DEMO UPDATE #5 - v0.5.1

PATCH NOTES - v0.5.1

🚨CRASHING UPDATE🚨

I updated the level initialization logic to hopefully help prevent crashes when loading into Ridge Town. This change causes the level to load incrementally over many frames instead of doing it all in the starting frame. I don't know the exact cause of the crashes quite yet, but I suspect it has to do with trying to load and initialize everything in the level all in one go which might cause RAM usage to max out.

I'll be closely monitoring this. If your game crashes, please re-open the game to automatically submit a crash report. This will help me nail down the crashing issue, so please re-open the game after a crash (you can then close the game from the main menu or continue playing)

⭐QOL⭐

  • You can now loot and move items while reloading. If you see any funky behavior with moving items or magazines while reloading your gun, please report them in the Discord or here on Steam

  • Scrapping a gun automatically unloads it first so you no longer lose the ammo that was in it when scrapping

🔵OTHER🔵

  • Adjusted spawn rate for non-runner type zombies to be lower

  • Adjusted some item's categories to better match their use (Cigarettes and Cigars are now chemical items instead of basic items, Spotlight is now electrical instead of basic, etc.)

  • Adjusted Ergonomic values for Shotguns and SMG's

    • Shotguns: +10

    • SMG's: -10

🐞BUGFIXES🐞

  • Fixed a bug that caused High Value Target body bags to not show up on the compass if you haven't looted it yet
