Demo Version 0.200.3589 - Release Notes


Changes

- Art: Grenades will now show different visuals depending on whether they are enemy or player grenades. This is to better communicate if a grenade contributes to a combo and whether a grenade will be affected by the Friendly Fire Escalation Protocol.

- Art: Show icon in world on player death that indicates reason for death.

- Gameplay: Changed tech targeting rules so that special (previously hazard) tiles are always valid targets for the player

- Gameplay: Dash Vactics can now move when they are on cooldown. This cooldown behaviours consistent across enemies.

- Gameplay: Implemented a new discrete ending point for the demo.

- Gameplay: Ranged Vactics and Dash Vactics can now destroy buildings with their attacks.

- Gameplay: Reduced cooldown between attacks for Grenade Vactics by 1.

- Gameplay: Removed redundant Target Special Tiles mod from game as rule changes made it redundant.

- Presentation: Added new option to the settings screen to run transitions between levels at faster speeds.

- Presentation: Generally sped up the transition speeds between levels by shortening or removing some repeated elements.

- UI: the re-centre button on the map now will only show when the player has scrolled away from the mech on the map. This will prevent instances where it can be pressed but nothing will happen.


Bugfixes

- Fixed visual flickering that could between enemy and shield visuals.

- Made some changes to audio file path lengths in project to reduce chance that previous unzip issues will occur.
