Ants Took My Eyeball news & patch notes

Hey all! This is a small patch with improvements to general performance of the game as well as one crash fix. Changelog

• Improved level loading times. Depending on your machine, you may see even multiple seconds shaved off of all loading screen times.
• Improved performance (FPS) across the whole game. However, if your FPS never dipped below 60 in the past, you won't see a difference, because the game is capped to 60 FPS anyway.
• Fixed time slowing down when FPS falls below 60. Now the world is simulated using a dynamic time scale, which means that the game will behave mostly the same even if the framerate falls below 60.
• Fixed a crash that would rarely happen when killing a worm type enemy.

Hello everyone! In this update we bring various miscellaneous fixes and improvements, as well as some updates to the final boss fights. Ever since launch we’ve been a bit unsatisfied with the final bosses, as we weren’t able to spend as much time on them as we wanted to. We finally took the time and gave them the polish they needed. They should now be more challenging and less chaotic, and hopefully generally more enjoyable. We also took the time to go through the list of bugs and small improvement ideas that has accumulated over time. Here’s the full list of changes: Updated the final bosses

Hey all! It's time for a small update. Almost any regular enemy may spawn as an elite, which is a more challenging version of the enemy. So far we've had three elite types: fire, ice and poison elemental. In this patch we've added six new elite types:

• Acid elemental: Drops acid when hit.
• Electric elemental: Creates a ball of lightning after taking enough damage.
• Gold elemental: Slow but strong and drops lots of gold when killed.
• Imu Mygga cultist: Heals itself if it hasn't been damaged for a moment.
• Saint Rekoil cultist: Explodes when killed.
• Aave Sirkka cultist: Respawns nearby dead bodies as ghosts.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/49f72885125e0e3ce53a89ec1c35fbead93a0ce5.gif A Javelin Ant as an electric elemental elite In addition to these new elite types, as always, we've fixed miscellaneous small bugs and crashes.

Hey all! We've got two pieces of news for you. First, the Ants Took My Eyeball original soundtrack is now available also on Steam! Second, the newest update for the game is out with new content as well as many fixes.

New quick select wheel

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/2af89e37a76f9d8661b62fb5a707dfd98b036f93.gif The first new feature that we'd like to showcase here is the new quick select wheel for switching between your ranged weapons, melee weapons and gadgets. The game has always had a quick select button, but we weren't happy with its design because it wasn't convenient and quick enough to allow you to switch between items mid-combat, which is how it was intended to be used in the first place. We also got a lot of feedback from you players that aligned with our opinion of that design. The new wheel is used with the same old keys as the previous one (1, 2 and 3 on keyboards and d-pad on gamepads), but it looks and feels totally different. It's now a wheel that shows your first four items of that item type and lets you select between them by aiming towards one of them. The game speed is slowed down while the wheel is visible, but only in singleplayer mode.

Collectible cassettes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/f651c8caedaa7fae3df6a65da8a4a4efe16e60a7.gif To celebrate the release of the soundtrack on Steam, we've added 21 collectible cassettes, each with a unique track from the game. They're hidden around the world in specific places and require a special secret method to get them. Once you've found a cassette, you can play its track at any cassette player, for example the one in Haymo's Hideout.

New items

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/c2c8a013080d3e6022cac672f620ebdb0818ac06.gif We've added 10 new items, including the Guitar, which is most powerful if you hit with it on beat in sync with the music of the game. Many of the other new items' effects are also related to staying in sync with the music.

Tutorial skip option

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/228fe2e2eb954cb0b47f1d1ba60418a4e930c282.gif Many of you have asked for the ability to skip the initial tutorial area of the first level. We've added this as a toggleable option that you can unlock for free at Haymo's Hideout.

Full changelog

• New quick select wheel for switching between ranged weapons, melee weapons and gadgets.
• Added 21 collectible Cassettes that you can find in hidden places and take them with you using a special item.
• Added two achievements related to the new Cassettes.
• Added the ability to skip the tutorial area of the first level. It's a free upgrade at Hideout Renovations.

