Soylent Pink - The Nourishing Drink!

Lunar New Year is at it’s end but fret not, Utopia 9 - A volatile Vacation has a new update ready!

Item Adjustments

Weapons have gone through balance and functionality changes

  • The Fast Fingers mutation now works properly.
  • The Swap Hands key now swaps the Primary and Secondary attacks on two-handed weapons.
  • All Ranged weapons now have a fallback melee attack.
  • All attacks with Melee weapons now have a sweet attack effect.
  • The Flak Pistol has a new model.
  • The Pumpgun’s attack rate is doubled, but damage is halved.
  • The Railgun no longer penetrates Shields.
  • Leftover damage, from attacks that destroys Shields, damages the bearer.

Improved Controller Support

Game Controller support is improved towards an even smoother experience

  • Added dynamic switching between mouse/joystick aiming.
  • XBOX controllers now display correct axis and button names.
  • Other controllers brings up a prompt for controls setup.

Mutant Behavior

Mutants now behave differently based on their weapon type

  • Bullet (Overreacts): Lays down suppressive fire when you take cover
  • Energy (Evasive): Fires weapon then moves to a friendly mutant.
  • Explosive (Cowardly): Fires weapon then runs for cover.
  • Melee (Aggressive): Charges around corners into the unknown.
  • Shells (Guerilla): Fires weapon then takes a quick sidestep.
  • We plan to expand these behavioural differences even further!

Story Update

We have begun elaborating on the ingame narrative

  • Pollen has been replaced with Soylent Pink.
  • Added new models and visuals throughout the game.
  • Vending Machines can now be destroyed.
