Work on this update was bit harsh couse of ending flu epidemy in europe and i unfortunately felt victim to it after resisting it for whole winter. That resulted in forced drop of few features that i wanted to have in 0.95 release, but i guess thats life and not everything go the way it was planned all the time. However i hope this update brings enought of new stuff to be worth of downloading.
Leaderboard
I was afraid of adding this one to my games for years, as everytime i opened steam api documentation and looked on to leaderboard features i insantly got headache. Fortunately, i took another try on it why i was still in full condition and to my surprise, implementation took way less time than i expected.
Right now there is leaderboard for Blasted Road missions as its easy to measure who reached farthest and its the ultimate endgame mode that everyone should be grinding for best ingame items anyway.
Leaderboard can be viewed both on steam page and ingame. Ingame can be displayed if you mouseover scouts base and it ll pop up in a second or it is displayed each time you finish blasted road mission.
I know many of you wont be interested in this feature, but i belive it will awake competetive spirit a bit and will give all of the grindin and game progress some meaning.
Scavenger slot
Scavenger slot can be purchased in your base now! This slot can be used as additional storage slot for your vehicle, however car stationed there will depart each day for its solo mission. That means it will gain some experience and will bring few resources back to the base each day.
Meaning of this feature is to level replacement for your main squad in case you lost one of your vehicles, or bigger repairs are necessary and you dont want to replace it with fresh level 1 vehicle.
Sure, leveling while stationed in scavenger slot is a lot slower, but coupled with bit extra income from it, it makes "accidents" with your main group bit less catastrophic as you will have trained reserve waiting for assignment if managed properly.
Blasted Road Changes
Vulture Valley Oasis was added as one of the checkpoints. It can be visited by reaching terror 40 and making your way to next checpoint. Nomad trading caravan is stationed there and they will gladly throw permanent upgrades on to your weapons.
In addition spawn tokkens calculation for enemy spawner was altered so the encounters should be much shorter right now, even at higher terror levels resulting in faster runs.
Thats it friends! I know, this update is missing new loot and all that shiny stuff you are all after, but i promise, it ll come in next update!
Thanks for reading & with regards!