• Added tutorial signs for using the quick select wheel to the tutorial area.

We've gotten a few reports of players losing their save progress. This was due to how the game synchronized Steam cloud saves with local saves, and the issue would occur when you switched between enabling and disabling Steam cloud. We've now changed how the game deals with Steam cloud saves and this issue should not occur anymore. This change requires no action from you as a player. Just launch the game and play as you normally would. Unless you want to switch between local and cloud, or something goes wrong with your save file, there should be no need for you to manually manage your saves. Change log:

• Fixed an issue with the game sometimes overwriting an old save with a new one when switching between Steam cloud enabled and disabled.
• You now have two parallel active saves: one saved locally on your computer and one on the cloud. When cloud is enabled, it uses the cloud save and when cloud is disabled or unavailable, it uses the local save. The game will never automatically try to convert a save between the two places.
• You can now view all your save files in the main menu under "Manage saves". There you can set an older save as active or copy a local save to the cloud.

Hey all. It's time for a small content update! We've added a new optional miniboss, Fly Twins, somewhere in the world for you to find and fight. We've also added a big batch of new achievements, both easy ones as well as some very challenging ones. Full change log:

• Added the new Fly Twins miniboss.
• Changed the location of Trash Key.
• Added 29 new achievements.
• Harmful liquid effects (poison, acid etc.) now don't get applied to you while dashing.
• Fixed a Soul Shrine softlock when an enemy would for any reason appear outside the arena.

This is a tiny patch that only fixes one crash that would sometimes occur when you continue a saved run. We're working on new features and content, and another proper update is coming soon. Stay tuned! Join us on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/cebQadnREq Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/antstookmyeye

Hey all! Being able to save, quit and continue a run was a feature that we've thought about even before launch but never really had the time to implement it properly. Now, after hearing lots of feedback from you all, we've found that this is easily one of the most requested features. Today, in update 1.4.0, it's finally here!

Save and quit

You can save and quit a run whenever you find a special altar, stand on it and interact with it. You'll find them at certain places of the world, namely all shops as well as the little nook after every main boss fight. You don't have to look for them, you'll run into all of them inevitably. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41408353/1e2a0a8b9e42cdc6e6dcc51eec9a189ed86eade2.png Remember that the altars are the only place you can safely save and quit in! If you die, end the run or quit the game by any other means, you'll lose your progress of that run. We've also utilized the save system to add another feature: If the game happens to crash mid-run, you can restore and continue the run when you start up the game again. You'll only have to start over the level you crashed in instead of starting over the entire run. Note that it is possible for the game to crash in an extraordinarily unexpected way so that even this feature won't be able to save your run, but it will work in 99% of the cases.

Changelog

In addition to the save and quit feature, we have some other smaller features and fixes. Here's the full changelog:

• You can now save and quit a run at certain places in the world and then continue that run later.
• If the game crashes, you can restore and continue the run when you start up the game again.
• You can now add in more players during a run while visiting any shop.
• Kicked players' belongings now spawn in a chest in the next shop.
• You can now swap controllers between two players in the pause menu.
• Reduced the number of enemies that Doctor spawns.
• Made all bosses immune to being stunned, staggered and unconscious.
• Added variation to Ant Hill Entrance and Hatching Chambers levels' layouts.
• Added a cooldown to Mato's bite attack so that you can't get stunlocked by getting eaten right after you pop out.
• Soul Statue now stops raising ghosts in special areas such as all boss areas and shrines.
• Increased Plasteel Knife's attack speed.
• Fixed an invisible chest spawning in Haymo's Hideout.
• Fixed some bosses not spawning any ammo boxes.
• A bunch of crash fixes.
• + Lots of miscellaneous bug fixes and visual/audio improvements.
