Hey there!
Quick little update to the beta branch here to introduce some new content (gimlet turrets!). These past couple updates also address one of the big issues with the game from day 1, which is the way the range and speed stats work.
Here's what's new:
- Hooked up gimlet turrets! They're good to go now. Each level of turret ignores a particular aspect of enemy defense (shells, armor, etc.). Available in world 3.
- Weapons now fire an infinite distance.
- Range now affects only the effective range of the weapon - where it does the most damage possible.
- Made tweaks to the crosshair color to better show when you're at the maximum effective range, and the minimum effective range.
- Increased the base player movement speed from 2.0 to 2.5.
- New item: the Rune of Tucana! This common rune heals you when your kill streak reaches a multiple of 16 (16, 32, 48, 64, etc.).
- Renamed the "Unlock" shop to the "Crafting" shop.
- Changed the slowed effect (and text!) from gray to violet.
- The weapons, rune, and consumable shops now only show those types of existing items in your inventory at the lower left corner.
- Added to the kamikaze and doomwalker descriptions to indicate that they explode when overkilled.
- Fixed items being unlockable in The Lab.
- Fixed objects not appearing in the proper location on the tab screen map.
- Sales in the unlock shop are now displayed the same as they are in the items shop.
We hope you're happy with the way range and speed work after these past couple updates. I know we are!
Thanks everyone!
