Beta 34 available

Roadmap

Hello Voiders! A new Friday, a new update!

What's new? You can now see the seed which was used to generate your random game, set your own seed and share it with friends to compare your scores! A unique seed will always generate the exact same game.
This is an important step which will be a corner stone to the future daily runs and online rankings.

We are curious to see your best score, feel free to post your score and seed! We will do the same and see who will beat ours. :happyNV:

Other big news: we completely changed the game backend (we switched to SDL2). What does that tech gibberish mean? A lot of bug fixes and a better cross-platform support! The changelog details everything. This is the result of months of behind the scene work.

Great weekend to all of you!

UPDATE: Beta 34.1 has been released to fix an incompatibility with 32bit Windows introduced in Beta 34.

New

  • You can now set a custom seed to create and share unique game. A unique seed will always generate the exact same levels, enemies, items, etc. so you share and compare your score with your friends or online.
  • The seed of your current game will be displayed on the game over screen as well as in the pause menu

Changes

  • A lot of NeuroVoider's internals have been updated to shiny new bits, this fixes a bunch of issues:
    • seamless 32/64bit support
    • better OS X & Linux support
    • the game will not warp your mouse when using windowed modes
    • the window is now properly centered when using windowed modes
    • better fullscreen & windowed modes (the "fullscreen mode" options is back in the settings and allows you to use the classic fullscreen mode, or a false borderless mode)
    • better 4K & Retina support
    • fixes any mouse issue on OS X
    • keyboard mapping now respects the language of your keyboard
    • new gamepad drivers which should fix gamepads on all OS (check the forum to know if your gamepad is supported and how to help us add it if it's not there)
    • loading are now properly multi-threaded and will not micro freeze anymore
    • fixes crashes related to HOTAS and exotic controllers

Fixes

  • Fixes the feedback panel
  • Fixes a possible crash when dropping crystals during boss fights
