Big new update - This update includes a brand new gamemode I call "Eliminate the VIP", a new heavy LMG weapon, a internal stat/unlock overhaul and much more.
Sorry for the delay, as some know I've moved into a new (my first!) house - so things have been a bit delayed!
Eliminate the VIP gamemode
Introducing a brand new gamemode I call "Eliminate the VIP" - Chase down and eliminate the VIP and you'll become it - now you must survive as everyone is out to get you! Earn points by staying alive as the VIP or by killing the VIP (and thus becoming it)
Consider it like a solo capture-the-flag or a king-of-the-hill type gamemode.
New weapon - LMG
I've made a new weapon - the LMG! It's a big and heavy rifle that has a very high fire rate and high ammo capacity.
However, you gotta stand still for it to become accurate, if you move it'll shoot all over the place!
Think of it like a turret!
Stat & unlocks overhauled - new UI
The stat and unlock system has been completely remade!
This means that you no longer have to wait for the end of the game to see your unlock progression, it'll happen instantly (same goes for Steam achievements!). Daily challenges now also reward exp - which they apparently never did before.. oops
I've also added a new UI notification that pops up on the screen whenever you unlock something.
Linux support
Monday Meltdown is now fully and natively supported on Linux!
If any Steam Deck users wanna try it out - please let me know!
Misc
A bunch of other small things where also added - read the full changelog below!
I'm preparing up to release out of Early Access - so if you would like to wishlist the game (even if you own it), it will help build up the release!
Thank you so much to you all reading & playing this!
