The Final Days v0.20 update is now out and includes some big changes!
New Features
- Object Dragging It is now possible to grab objects (i.e. crates and barrels) and drag them around. This makes strategically placing objects MUCH easier!
- Drop Ammo If you have any special ammo to spare, you can now drop it to share with your team mates. Note that you must have at least 1 full clip left for this to work.
- New map: "Hospital" (Thanks to Makofire for the concept which inspired this!)
- Support for Latin and Cyrillic characters The most common Latin (e.g. European) and Cyrillic (e.g. Russian) characters are now included in the fonts. So player names and chat messages using these characters will now display correctly. Other characters (e.g. CJK characters) aren't supported by the fonts I'm using, but I will try to look into this later.
Notable Fixes
- Auto port forwarding (UPnP) fixes In some cases, this wasn't working even though it was configured correctly. This was obviously quite bad as it meant that others could not join your public games. This should now be working much more reliably than before. But if you are still having any issues with this, then definitely let me know!
- Fixed sound effects being too loud This issue mainly affected people using headphones or surround sound speakers.
- Physics are now much smoother Previously, physics could get a little jerky when there was a lot of enemies on screen or on high latency connections. Things should now be a lot smoother in these cases.
There were also several other changes and fixes. For further details, you can view the full changelog on the forums.
If you come across any issues or have any feedback, then please feel free to let me know. As usual, the best place to reach me is on the forums. For other ways of contacting me, check out the "Welcome to Final Days" forum post.
I hope you enjoy the update! :)
Cheers,
Mike
