Log - 1/29/21 Build Version 78.2 [Bug Fixes] Major Gameplay Update - Added Continue Function, Depending on difficulty, when a player has lost all lives, an option to continue will appear allowing the player to restart the current level instead of restarting the entire game. Trainee Difficulty = 3 continues Mayhem Difficulty = 2 continues Chaos Difficulty = 1 continues Nightmare Difficulty = 0 continues

• Issue on game continue on final boss, would still be active in coroutine and firing but "invisible".
• Changed the enemy position closer to the player so they are not so far way.
• Added a range cap on enemies that move towards player on level 12, enemies will stop when they are close enough instead of running into the player.
• Enemies chase the player down more quickly in level 12.
• Increased the look sensitivity values by 0.5 and expanded the max range from 5 to 10.
• Re-transcoded all videos, some where missing settings, Changed to Deinterlaced mode to "Even" this insures game videos are NTSC 1080P.
• Fixed issue where missiles would fail to set lock on reticle and lock notification.

[Changes]

• Added an adjustment value to the scroll bars in the options menu, controller sensitivity shows current values instead of 0-100 as well as master, music, sound, UI and announcer bars.
• Added different Shield and Core colors when using enigma cannon, cyber realm, core absorb, plasma cannon instead of just invincibility. The shows how the ship impact reacts differently to enemy bullets.
• Added Explosions to the devastator and Enigma Cannons projectiles. (induces heavier damage and radius damage).
• Added sparks to the ship when enemy projectile hits it.

[Known Bugs]

• Multiplier sometimes doesn't change to RGB when over 300.
• Steam Overlay can sometimes cause a possible game lockup which causes the application to close. [Seems to lock up only when broadcasting is active.]
• Megabyte's saber beam state glitches randomly, plays beam sound every frame, will not fire beam and will continue to charge forever. (unable to replicate it)

***UPDATES

• Fixed Issue with Level 12 background not resetting when continuing.
• Changed position of continue panel and updated some UI elements.
• Fixed issue with continuing on survival mode.

-Story Line-
Year 2020, 32 years later. We received a corrupted broadcast on our devices from an unknown entity which appeared from our collected data base on the aliens that we had annihilated to extinction years ago. The broadcast consisted of a garbled language we had to shift signal to understand. The message became clear: “You are one but we are many, We are not outside but we are inside. Your data now belongs to us!”.

Upon exiting the broad cast, our computers became infected with a worm virus, jumping from server to sever. There was no doubt the aliens now have full access to the worlds data base and infecting the intergalactic web.

A security program interface was built around the Horus. It was only accessible through the backup drives but the software needed a constant energy supply. The best way was to extract the power cores from the enemy structural data nucleus by destroying them. Enhancing the “new” digital Horus to be equipped with new weaponry, armor and enhancements by spending these cores revenant energy.

We sent the Horus into the intergalactic web and scouted through damaged back doors the virus had travelled into, encountering the byterrian species that was expelled from the virus burrowing themselves into structural firewalls with ease. The aliens hard coded the byterrians to be extremely volatile. The only way to get to the leader was the complete annihilation of these digitized species.

The Horus vaporizes byterrians and grows more stronger but the byterrians are just as formidable. As long as power cores were gathered, their immense plan to inject a cybernetic virus on highest security data structure on the globe will be negated and the world is saved once again.

The plan? Send the entire species back into oblivion. Its time for repatriation!
