Undercrewed Update Including: Twin stick controls, Lag reduction, Better AI

Greetings Captain.

Since launch Undercrewed has been around at a few expos and it's been great to get to play with everyone.

Now that things are more settled I want to get my head down and work on adding some content. I wanted to push out a small update that actually has a lot of highly requested changes from the feedback I have been collecting.

Some of the new features:

  • Twin Stick Controls (Right stick to aim on gamepads)
  • Colour blind options for backgrounds
  • Better network syncing on some parts of levels
  • AI that gets killed when walking no longer slides their dead body along the floor
  • Better AI for driving the ship around
  • Some extra sounds for taking off, using rooms, damaging enemies, attacking
  • Optimised enemy destruction for better performance
  • Quality of life changes
  • Lots of changes from talking/watching/playing with people.

Plus many more: https://trello.com/b/pBixGPBN/undercrewed

Does this now make Undercrewed a twin stick game?

I’ve been working on a new tutorial level that I am very excited to show everyone.

The plan for the next few months will be to add as much content as I can

Let me know if you see any problems with the controls

Lots of Love
