Swarmslam Demo v0.4.0 - The Playtest Patch

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Well, time has come for playtest, so I shall submit one final patch note before it begins.

ACCESSIBILITY

Added a little bit more details for the Flashing lights settings control. The separate screen drop has been merged with a new one regarding Photosensitivity that appears in the intro sequence

INTRO SEQUENCE

Soo, I have added an intro sequence. It currently includes few things:

  • Language selection screen - before, this was never "put" in front of you so you'd have to explicitly go to the settings and change it there, now the setting lives before anything else. Once you select language once, this wont appear in the intro sequence

  • Photosensitivity warning and first-time optional tweak - As mentioned above, this has been improved.

  • A simple "made by ..." screen with a dad-joke level pun.

DESKTOP COMPANION

Got a suggestion on Reddit to add this as an option, soo now Swarmslam can be played in Desktop Companion mode. You need to be in Windowed resolution and then its a toggle.

SKILL TREE

A simple change, UI buttons for skill tree loadouts have been updated from simple symbols to proper glyphs.

Once again, thanks for playing! See you in Playtest.

NUMBERS Last patch I mentioned that numbers would stop at naneinf . Well initial playtest proved that it indeed did stop at naneinf, however it was so easily achievable that it kind of soft locked some of the save files. Soo now we go past naneinf, into the area of BigNums , inspired by one of the Balatro mo…
