Update Info

For this update we've put together a short video showing some of the key new features and changes in this version. [previewyoutube=iny2qgElJP8;full][/previewyoutube] The key points shown in the video are:

• New Pirate Cove music
• Females in Biker Bar, Disco and Pirate Cove
• Pegleg and hook hand characters in the Pirate Cove (and Level Editor)
• The backend new voxel collision system
• The crosshair is now accurate for projectile weapons
• Level Editor: Scalable primitive shapes
• Level Editor: Zombies, Tentacle Mutants and Crabs have been added
• Level Editor: Groupable objects
• Level Editor: The new Primitive shapes can be attached to Waypoint paths
• Level Editor: Locked door and key system
• Level Editor: Customisable Point Light object

In addition to what's shown here, there has been a very significant rework to character rendering and along with the new collision system for voxels and weapons, this has meant there are both a lot of subtle changes to the game as well as the potential for new bugs. We'll be fixing any new issues that have arisen in this update due to these changes and have spent the past week solely testing and addressing many of these issues. These changes are a necessary step to allowing for significant optimisations and you might already experience improved performance depending on your hardware. While there is still work to do on the new collision system, you should find that the response from enemies is generally more accurate and usually has 1 frame less delay than before. If you do have any new major issues with this version please let us know and in the mean time you can run the last version by choosing the 'previousversion' branch accessible from the game's properties in Steam under the "BETAS" tab which has been set to older 0.10.4 version. We've fixed a number of bugs and have made other changes which are in the full changelist below.

Upcoming
