Patch Notes for version 0.7.200 - "Onboarding"
New Features:
- Added Allied Server links - servers with a blue link between/around them must be hacked at the same time, and their minions are allied!
- Enemies are *much* better at climbing up things, and more of them can be active at once with
- Completely redid the tutorial, to help ease players into the game.
- Ziggurat buildings >>
- Added a loading screen with hints while buildings are spawning
- Added a glitch effect to the screen when the player takes damage. This can be disabled under Video Options
- Added more terrain types - now the world isn't just a flat plane with a single hill, it can have many hills of multiple types, as well as some steppes. More to come!
- Added "pie slices" to the controller inventory and shop menus, to really emphasize that it's a radial menu
- Added a scrollbar to the controller inventory and shop menus, so you can see how far down the list you are
Changes:
- Added a toggle option to stop menu movement
- Tutorial and UI now understands when you remap keys
- Reflections now are off by default, and require the highest quality setting. They severely affect performance, so try turning them off if you are having any lag at all.
- Only new characters go through the tutorial now. Any character can skip the tutorial, but you should do it at least once!
- Servers you hack, as well as the SHARK, now drop loot that you can either equip immediately or within 3 levels
- Toggle Heal items now scale 100% better with level!
- Enemy blood particles no longer glow so brightly in large quantity
- GITSfish are much better at pushing players out of the hack radius
- The player can jump higher by default
- The player can step over taller objects without issue
- The hack radius now "woops" out toward you when you start a hack
- There are less dangerous things near the spawn point, such as Dark servers.
- Items dropped by the player can be picked up faster, especially in single player
- The controller gui now shows item rarity colors
- Scrolling through items on a controller is faster now
- Buying an item with a controller while an empty slot is selected will attempt to equip the item immediately
- Shops can now be lots of different levels
Bug Fixes:
- The Puss-Puss super-rare unique minion no longer describes itself as a GITSfish
- The Kokinator unique shotgun now properly shoots both missiles AND fireballs
- GITSfish will no longer rocket players up into space
- The "Boosh" achievement will now only trigger from *player* mines
- Enemies can no longer fly after climbing a building
- Enemy lasers no longer make a loud annoying sound when the player dies or pauses the game
- Info box screens no longer stay visible after their server is hacked
- The UI no longer switches immediately to the mouse/keyboard UI when the mouse moves a tiny bit (like if the table shakes)
Known Issues:
- Servers spawning on steppes might hang over an edge a bit, it should be fine
