Patch 1.0.8 - Patch notes
these are going to be longer patch notes, so tighten your ships seat belts, put on your headphones with some nice beats and lean back. First, the two biggest feature updates
New Upgrade Screen
New Controls menu with customizable controls There were bugreports and feedback on the community hub and via the official Discord server which I invite anyone to join to get some updates while I work on new features or just give me direct feedback! Here is a Link to the Discord Server. THANK you very much for helping me with detailed reports - those make finding those nasty bugs much, much easier! This patch is not just including bugfixes and features. My original intent was to do so - but to be honest, seeing videos of people reaching wave 300+ that were in a pretty broken state made me sad. Altough this patch introduces balancing changes, the leaderboard will not be reset for the moment! My plan is to reset the leaderboards with the next patch - as the next patch will introduce new, gameplay changing - features and new upgrades. This will also give me a chance to do more, smaller balancing fine tuning until the reset.
A) Would you like to see the leaderboard being completely reset. B) Have some way to look at legacy leaderboards when a reset is happening or a "season" ends? With all of this said, let's continue with the patch notes and have fun with the new version! Cheers Raffa
