January Update Is Here!

ray @ drifter.gamessteam_community_announcements

921d ago

The latest round of new content, improvements, and bug fixes is now available. Thank you to the community members who offered feedback suggestions, many of which have made it into this update. Additionally we're super grateful to all those who submitted bug reports on our official discord to help us track down and resolve pesky issues.

Checkpoints!

Checkpoint support for solo runs is finally here! Every return trip to the safe house creates a checkpoint which you can then use to resume at a later point. (community request) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/a508434f680d17dbf12d02b0f17c719653095177.png Please let us know if you encounter any issues or inconsistencies when resuming checkpoints!

Looting/Kiosk improvements

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/0703c0b57d175f522297c22d694eb6c76653502f.png Instead of only showing whichever one you're focused on, both options in a duo loot chest are now visible at the same time. This makes it much easier to decide which to pick, especially in the heat of battle. (community request) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/bcafc93552ec0f9b6080684a7174ba3d6b52a322.png Items in the upgrade and weapon kiosks can now be locked. This allows you to save an option for your return trip if you don't have enough cash on hand to purchase it immediately. Note that locked items prevent another item from being offered in the shop so you're trading off the chance of a rare RNG drop if you're locking items. (community request)

New weapons!

Six new weapons have been added across multiple tiers for you to find or purchase in the weapon kiosk. One of the first weapons is mid-range rifle called the Dart Rifle which applies a small damage-over-time effect in addition to the normal hit damage. Another weapon that is fantastic for crowd control is the Sonic Grenade which will stun enemies in the detonation radius - very useful for those hordes of scraps or sticky exploders. Also be on the look out for the Defender, Easy Shot Rifle, Volunteer and Commando SMG.

AI improvements and tweaks

AI have figured out how to open unlocked doors. Smarter every day! Improvements to how AI handle traversing down ledges - they should get hung-up far less often and make it down quicker on average. New changes with how different AI are populated through the levels to start adding more diversity in the encounters. Still very much a work in progress, expect to see more improvements here. Troopers with helmets now uniformly take less damage while the helmet is attached, but then take normal headshot damage afterwards. Knocking off a helmet will also provide a temporary armor break. Improved pathing updates for several AI but specifically for exploders so that they are more efficient in tracking their targets. Implemented a new method for tracking Windup's fight progression to resolve an issue with the teleporter sometimes not activating after picking up the juice tank. Fixed an issue with AI getting stuck to the player when melee attacking but getting knocked back (i.e. Nomad's bonk weapon will reliably knock back troopers and scraps).

Other improvements & bugfixes

New ghost dash and jump powers have been introduced into the basic pool. Ghost powers focus on enhanced mobility options, with ghost dash allowing you to pass through thin barriers and doors instantly for example. More ghost powers to come with future updates! Loot barrels now pop right away instead of having an awkward delay. Sometimes it's the small things. Shareable icons are hidden in various HUD elements if there's nobody to share with. Juice tanks now properly insert into the processor when playing in solo. Reduce min time for startup movies to play so that players can load into the game faster if loading completes before movies end by clicking to bypass them. Several improvements have been made to the base double jump along with a new animation plugged in. A new perk "Bloody Mess" is available for purchase in the kiosk. It significantly bumps up the blood and gibs, plus gives a small global damage boost. Added an option to suppress the Overdrive activation music has been added. (community request) Optimizations to Powerstation and Rubble to improve performance along with AI navigation. Moved the dead super objective in Downtown Zone B to the rooftops for a more balanced experience.

Experimental Build Notes (Updated 1/19)

The test branch has been updated with new changes planned for the next update, and is available via the "client_ptr" beta branch in Steam. As always please share any and all feedback on our official discord in #sv-feedback (⁠📝sv-feedback) or in the forums. Note: This build is a development build which has additional debug information to help us track down any issues / crashes and the like. Performance will be degraded compared to the official public build. The progress made with the test branch will not carry over to the public build.

Checkpoints!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/a508434f680d17dbf12d02b0f17c719653095177.png Checkpoint support for solo runs is finally here! Now every time you return to the safe house a checkpoint is created which you can then resume at a later point. Most things are working but there are still some kinks to work out (i.e. snacks). (community request) More fixes to checkpoints which resolves some issues with end of mission screens not functioning correctly if playing from a checkpoint. Also checkpoints are properly removed when abandoning a mission. Capturing more stats for checkpoints, working out a few more issues.

