here) if you have lost progress.
If you do have any more issues ill be on hand all of this evening until around 1am UK time to speak to you all and give help on the forums.
Also the node graph rebuilding issue is being hunted down, I am aware of this and not just myself but other developers are working on a fix so hopefully soon that will be a thing of the past.
Thank you all for your support. This has been a life changing time for me and I'm learning so many new things about game design and development at such a rapid pace its quite overwhelming. I have listened to a lot of your feedback and it is clear you wanted more. So I going to do my best to deliver more. Prospekt will continue to get updated in the future with many new exciting things that are in the works.
Thank you all for your support so far.
Rich
