Hey everyone here is update 5.31. The two big things in this build are the level 3 mini boss and key binding support. We have also been working on a lot of non gameplay things like controller support so the game is ready for its Steam release this summer!! A bunch of new sound stuff is in the works. We are really excited to show you more, the new sounds will be coming soon in update 5.4. Have Fun!
Visuals
- (Mini)Boss door addons blend into the fog colour better
- The players' aiming indicator stops when it hits a wall
- Log (Coming Soon) removed from main menu
Audio
- Some audio system changes have been put in place to prepare for future song features.
- Long, trailing notes will no longer layer on top of one another
- The player’s song now plays at 100 bpm between bouts of combat. Entering combat rooms will return the song to the old 120 bpm.
- There is now a sound for picking up bits
Features
- A new miniboss has been spotted in level 3 wreaking havoc!
- Dodge is now bound to both space bar and the right mouse button by default
- Pausing the game is now tied to both esc and tab, so you can pause in web builds without exiting fullscreen
- Key bindings are now available in the options menu
- Gamepad support took a big leap forward in this update, although there is still more work to be done.
Balance
- Enemy health scaling dropped 10% between levels
- Hive Worms spawn sooner in the Hive and Cross Turrets spawn later
- Cross Turrets, Sappers and Snipers limited to 3 per room
- Machine Gunner range reduced by 50%
- Line Shooter shots spread
- Each cycle of levels increases the range of enemy shots
- Queen Bee’s swarmling projectiles have had their hit colliders adjusted to be more precise
- Queen Bee’s swarm beams are more consistent and easier to predict. It is now impossible to have an unavoidable swarm beam pattern
- The first two rooms of the first floor have a massively improved chance of dropping notes. It is now very unlikely to reach the third room of the game with fewer than 5 notes
- Minibosses drop health instead of a note if the player is down to 1 health
- Level 1’s minibosses start their laser attack further from the player so the laser will never appear on top of players that move towards the firing angle
- Level 3’s bosses will accelerate when moving to prevent unavoidable damage
Bug Fixes
- The audio changes listed above have fixed the audio issues that could occur in WebGL builds that could cause ‘sound overloads’
- Queen Bee’s minions can no longer drop in outside the playable room area
- Shops should no longer allow players to go over the note cap (24)