Experimental Build Notes (Updated 12/19)

963d ago

NOTE: This build is now live, thanks to everybody who helped out and provided feedback! The upcoming update is now available via the "client_ptr" beta branch in Steam. We're making this build available ahead of the official release to gather more feedback on the changes and to help track down any major issues before pushing live. Please share any and all feedback on our official discord in #sv-feedback (⁠📝sv-feedback) Note: This build is a development build which has additional debug information to help us track down any issues / crashes and the like. Performance will be degraded compared to the official public build. The progress made with the test branch will not carry over to the public build. Current changes:

Added night-time downtown and day-time powerstation variants in the unlockable timelines
Multiple AI have additional logic and fallbacks to ensure that they do not get permanently stuck outside of valid playspace (including Windup). Should address issues with Jarhead mission as well where sometimes all counted AI are not reliably engaging the players.
Experiment with a small double jump for all players before getting a jump power.
The dash melee attack will now trigger the basic version of any dash powers.
Experiment with a "Quick Run" option that shortens the timelines to provide a faster session. Additional juice and credits are awarded after the first room to help compensate for the missing power-ups that would be available in a longer run. Only available for solo currently. Disabling this for the moment to rethink a design that works better with UI / multiplayer.
Addressed a potential crash related to AI pathing as navigation geometry was being added/removed mid-session.
Improvements to all flying AI movement selection to ensure they properly engage the players even if beyond their ideal combat range, and avoid picking any points too close (or especially over top of the player). They are also more likely to stay closer within the eye level of the player instead of occassionally picking high points in the sky. (note: All flying AI is long overdue for an over-haul, and will be something to tackle in future updates.)
Fixed exploders not handling repeated movement failures correctly. They will now detect when unable to reach the player and will trigger the fallbacks to "unstick" themselves.
Experiment with allowing dash activation when about to land from a jump/fall, which will allow players to cancel out any potential fall damage if timed correctly.
Add option (found under gameplay options) to disable the auto-cover system
Backbone's damage immunity has been replaced with damage resistance so he can be minimally hurt with weapons/powers. Destroying the pustules is still the most effective method of taking him down quickly.
Backbone's reinforcements are smarter about joining the battle wherever Backbone is rather than the original spawn zone.

Version 1.0 Update (Full Release)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/30bc46e1962db4832e1b606a6d9b71e55c9f57e0.png The moment you've all been waiting for has arrived – Version 1.0 is here!

Utilize Renegade’s unique Taunt skills to keep high damage targets off of your allies and control the flow of the fight! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/255882ea221cf5232c7917328a8d3b9e3bfbc087.png

Introducing the Battlebook - an all new way to unlock new cosmetics, snacks, and characters! Battlebook items are unlocked via Battlebook Credits - a new in-game currency which is earned 1:1 with XP. Whether you're at the Max Level or still on the climb, you'll continue to rack up Battlebook Credits as long as you have items left to unlock in your Battlebook.

New Boss Fight: Smash & Dash

Smash and Dash are a pair of muscle bound brothers infected by the Xeno parasite who are ready to give you a serious workout! Their routine includes dodging high velocity barb wire, avoiding extra sharp cutlery, and generally running for your life! Fight Smash and Dash on Beta Earth. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43083488/7d4fbb20c6e485c5e30413f8f951269da7030077.png

Power Updates

Previously, we had been very strict about when players got certain powers, leading to somewhat stagnant builds over multiple runs. With this update, we are setting ourselves up for more build diversity by changing when we offer powers and tweaking existing ones.

Jump, Melee, and Dash powers are only guaranteed in the first Bar. After that, they are mixed in with the other augments, letting you pick and choose when you want to invest in new active powers, or double down on augments!
Powers that improve Xenos (such as Frenzied Xenos) now require you to have a source of Xenos before they can be acquired.
Armor Eater now requires the player to get Enhanced Metabolism before it can be acquired.
Hot Burn has been temporarily removed and will return in the future.
Flare Up has been reworked and now causes Lava puddles to deal more damage over their lifetime.
Wildfires has been updated to propagate on Burn applications and affect a greater radius of enemies.
Fork has been reworked and now causes Volt Disks to split after their first bounce.

