It's a wet hot Clockwork summer for us here at Realmsoft (no, I don't know what that means either), and alongside new trailers and showcases, we are also here to deliver piping hot demo updates, right off the grill.
As always, leave us a note on Discord if you run into any other issues or have any more suggestions!
Major Changes
Missile Launcher Alt Fire: Primed Shots
The missile launcher has been updated with an armor-busting alternate fire.
We felt the missile launcher needed a little bit of extra oomph and value-add, so we came up with the idea of an alternate fire mode. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
Map Improvements
Save points are now recorded on the map.
We're a big fan of the old-school save point system, but we did agree with folks that not tracking where those precious save points were on the map could be a bit stressful. So now they are! The map will see many more updates in the future.
Movement Key Rebinds
Keyboard players can now rebind movement controls.
This was honestly just something we ran out of time for with the original key rebinds patch. Rebindable keys is just a great feature for PC gaming, and we didn't want that to stop at movement keys. So now it doesn't!
Now, read on for the full list of changes!
