Hey Bombers,
I hope you've been having a nice summer! It's been quite hot and humid so far in New York, but hopefully some of you are in more comfortable places.
This is basically our biggest structural update before adding new in-game content. In other words, we welcome a few long overdue additions:
Steamworks Integration
Bomber Barn now has support for Steam features! Right now, that means:
- stats
- achievements
- Steam Cloud saves
We're starting with 1 achievement for now - more to come!
Steam Cloud support is used to sync your progress in the game, such as which maps and outfits you've unlocked.
*** Please note that your save file will almost certainly no longer be loaded correctly. ***
The next time you launch Bomber Barn, you'll start from scratch.
*** To fix this, we've included a top secret cheat code you can enter at the title screen to receive 200 coins. ***
Hopefully this lets you re-unlock everything you had before. Check the end of this post for the code!
Custom Controls
You are no longer forced to use the stock control scheme. If you want to, say, assign Drop Bomb to the Right Bumper on your controller, now you can! Simply go to Controller Setup, join in, and you'll automatically be prompted to set your Drop Bomb and Special Ability buttons.
Various Text Enhancements
The Sudden Death countdown is a bit more prominent now:
The "chapter title" on the bottom-left corner of the Tutorial used to show up incorrectly on Windows, which should be fixed now. Also, the "Exit Tutorial" text prompt animates slightly as a visual hint when it's over.
Added Settings
You can now set some basic graphics settings in the game, like Quality Level and Fullscreen Mode.
Added Credits
Of course, we always give credit where credit is due. The Main Menu now has a Credits section where you can find out all about the awesome people who helped make Bomber Barn possible!
Thanks for reading this far into the update! Here's the secret cheat code below. Be sure to enter it carefully; you'll hear a coin sound if it works.
