1.1.19 - Balance + Stability Update

I'm experimenting with some new content for TowerFall, but I took a break to put together this quick update. It's mostly about tying up loose ends, on both the design and tech sides of the game :) We've got one new variant: Regenerating Shields. It should help beef up the 3v1 juggernaut matches that seem to be popular lately. I'm excited to see what else it gets used for. Balance changes include some tweaks to the Backfire levelset, and an important change to how Bottomless Treasure works that should improve 1v1 tournament play. For stability I've improved the replay recording to help performance on weaker machines. See below for details! Thanks for playing, and keep the feedback coming. -Matt The full changelog: Gameplay:

New variant: Regenerating Shields
Powerups spawned from the bottomless treasure chest will now timeout and despawn after 5 seconds
Rebalanced a few Backfire versus mode level layouts
Removed Start with Super Bomb Arrows from the random variants pool

Stability:

Went back to using XNA on Windows
Added option to set replay recording mode: Use GPU, Use CPU, or Off. Use GPU is now the default (was previously done on CPU) and should be faster on most systems
Added option to disable controller rumble
Added option to disable controller discovery, and removed startup argument that did the same thing. If you were using the startup argument, you'll have to go to the options menu to disable it again
Fixed the Matt Makes Games intro being out of sync with the music when vsync is disabled

TowerFall Ascension is the definitive version of the hit archery combat game. Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, it's a 4-player local party game centering around hilarious, intense versus matches. The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master and combat is fierce. Loot treasure chests for game-changing power-ups, master the art of catching arrows out of the air, or descend on your foes and stomp them into submission. TowerFall is best played competitively with friends, cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.

New in Ascension is the 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode. Players work together, fighting off a variety of monsters and enemy archers across the land of TowerFall. It's a new adventure to explore when you don't have more friends handy to square off against.

New features in TowerFall Ascension include:

Brand new 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode
50 additional Versus arenas, for a total of 120 unique maps
More game-changing power-ups, such as Drill Arrows that burrow through walls
4 new unlockable, playable archers, for a total of 8
A huge list of variants to customize your matches - a total of 75 ways to mix things up
Plenty of hidden secrets and surprises to discover with your friends
