SAVING, NEW SHIP AREAS, SHOP RE-BALANCING, AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

CHANGES

• Saving:

  • You asked for 'saving.' I don't know what that means, but our boys in the company figured it out and crammed the entire known universe onto a VHS tape. Once you load it? Gone. The tape eats the data itself. That's not a bug, that's a feature. Storage is expensive. Side effects may include spontaneous species reassignment.

    • You can save anytime, once per round

    • You can only load on round 1

    • Save is deleted after being loaded

    • You might experience some species swap

• Ship:

  • Ship now contains a basement.

  • You wanted a mirror. Mirrors are for bathrooms. Our engineers built the Ultimate Camera 3000 instead, it does everything a mirror does, plus things a mirror shouldn't. If it starts glowing orange, that's normal. If YOU start glowing orange, you've got about four seconds.

• Shop:

  • I've cut a deal with our fellow STAN and decreased store prices:

    • Skates decreased to 15

    • Spring decreased to 10

    • Spray decreased to 5 (+ 100 decals allowed now)

    • Shield increased to 75

    • And other items decreased / increased prices.

• World Generation:

  • Fixed world generation not using all possible templates.

  • Fixed contracts not calculating the scrap & reward required

  • Added slime back, as a variant to the chicken!

• Optimizations:

  • Increased performance on train

  • Increased performance on city

  • Increased performance on apartments (sadly the 3000 degree area had to go)

  • Forgot to properly config LOD, so now that should work :P

  • Connecting players should lag less when joining! Hopefully this fixes the "player crashes after joining with 3 other players"

• Solo players:

  • Increased auto respawns to 2

• Linux fixes:

  • Some linux versions were not properly reporting their screen size, there is a fallback now.

More content & optimizations to come soon (can only do so much solo developing)! Thanks again everyone for playing my silly yeen game, it's really motivating <3

CONTROLLER IMPROVEMENTS, SHADOW QUALITY, GENERAL BUGFIXES, SERVER BROWSER IMPROVEMENTS

CHANGES

  • Added controller vibration support

    • Total Servers (capped at 200).

    • Number of Full Servers.

    • Number of "In-Progress" Servers.

    • CHEATS tag if cheats are activated

  • NOTE: The list automatically filters out Full and In-Progress servers to help you find a server faster.

  • (Working on adding support for Mid-Round joining)

• Map Generation:

  • Moved the pipe on the city elevator so players don't get stuck on it

  • Fixed weird dither effect on some of the dead ends in the apartments map

  • Fixed apartments elevator not killing the player properly

  • Fixed crusher not properly killing players

• Training:

  • Fixed when accepting a invite while on "training" it does not join the invitee properly, and requires clicking "join" again (on mainmenu).

Thanks for the continued bug reports <3. If you find any new ones, please report them on Discord or the Steam Discussions!