Melee Improvements

Melee was always intended to be a primary pillar of Superior’s combat system, but it felt lacking compared to power and gunplay. This update aims to increase the depth of the melee system as well as make it a first class feature that benefits all characters. Key Updates

Dash Strike: Performing a melee at the end of a dash with performing a dash strike that propels you forward and damages enemies in your path.
Jump Strike: Performing a melee at the height of a jump will launch you up with a backflip, allowing you to get to greater height even without a Jump Power.
Light Melee 3 Hit Combo: Performing 3 subsequent light melee attacks ends in a finisher move that deals bonus damage.
Light Melee Magnetism: Light melee brings you into range of nearby enemies, ensuring your strikes hit their mark!
Hit Frames: Enemies damaged by melee are momentarily stunned, preventing them from slapping back.
Invincibility Frames: While performing melee, take reduced damage from other enemies, letting you stay in the fight!

New Feature: Gig Rerolls

Gig Rerolls can now be randomly obtained when completing regular runs. Gig Rerolls can be used to replace your current daily gigs, whether they are completed or not, giving you new targets to chase after for your next run!

Steam Updates

New local Solo Mode!
- Fastest way to play, no need to wait for match making or a game server to spin up! Great option if you have spotty internet or high latency.
- Balanced for a fun and challenging solo experience. Progress in solo is saved, so you can take your favorite character right into co-op with your friends!
Added first round of Steam Achievements, with more to come in future updates!
Steam players no longer compete against other players for cosmetics. Beat the challenge’s score and get rewards!

Characters & Skills

General

The early levels of the characters are super important to introducing players to the world of Superior. However, we felt that the early game skill trees didn’t offer new players enough ways to get over some early hurdles. With that in mind, the trees were rearranged and organized to offer more exciting decisions throughout the whole tree, giving players more build options from start to finish.

New Generic Skill: Self-Reliant - Start the run with 1 Self-Revive. Requires character Overdrive skill.
New Generic Skill: Luck of the Draw - Start every run with 3 store Rerolls. Works with the Juice Injector, Weapon Depot, and Upgrade Station in the bar. Requires Booster Lottery skill.
Cred Infusion moved to the early portion of the tree and reduced to one level. Requires character’s second skill.
Booster skills (such as Black Market Perks) are moved earlier in the tree and are optional.
Reduced the lag when unlocking skills.
The player can now right click a skill to refund a single skill point from that skill.

Ronin

Ronin is VERY fun, but his Overshield mechanics make him a little too powerful of a force to be reckoned with. Moving forward, Ronin will be getting tweaks to bring his survivability and damage more inline with Nomad and Murmur. The first change for this involves tweaking Kinetic Energy.

Swapped the position of Kinetic Energy and Overshield Burst
Changed Kinetic Energy to “Energizing Kills gives +3 Overshield for 3 seconds after performing an empowered melee, jump, or dash”.
Grandslam now reduces damage for each enemy it passes through.

Nomad

Nomad is dear to our hearts, but her skill tree decisions sometimes felt very lacking. Self-Revives offer a unique avenue for survivability, but by the final boss of a run she was often able to have more than she knew what to do with. With this update, we want to make her builds feel more intentional and give Nomad mains a more even experience over the course of the run.

New skill: Extended Mag - +10/20/30% magazine capacity on all weapons.
New skill: One in the Chamber - Crits have a 50/75/100% chance to add +1 ammo to your active weapons magazine.
New skill: Focus - While aiming, Crits deal +15/25/35% bonus damage, non-crits deal -50% damage.
New skill: Eyes in the Sky - While aiming, shooting at downed allies below you uses a self-revive on them. Start the run with +2 self-revives.
Changed Not Today to "If you have less than 1/2/3 self-revives when you return to the bar, gain +1 self-revive”.
Changed Personal Pharmacy to “Whenever you use a self revives, there is a 10/20/25% chance that it is not consumed”.
Changed Crit Laser to “Orbital Laser has a 25/50/75% chance to Crit, and refreshes its duration if the target dies.”
Increased Critical Damage I crit bonus from 5/10/15% to 10/20/30%.
Rearranged many skills on the tree.
Removed Crit Cred, Critical Damage II, Not Today II, and Target Practice.

Murmur

Replaced Carbon Copy with Crazy Slots - “Your holograms spawn with a random weapon based on the current threat level”.

Bug Fixes

Improved AI in many ways
Improved blind firing with charge weapons from cover
Improved weapons clearing cover objects when firing from behind cover
Overmind now ragdolls on death
Cinematics now properly play on Steamdeck
