This patch fixes; - Disappearing map selection menu in rare cases - Map downloader stuck on Linux - Fixed error message when typing invalid port number - Allow XP to be earned on non-official servers

As requested I've quickly implemented a basic gamepad / controller input layer. The entire game should be navigateable from A to Z and completely playable, albeit there are some caveats; - Hints and tips will still display keyboard / mouse names - I will have to refactor this so I can show actual buttons.. But for this I need more controllers as well. - Car controls are a bit funky, you'll have to use the joystick instead of trigger buttons to step on the gas. - The game is much harder with a controller, as there is no aim-assist. - You can't re-map controls yet (only configure the movement / aim speed) in-game. If you want to edit those, you will have to fiddle with the button numbers in the "settings" file located here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\ShootMUp\\settings This file is an INI file that will contain a section of "GP_CONTROLS". The numbers there relate to the numbers you see in the Windows "game controller properties", except that the numbers in the ini-file are 0based (the control window starts counting from 1). So if you want to make some changes, you'll have to check the number in the properties screen, then deduct 1 from it, and use that number in the config file. I also don't have that many controllers - I have been developing and testing this with a PS4 controller hooked up to my Windows PC, so I hope most controllers will work. You might need to do some remapping - feel free to share re-mapped configs in the discussions! Ofcourse I'm also available on Discord for any burning questions you may have. Enjoy!!

The 1.0.1 patch brings some small changes; - Added informative text on main menu - Adding bots now uses max players - Fixed issue when filling max players when hosting server - Fixed some issues with filesystem (map loading / scanning) - might fix some crashes

The 1.0.0 release is finally here, bringing very small updates for the open beta users, but a completely new release for the rest of the world. Here are the patch notes:

• Added more documentation on map editor
• Improved some gun sound effects
• Fixed breaklights being despawned too quickly
• Fixed getting stuck in car in campaign
• Fixed wall visibility in map editor

Another patch that fixes some minor issues and should improve the zombie survival gameplay; The zombie survival gameplay still is kind of unbalanced (mainly because of the ability to freely respawn / no possibility to revive downed teammates), it should be a bit clearer for new players now. More changes will come, but not in a patch - that will be a new version. Here's the changelog for this patch;

• Added bot count to server list
• Added notification showing shop location after surviving the first wave of zombies
• Added notification to vote skip daytime (will be a default integrated feature soon!)
• Changed zombie spawn rate
• Replaced
• Improved zombie SFX
• Fixed double clicking in server list not working right
• Fixed zombie shop deployables (barbed wire was missing)
• Fixed zombie match starting at wrong day
• Removed need to press key to pickup health
• Removed ear-rape after a zombie match where you'd make a lot of kills

Thanks for the valueable feedback during the open beta! I've addressed some issues and made some improvements here and there; You can now always spawn in zombie survival mode - no need to buy new spawns. You don't lose money yet when you die - as the zombies coming at you might be a challenge.. We'll see how this goes. Also prevented issues where you'd be able to buy things that didn't help (e.g. didn't fit, or already full health). Thats fixed! I've improved a bit on the drawing pipelines regarding lights and walls - there's still some more optimisations to be done, but this should help out a bit already.

• Added [BOT] name to bots
• Changed spawning options in zombie survival mode
• Improved chat sound effects
• Improved car sounds effects
• Improved some performance by batching light draw calls together, should improve performance on older machines.
• Improved wall rendering by a lot, lowering VRAM usage, loading times and wall rendering times.
• Fixed wall rendering issue in linux
• Fixed issue when hitting "reload" while holding grenade
• Fixed error in main menu on specific occasions
• Fixed losing money by being able to buy more deployables than you can carry, heal when full health, or repair with 100% base.

The open beta for Shoot 'm Up will commence next monday - august 19th. This open beta is focussed on streamers / youtubers / influencers, and you're encouraged to take gameplay footage of the game! If you don't have a key yet, you can contact me over Discord :) https://discord.gg/FFz5tzd Cheers!

• Added Player-Only colliders to mapeditor and maps

Again, a lot of work has been done in the last period of time - as the game isn't released yet, it doesn't require me to post updates weekly / monthly, so I can easily work on bigger features. I've done a lot since the last 0.6.0 version - here goes!

Final testing phase

Its been long since the last DevLog! But as always, I've been busy. This new version brings us closer to the actual EA release on steam, which will be happening very soon. As the EA release will include the campaign mode, I've been spending a lot of time on that. Then there was the lobby UI that was bugging me a bit, and I've been improving the dedicated servers so that I can now host multiple servers at the same time, running different game modes. Hooray! Here's the full changelog:

• In-game performance improvements for assets and custom sprite drawing
• In-game performance improvements for particles
• Added advanced environmental / ambiance system + audio
