  • New Melee weapon:

    • Hug - Grabs any unit in front. Grabbed unit can be carried a small distance and/or thrown

  • New Placed weapon:

    • Power Milk - Offer to any unit to increase its next turn's damage by 100%. Breaks if no target is hit

  • New Gun weapon:

    • Scattergun - Damages everything in a cone and applies Bleeding Modifier

  • New Modifier:

  • Added various additional voice and sfx effects to equip/modifier activate/weapon 2nd effect events

  • Added new "SaF logo" practice map

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

  • Placed weapon category rework:

    • All weapons in this category are now unconditionally placed in front of the firing unit (was previously thrown a small distance)

    • Objects will now always land on firing unit's feet even if standing near wall/other units

    • Consumable subtype weapons will automatically be consumed by eligible overlapping targets

  • Switched sprite-based initial explosion radius sampling to deterministic radius for every explosive (previously smaller sized objects would not deliver full expected - damage despite perfect placement next to enemy)

  • Increased Death Explosion radius and fling

  • Guns no longer grant post-fire grace on final/single shots

  • Slingshot now accepts pressing fire to arm and pressing fire again to release, in addition to holding fire

  • Slingshot is now priority input when unit is attempting to use it with a weapon equipped

  • Medkit ammo count increased to 2

  • Pen default timer is now 5s

UI/VISUAL CHANGES

  • Added first iteration of Local Match main menu entry with the following configurables:

    • Terrain Type

    • Player Count

    • Team Ownership

    • Matches To Win

    • Starts First

  • Added first iteration of Options menu with the following configurables:

    • Resolution/Aspect Ratio/Window Mode

    • Master/Music/SFX/Voice sliders

    • Pause Game On Focus Loss button

  • Weapon charging indicator is now curved and grows upward instead of to the sides

  • Various main panel/popup elements now inherit extra accent coloring from the main screen background

  • Reworked camera zoom to operate like a curve - more gentle on near zooms, more aggressive on far zooms

  • Increased camera tracking margins by 5% (zoom out is now earlier to track action)

  • Opening inventory now counts as a turn-starting action

  • Active units' overhead label now stays in place while overlapping labels are offset, instead of previous even displacement

  • Slingshot now displays a buff icon when eligible for use, instead of tiny world text

  • Weapon inventory now displays category labels

  • Improved the way objects are displayed at far zooms

  • Majority of objects now have thicker outlines

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed various unit on unit collision issues when units are different sizes (i.e. level 1 colliding with level 2 unit, etc.)

  • Creature type weapons can no longer spawn by teleporting out when placed against a wall

  • Crates can no longer get flattened while falling from terrain

  • Fixed Fire Strike having infinite ammo (now 1)

  • Placed weapon types can no longer get stuck on units' sides instead of hitting ground, direct placements from above still work as expected

  • Land Mine:

    • Fixed Land Mine not having infinite ammo

    • Land Mine is no longer a crate spawn

    • Land Mine now properly sticks to terrain

  • Fixed direct hits not delivering full expected damage

  • Fixed Grenade weapon using icon art for sprite instead of object sprite

  • Fixed main menu panel/popup backgrounds sometimes deriving wrong tint from the main screen background

MINOR CHANGES

  • Terrains in practice mode are now properly named instead of being just numbers

  • Music/Voice internal volume defaults are now 0.75 instead of 1 (in game options unaffected, meaning the 0.75 is 100% as in-game volume slider)

  • Moved Sniper Rifle inventory position further back, as it is a level gated weapon

  • Samson Hammer grew a mullet

  • Improved throw/place/use audio effect to have less delay

  • Correction from 0.1.1 - placed objects do not, in fact, have a timer (and are not supposed to)
