Greetings.
This update brings many big improvements!
New Main Menu + Rich Presence
The first big change in this update is the new main menu UI overhaul!
With it comes Steam Rich Presence integration, now allowing you to see what your friends are doing in-game, as well as joining their game, as well as inviting your friends to your own game!
This can be done from both the main menu as well as from in-game!
Choosable Bot Difficulty Level
The game actually already had a dynamic bot difficulty level - I tried my best to mimick the 'director system' from Left 4 Dead as an inspiration.
But this proved too difficult, and not clear or effective enough for players, so I ended up ditching that system entirely and just introducing a basic, but clear and effective choosable difficulty-level system.
New Weapon Aiming
I also improved assault rifle + rocket launcher weapon spread + recoil settings.
Now, hip-firing without aiming has little recoil, but massive punishing bullet spreads. And firing while aiming has almost-dead-on bullet spread accuracy, but high recoil.
What's Next?
Controller support
More main menu songs
In-game background music!
Overhauling (yet again) weapon selection system!
New maps!
New weapons! (both conventional, and expiremental...)
UI localization
And more!
