Hey everyone!
Another week, another update! It's been 3 weeks since we launched and it's been one hell of a ride so far. We're overwhelmed with your love and feedback and we're changing the course of the game to make sure we can implement the things you want to see. As an example of this we're introducing the 'Freeride' mode in today's patch! In this much requested mode you're able to generate levels by setting the variables that are used in the generation process, as seen in the above screenshot.
Another highly requested feature we're adding today is the ability to load up a level by its generation seed. If you see a level you like, write down the seed (seen in bottom right corner of the pause menu) and play it again in the Freeride mode. You can also share this seed with others so that they're able to play the exact same level!
Changes:
- Added Freeride mode. In this mode you can generate a level to your liking, play with or without health, and rep changes will not be saved.
- Added the option to load a level from a generation seed! This means you can screencap or write down the seed when you see a level you like and replay it at a later time, or share it with others. The seed for the level you're playing can be found in the bottom right of the pause menu.
- Added the option to immediately equip an item when you unlock it.
- Added a new t-shirt of Extraordinary quality, created by the Foodz company.
- Added a shirt for people who participated in the beta back in October 2017. Codes for this item will be going out by e-mail.
- Bugfix: updated a few grammar mistakes in translations.
- Bugfix: team nodes are now correctly named when hovering over them in the world map.
- Bugfix: fixed 2 wrongly labelled songs.
- macOS/Linux: applied the hotfix that was rolled out last week on Windows. This contains fixes for a world map bug (game booted up in an empty world map), and it adds a few missing keybinds in the key rebinding menu.
- macOS stability is a big problem, crashes occur more frequent than on other platforms and framerates are lower than we want them to be. We're aware of this and currently looking into getting external help to fix these problems.
- Steam leaderboards bug. Some players have no entry on the leaderboards and we're having a hard time reproducing the bug but we're still well aware of the bug and working on it.
- General performance levels are not yet where we want them to be. We're constantly looking at ways to improve this.
