Hello Bringers! The launch of ScourgeBringer's alpha has been a blast. All your feedback have been very relevant and helped us to focus on what matters. Today, we are releasing Alpha 2. It adds the super attack and revamps the weapon system (including new weapons and items). It also addresses a bunch of the issues you've highlighted, though all not yet, but we'll get there as we publish new updates. Accessing the alpha: for the time being, alpha access are managed through our Discord. You will find right after the gif the full change log! Thanks for your support, and let's continue rocking the feedback! Cheers, Thomas

New:

• Added the super attack
• Added 14 drone weapons to drop and find in the shop
• Added 6 new items (most of them are related to the new drone reloading system)
• Added the full level map
• Added an option to disable the mouse aiming when playing with only a keyboard
• Polished the settings and pause menu to have sounds and animations
• Added more gamepad support, and possibly fixing a specific Xbox One controller issue
• Added a deadzone to the aiming stick and slightly increased the moving stick's one
• Implemented the auto-slash accessibility setting

Changes:

• Reworked how the drone reloading works: the reload bar now consists in charging the full bar in order to get back X ammo (X depends on weapon), and it is more required to have an empty clip to reload
