Tornado: Research and Rescue · published
This update brings a LOT of change (v0.26.0) - the biggest is that this build will make your game ready for the Red Truck DLC releasing on Friday! This DLC will give you both a great looking 90's era truck as well as the ability to chase with two probes - twice as much data, twice as many chances to deploy successfully!
The next biggest change is that the map generator was massively optimised and can now generate 100km maps in less than one second. The career mode map is now 50x50km instead of 20x20km, and Sandbox mode will allow you to generate maps up to 100x100km!
Motion blur can be disabled in settings
There is now a 'Global Volume' and 'Engine Volume' setting slider in the settings menu (Press 'esc' while playing)
The vehicles now have 7 gears instead of 5, so no more continuous high-pitched revving
Emissive materials are enabled on the trucks now, so the lights will visibly illuminate (except for the main headlights on the yellow truck, there's a little materials glitch which I will fix in a minor patch hopefully tomorrow)
Tornadoes now have different "profiles" (wedge, rope, cone, stovepipe etc) and the debris cloud rendering changes accordingly
Post-processing has been adjusted to increase the lighting/exposure slightly, hopefully increasing the general visibility and ease-of-use in-game
If you like the look of the truck, please consider adding it to your wish list to be notified when it's released on Friday!
As always, enjoy! :)
