Version 0.08 Update

🛡️ Systems & Mechanics

• Fog of War System

  • Added purple particles and electronic distortion visual effects (Voronoi grid, noise-driven drift, scanlines, RGB channel splitting, etc.)

  • Fixed fog not shrinking after demolishing buildings (added UnregisterVisionSource in demolish path)

  • Fixed vision shrink animation not playing (targetChanged check now only on first frame of animation)

  • Changed vision expand/shrink animation to a single-stage 1-second linear interpolation

  • Optimized purple particle parameters (drift speed ×20, radius 80px, density 5%)

• Finite Resource Mechanic

  • Implemented per-cell resource reserves (Gears 1500, Scrap 3500, Crystals 500, Dimensional Solvent infinite)

  • Adjacent cell bonus formula for reserves; when depleted, cycle extended 4× and efficiency reduced to 25%

  • Added cfg_MapPassType.ResourceTotal field and global config parameters

  • Infinite resource output when the finite resource switch is turned off

• Buff System

  • Configured new effect buff system; fixed icon positioning, bullet stack count, slow/damage modifier anomalies

• Entity ECS Transition

  • Resolved ECS-related issues: unit shadows not following, attack flash not resetting on rebuild, frame animation not playing, movement locked during reload/charge, unit overlapping, shadow orientation

  • Added entity message list

• Flow Field & Pathfinding

  • Fixed flow field pathfinding anomalies and units turning around to attack targets behind them

  • Fixed flow field not refreshing correctly when paths are blocked

  • Changed building footprint logic in flow field to increased traversal cost

  • Removed separate flow field logic for siege units

• Combat & Damage

  • Walls block line of fire; only ballistic/arc attacks can pass over walls

  • Fixed unit range calculation (now accounts for own and target volume)

  • Fixed explosion damage types (now supports all 4 types); fixed duplicate explosion effects at bullet expiration

  • Fixed units being launched at extreme speed when pushed into buildings

  • Improved melee target acquisition logic (range < 200)

  • Fixed active attack mode not working

  • Optimized weapon target acquisition performance (no longer checks all targets every frame after acquiring)

• Lifespan & Death System

  • Fixed unit not dying when attack count depleted, progress bar showing when max lifetime is 0, enemy health bar overlapping lifespan bar

🎮 Gameplay & Content

• New Buildings

  • Repair Engineering Tower levels 1/2/3 (with repair functionality, animations, textures)

  • Shield Generator Tower levels 1/2/3

• New Features

  • Repair function and salvage function fully implemented (laser rendering, effect refreshing, sidebar display)

  • Barrier calculation logic corrected to shield damage; fixed barrier display not being removed on death

  • Fixed-direction attack for units (whole unit faces target, turret does not rotate independently)

  • Flame turret fire effect, Lightning turret slow effect

  • Item configuration / Tech Tree / Archive buttons with tooltip pop-ups

• Missions & Waves

  • New mission 1-2 “Network Hub”

  • Wave notification system fully implemented (wave icons, WaveInfoSidebar, performance optimization)

  • Polished mission 1-1 spawn configuration and resource distribution

• Teleport & Upgrades

  • Teleport spatial distortion shader effect

  • Removed construction time after teleporting buildings

  • Upgrade animation; refund resources if building destroyed mid-upgrade

  • Enhanced upgrade stat display; rebuildable building icons

🎨 UI & Visuals

• Animation & VFX

  • Procedural animation: fixed ping-pong loop type; target position/offset logic changed to function-curve direction; support for playing all animation groups on the same entity

  • New VFX: dimensional teleport effect, medium unit death explosion, turret firing effect, artillery barrage impact, unit death decal remnants

  • Charge weapon charge effect display; minimum animation protection time for pulse laser

  • Fixed weapon not switching to idle animation after losing target, and charge/attack flash conflicts

  • Glow effect on decorations, entities, and damage sources

  • Remastered energy barrier destruction visuals

• UI Display & Polish

  • Resource reserve UI (reserve amount, depletion warning, real-time updates, style optimization)

  • Reserve UI layer adjustment and particle texture separation from UI node

  • Weapon idle orientation: friendly turrets no longer return to default angle, enemy units still return

  • Shortcuts for Upgrade/Teleport/Salvage (F/G/X) and blueprint copy (Ctrl+Click)

  • Shortcut list displayed in settings

  • Animation progress bar visual polish

• Shaders & Materials

  • Salvage/Repair/Hit flash shaders now edge-only instead of full-body flash

  • Fixed unit damage texture briefly disappearing on hit

  • Laser beam meshes changed from flat line to cylinder for rounded ends

🔧 Fixes & Optimizations

• Core Fixes

  • Fixed weapon layer obstructing effects, health bars, and construction preview

  • Fixed building placement breaking after Alt+Tab (physical mouse state detection for stuck _isMouseLeftDown)

  • Fixed middle-mouse camera drag after Alt+Tab

  • Fixed barrier not removed when entity destroyed

  • Fixed charge weapon triggering hit flash while charging; movement-locked units moving during charge

  • Fixed explosion damage type, bullets not disappearing on kill, mission not completing

  • Fixed resource building config error, missing “insufficient resources” tooltip for items/upgrades

  • Fixed map editor decorations not showing/deletable (InstanceId duplicate detection), region paint data loss

  • Fixed upgrade progress detection causing frame spikes (IsInstanceValid guard)

  • Fixed lingering textures

• Performance Optimizations

  • Optimized weapon target acquisition, first blueprint selection lag, combat opening animation

  • AttributeComponent – flattened attributes + batch regen

  • VFX optimization (object pools, try-catch with Time.GetTicksMsec())

  • Wave sidebar pooling, Area2D→Node2D, precomputed sine lookup table

• Other Fixes

  • Procedural animation multi-group playback, weapon spread angle, unit turn speed/move speed not applying

  • Fixed armor value not working; knockback values increased ×10 to match increased enemy mass

  • Fixed full-health item hiding lifespan bar; shortcut reverting to cancel mode when resources insufficient

  • Fixed salvage resource rate not tracked, salvage structure not detecting existing wrecks, miner placement detection
