Hello,

just a small update for the game. If you want it, set your game to receive beta-updates!

But beware: progression will start from scratch. I've ported the game to a new version of the engine and I'm currently investigating if previous saves are not compatible.

Good news is that your old save will not get overwritten, so you can go back to the previous (non-beta) build.


What does this actually do?

• Well, it's a new version of the engine, so it should run better.
  
• There are a few smaller tweaks and bugfixes
  
• One commonly requested features is added:

How soon this delayed reload will occur depends on the chosen difficulty.


See you next update! ːTheRoosterː

Hey there!

A new update has just released after being in beta for a while. I'll also talk about the future of this game a little bit.

Here's the deal:


- Fixed a possible crash on startup on Steam Deck.
- Yes, this game runs on Steam Deck. It is using Proton. The game looks pretty good on an OLED ;)
- Made some of the maps a little easier
- It should be more feasible now to play Arenas 1 and 2 up to difficulty 15-20
- Renamed some of the entries in the main menu to more accurately reflect the map and mode
- Don't like the look of a hat? Toggle hats by pressing H on the keyboard, or Back/Select on a controller
- The impact effects (particles) should be a little better now
- Changed some of the firing-mechanics a little bit, regarding ejecting spent bullets/shells
- You can no longer single-reload SMGs, as that was a little weird and unfun
- Added a "gun ready" sound for certain guns, like slow-firing shotguns
- Added a "gun almost empty" sound
- Lowered the volume of certain sounds
- Made the default "flashlight" less visible in well lit environments
- Changed the way certain hats work
- The -fake- loading screens can now be skipped with any keyboard input, or start on a controller
- You were already able to skip this screen before, using "A" on a controller, or a click
- You can also skip the intro screens by pressing a button on the controller or clicking
- Added an additional (spread-) shot type to certain guns.
- Very minor tweaks to some maps and graphics
- Some additional bugfixes
- Some additional changes to balancing

In addition, I want to make another, bigger update. But these things take time. And I also want to maybe make another game soon!

Anyway, here are my thoughts on that, in roadmap-form?!



- A different song / atmosphere for the main menu will be tested
- I want to add a friendly fire-option (2 additional hats) to the game
- If everything works out, you could potentially use this to play some sort of deathmatch in this game :)
- Some of the hats dealing with slo-mo don't really work all that well, they will hopefully be fixed
- I want to add some more weapons and bullet-types to the game
- As well as some additional enemy types, but this will require a LOT of testing
- MAYBE there will be a major redesign of the main menu
- ..I'm thinking of some more options to get the artifacts (2 maps per artifact, instead of one)
- MAYBE I'll do an entirely new, exploration based game type. This will also require a lot of testing.
- As I'm only working on this on the weekends and during holidays, these things will take a while.


Have fun!
