Update #4 Live - Chopper Boss of DOOM

We've released a new update to Smith and Wintston! This is mainly a metric ton of tweaks to the first half of the game to make it more balanced and more fun to play. Thanks to everyone that gave us feedback and helped make the game even better.
Features:

Added in the Chopper boss. This is the middle boss in the game. Hes pretty epic (testable via the new BETA TEST menu)
Added a BETA TEST menu so player can test specific features of the game and give us feedback without destroying their Arcade Save games. Well be adding things to this menu and asking for feedback a lot we think.
Added a button for twitter and facebook in the title screen
Tweaking/Balancing of lives and ammo based on player feedback and streamer videos
Added disabled story and coop buttons to the main menu so players know they will be there activated at some point :)
After the player dies in a level specific enemies dont restore so it becomes slightly easier to finish the level. The cost to the player is that they will get a slightly lower score because there are less enemies to kill.

Beta Test You can jump straight to the Chopper Boss from the new Beta Test menu option. You can test the boss and give us feedback without affecting your Arcade Save game. We'd love to hear from all players steamhappy

Engine Changes:

Upgraded BGFX rendering code. At least 10% faster on all platforms.
Added Metal rendering engine for macOS (8x faster than OpenGL)
Added OpenGL rendering engine for Windows
macOS and Windows can select the rendering engine to use in Options > Video

Bug Fixes:

Fix for some of the trophies not being present
Skip cutscene text is now correct for controller, KB/Mouse users.
Ping Game Boy helmet renamed to the correct Pink Game Boi
Chopper based enemies can now be hit by grenades
Mining Laser now shoots from closer to the player so that when right up against the wall it actually hits it. This makes running through the caves and mines a lot easier.
In some levels the player plows through snow or mud, after they died this stopped working, this is fixed.
Some GameObject (enemies, pickups etc) were not restoring after player death
long german and spanish phrases should now in to text boxes
custom in game cursors appear in front of the shippy text.

Once again, thanks to everyone that's played the game and given us bug reports and feedbacl. It's really means the world to us so jump in to the forum and tell us what you think!

Smith and Winston is a Metroidvania style exploration twin stick shooter.

Taking on the role of Smith or Winston, two hapless mercenaries, you explore a newly discovered shattered ring world and uncover the secrets of the natives and the impending doom of the star system. Only you can save the system from the evil that awaits... or not.

Hand built

The world needs more hand crafted games. We love procedurally generated games but there is nothing like a level designed by a human for a human.

Exploration

There are many strange places to explore in Smith and Winston along with secrets and puzzles to discover and items to collect. You'll need a sharp eye to spot some of them and a bit of dexterity to reach others. But there's plenty to discover.

Challenging twin stick combat

There's no health bars and with limited lives dodging is as important as shooting. Don't worry we've given you the tools to survive. From guns and power ups, grenades and missile launchers, to being able to sculpt the terrain to your advantage. How you defeat enemies is up to you.

Free Flowing Movement

Smith and Winston come with some cool toys, a jump pack boost for going up and a dash for going fast. Great for dodging bullets but even better for reaching new areas. Combine these for bigger and further jumps. Dash, boost, dash can get you a long way but a clever use of the terrain and our in game physics can get you higher and further.

Voxels

We love 'em. In a voxel world the player can destroy nearly everything and you have the equipment to do just that. From mining lasers to dig out secrets to grenades that blast holes in everything. Use these tactically or just to make a hole and laugh as you adversary falls helplessly to their doom.

Camera

Smith and Winston is a full 3D game and to take advantage of that we added in a few things. A rotatable 360° camera lets you see what you want and 3 angles of tilt, fancy a more cinematic perspective, just drop the camera angle.

Collectibles

Collect and swap your heads there a lot to find and finding them all won’t be easy and with our Steam release we'll be adding Steam achievements and cards too.
