This update is aimed at improving quality of life and making this game more fun to play. Now you can dash through enemies. Enemies will slow down under your bullet hell, or even get knocked back after that juicy sawed-off shot at point-blank range. Also there won’t be annoying medpack drops from bosses when you have 99% HP. It will drop only when it’s really needed 😄
The next update will be released at March 5th and will contain three new levels for main scenario!
New stuff:
- Bullets and projectiles now have an impulse which can knock enemies back on hit. Also there’s a new parameter “BulletImpulseMultiplier” - it will allow you to modify this effect.
- Added a new weapon parameter “Piercing” - how does bullet act when colliding with enemy.
- Added new parameters for enemy spawning, which will allow you to spawn them at the top and the bottom of map.
Changes:
- Player can now dash through enemies.
- Player will not longer get stunned after taking damage.
- Level tasks will be sorted now. Completed - at the top, failed - at the bottom.
- Window mode can now be toggled using Left Alt too.
- Medpack will now drop only if some player is hurt for at least a third part of a medpack power. For example, if player has 90 HP of 100, then a Large Medpack (100 HP) won’t drop from a boss. It will drop only if some player has less than 66 HP.
- Enemy spawning is now animated. Fading in from the black color.
- Now bullet will become more transparent when losing its HP (after hitting enemies).
- Enemies which should be spawned at the map sides will now spawn behind the map borders.
- Added a sound when changing key bindings.
- Gamepad image in the gamepad settings menu is more visible now.
- Gamepad buttons are renamed to the format of XBox gamepads. Instead of "Joy 1" or "Joy X-" there will be "A" and "LStick Left". Unfortunately, controls on different (non-xbox) gamepads may not work correctly so we advice rebinding all your controls.
Fixes:
- A new rendering driver was installed. This should fix the black stripes on the screen in fullscreen mode for some users.
- Fixed a bug, where leaderboards for a level were empty if the player didn’t submit their score yet.
- “Scores” button in scenario menu will become disabled, if leaderboards is unavailable for some reason.
- Enemies won’t turn back and forth when colliding with an obstacle anymore.
- AK-47 won’t pierce enemies when using incendiary ammo anymore.
- Fixed a bug, which caused the game to use 25 times more memory to load the level.
- Very long names of mods and maps will get narrowed if they do not fit in the list window.
- If some player changes or upgrades a weapon, a help tip won’t disappear for other players.
