We're unveiling a new map this week to celebrate the New Year! Welcome to the world of Melody, a black and white world bathed in monochromatic neon. This map is available for play in the AI Mode, Matchmaking, and the Puzzle Mode that we're releasing next month.
Today's shout-out goes out to one of our Discord users who goes by the name ROCKY. A week ago, ROCKY let us know about a strange bug seen in Demo Room where ships could not be selected that could have a variety of symptoms for new users. So thank you ROCKY! We've fixed the bug now, so new players should be able to have a great experience. If some reason you recently bought the game and saw any of these issues, please give it a second chance before you send a bad review :) We're working as hard as we can (note that it IS Christmastime even, but this patch was prioritized)
In addition to this fix, I added a couple other pieces of polish:
• Many of you complained about the repetitive ship noises. We took note and now I better localized the ship sounds. You will only hear ships crashing, firing, and building when within a certain radius, with a smooth dropout zone. Now the sounds should be more realistic and fall off when stepping away from the action. AKA less annoying :)
• Victory screens now trigger a blue wash-over to let the user know that they won the game.
• The laser pointer was disappearing behind the map menu UI, a layering sprite issue that I cleaned up.
• Medic speed increased to match Fighter so that it can follow more smoothly.
