🔫 Gameplay & Content

• Complete weapon system overhaul:

  • Fixed loadout instead of procedural randomness.

  • Weapons can now be cycled via mouse wheel or stick press.

  • Available weapons: Standard MG, Minigun, Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher (more – including unconventional ones – are planned).

  • Added recoil, smoke and rumble effects for all weapons.

• Squad members now have specialized weapons fitting their role — positioning and strategy become more important.

• Crusher boss now uses its laser attack and spawns additional enemies. (Difficulty under observation, might be tuned later.)

• Berserkers trigger screenshake when enraged. (If the community prefers, future updates may include options to reduce or disable such effects.)

🛠 Fixes

• Fixed grenade throw direction when aiming with mouse.

• Fixed grenade charge speed — power now grows at the intended rate.

• Fixed Zulu’s walking sprite displaying incorrectly.

• Fixed a bug where the player sometimes took damage instead of a squad member.

⚡ Performance

• Code improvements should noticeably increase performance, especially on older systems.

• Squad AI optimized — both smarter and lighter on resources.

🏗 Development

• Project structure has been reorganized for faster content development in upcoming updates.

🔮 Coming Soon

• A smaller update will follow next week.

• Reason: I’m also setting up the official Cavedwarf Studios Discord server 🎉 so the community has a place to gather, chat and share feedback.
