Summer Update v0.5.0

Content

• "Super Smash 'Bos" — a dedicated terminal in Hobo Command that lets you queue up for a PvP stock battle against your friends. It's only a matter of time before the Nintendo thugs come for our kneecaps.
• "Hobo With A Shotgun" — a new level where you relive Moldy Mac's second most traumatic life event.
• "Hail to the Grub" — a new level where you ferry a cute yet demanding world leader across the wasteland on a 20th century bicycle.
• "Healing Drone" — a new umbilicus-wielding actor that infuses allies with meat slurry.
• "Soup Can-non" — a new legendary arm for the Ex-Cop to unlock. I doubt this is what the soup kitchen had in mind when The M.A.N. promised to automate soup dispensation.
• "Ground Pounders" — a new pair of legs for the Unlicensed Plumber that are good for… pounding the ground, I assume.
• "Girder Gams" — a new pair of legs for the Freelance Construction Worker that build girders underfoot when double jumping.
• "Rocket Skis" — a new pair of legs for the Disqualified Athlete that gotta go fast.
• The tutorial has been revamped to further emphasize the transience of limbs.
• Content updates, logic tweaks, and visual improvements to many other levels.

Features and VFX

• Many objects (explosive barrels, power cores, ropes…) are now grabbable with the interact button, removing the need to equip specific hands to grab them.
• AI can now aim lobbed objects and saw blades with uncanny accuracy.
• Added a dedicated ragdoll button (Q on keyboard, LB on controller). Flop away, friends.
• Explosions, liquids, and death spikes all got various graphical improvements.
• Certain enemies can now be dismantled layer by gruesome layer.
• Improved new-player experience by adding some quest markers to Hobo Command.

Bugfixes and Polish

• Speech bubbles are generally smarter when it comes to positioning, rotation, and visibility.
• Fixed bug where zombies were Naruto running instead of forward-arm shambling.
• Various performance improvements for the level editor, improving its framerate when there are many objects.
• Made many hard-to-see platforms a bit easier to see.
• The settings menu is properly controller compatible.
• Made some interactable objects higher priority than others, improving situations where they overlap in the game world.
• Improved camera logic to make it less jerky.
• Improved the behavior of destructible objects.
• Addressed a few crashes caused by questionable physics math.
• Overwatch Sentries tweaked to be more predictable and more deadly.
• Fixed bug where dangerous liquid wasn't dangerous enough to actually destroy your head or torso.
• Vehicles are generally more stable and less likely to get stuck in level scenery.
• …and many more we don't have the space for here.

Editor

• Added a built-in file browser for levels and chunks. It's now much easier to add, organize, find, and delete the content you've made.
• Triggers now have built-in delay and oneshot parameters, making it much easier to achieve those behaviors.
• Added native icon support to the UI — icons throughout the game should look a lot crisper and more uniform.
• Added a level name generator.
• Improved framerate when there are many objects on screen at once.
