Bandits v1.1.0 is up on Steam! I've spent some time tinkering, fixing, and improving a lot of stuff all over the place!
General
- Added Spanish localization! (¡SI SEÑOR QUE BIEN!)
- Added a couple of Steam Achievements!
- Moved game to the latest version of UE4 for increased performance and stability!
- Many, MANY, tweaks all over the game.
Gameplay
- Created a 16th challenge, so now every character has 2!
- I made all kinds of changes in almost all other Solo Missions as well!
- Alexandra Basic Attack: 25% less cooldown and 25% less damage, and 5 ammo instead of 3.
- Fixed quite a lot of small bugs on many Solo Missions.
- Ai Enemies no longer attack things they shouldn't, nor do they get stuck anymore.
- The really big enemy turrets now have more boss-like patterns of attack.
- Reviewed all the text and made some tweaks here and there. (Had to reviewed them anyway to make the Spanish translation)
Performance
- Static Mesh Streaming, meaning geometry out of sight is unloaded from memory, and only loaded when needed.
- Rigged stuff cheaper to compute
- Shader permutation reductions: Game is a bit easier on the GPU!
With this patch I consider Bandits complete. I won't keep adding any more new stuff to it. But if any bugs or issues are reported I will fix those for sure!
Btw, do you know why the game is played by the chickens?? Because they're running a simulation, dude! It was all fake!
I will keep working on the Bandits franchise! Bandits: Enter the Fray will be the next entry on the Bandits universe!
