I can't believe Gearshifters released one week ago! Thanks to those who have provided thoughts and feedback on the game.
Version 1.0.1.1 is now available and contains the following updates:
- Collision damage from enemy vehicles and bosses rebalanced and lowered.
- Fixed an issue with combat attachments (front and side spikes, etc.) which meant that damage to the player car wasn't reduced.
- Damage dealt by player from front and side attacks is now slightly higher. And, modifiers from the combat attachments have been boosted.
- Fixed an issue where side collisions with Combustor might incorrectly result in fire damage from engine flames.
- Reduced toughness of Juggernaut boss trailers slightly
- Ashen Order's truck electro gun now fires a very narrow spread. (This is to make it less annoying, but let me know if this is now too easy.)
- Reduced damage very slightly from N.S.R.'s truck spread gun.
- Standard Machine Guns have a much higher chance of unlocking in the first cargo run.
- Failing a stage in Arcade mode now adds 20% health and ammo for the next attempt. (This is to address the potential frustration of having low health/ammo every restart.)
- D-pad can be used for in-game movement when a right-handed controller configuration is selected.
- Added version number visible on Options menu (bottom right of screen)
It isn't part of the build update, but I've also added a Steam controller configuration for SNES-style gamepads. This can be found in the community controller configs.
Current priorities for future updates are:
- Further balancing changes depending on feedback (taking into account feasibility and design fit.)
- More tweaks to Arcade mode (because it's still harder than I intended it to be!)
- Controller remapping support
- More usability options (Both for accessibility and game experience customisation)
- UI markers for Elite vehicles (so you know which ones are remaining)
- Bugfixes as and when required
NOTE: Where feasible I will always make the previous version of the build available. You can access this through Manage -> Properties -> Betas and enter "PREVIOUSBUILD" as the access code.
Thanks, and keep delivering those cargoes!
