Update Info

The 0.11.12 update is available now and is focused mainly on bug fixes but also adds a new Scenario modifier called 'Lights Out'

Lights Out Modifier

The Lights Out modifier turns all Scenario levels pitch black except for a short range light cast from the player. You'll need to slow down to make your way around the levels in the dark and you often won't see enemies until they're right on top of you.
The Lights Out modifier can also be combined with the other modifiers like 'TOP DOWN' and should pair well with future modifiers ideas like changing all the humans in the Scenarios into zombies or other creatures for a real horror experience. [previewyoutube=J095OXiMD9E;full][/previewyoutube] We've also made some slight changes to the mouse aiming and crosshair system in the TOP DOWN modifier gameplay to make aiming more intuitive, and the Mouse Sensitivity setting from the Options menu will now affect that mode. You might find your desired sensitivity for TOP DOWN is different from the regular first person gameplay though.

Level Editor Changes

We've also made some additions to the Level Editor mainly in the form of the Necromancer boss and the Dark Skeleton from 'The End' fight in Beneath now being available to use in Workshop levels. We've also fixed an issue with the 'Unbreakable Bones' option added in the last update and any level made since that update that used the option might need to re-enable it. A couple of new character animations have also been added to the Level Editor and we'll be adding the majority of the Beneath Facility animations soon, likely in the next update. While working with extremely large and dense levels will still be challenging, some optimisation work has gone into making some aspects of editing massive levels a little faster in some cases.

Bug Fixes

We'll be continuing to focus on bug fixes over the coming updates. Thanks to the community members that joined the most recent Twitch development streams to help identify some bugs and how to reproduce them. We'll be continuing to fix bugs on these streams. Check and follow the pinned Steam forum topic for stream times if you'd like to join in. Notably this update there are some navmesh issues fixed in the Beneath Islands area which would cause bugged grouping of enemies and props as well as issues with the boss island placement and enemies. Time has also gone into trying to reduce the possibility of weapons getting stuck in a state where they cannot be picked up after being thrown. Check the changelist below for the full list of additions and fixes in this update.
