Dear Scavengers! A small step for a game, one giant leap for the Players! The time has come for a long-awaited co-op mode update to share danger with your Scavenger mate. We've improved the co-op mode, which gives playing together a new lease of life . Of course, that's not our last word, and we're preparing further improvements, but we wanted to share our work with you right now.

Update 1.5.0

New features:

:robotworker: Better Together Co-op mode has been an essential element of Danger Scavenger for us from the beginning. We love playing with friends, and we think that our project is perfect for that. That's why we were not satisfied with how it looked at release. Since its launch, we have worked hard to improve it. We are sure that you will like it now.
:plusplus: New Game+ Of course, we do not forget about players who prefer to play single. This time, if you finish Danger Scavenger in Hardcore mode, challenging New Game+ mode will be unlocked. :linedasharrow: New navigation elements in the hub We have added navigation stripes in the hub to make it easier to reach your destination!
:HappyRoombo: New endgame animations This time, after returning to HUB, a big applause and cheers from the Scavengers' team await for you. :ThinkingLoading: Loading animation While loading the game, we added proper animation. :Delete_arrow: Movement direction indicator for gamepad We got a lot of information that the game on the gamepad is unintuitive. That's why we have prepared a direction indicator. Below you will see a little preview.
Bugfixes - improved the balance of player damage and the health of the robots, - added the ability to shoot in secrets. Co-op Bugfixes - fixed an error that caused a drastic drop in FPS after a player's death, - fixed a bug in connection with a quick reboot, which caused a return to the wrong building, - fixed a mistake that caused robots from other levels to appear on the player level, - fixed a bug in the correct allocation of The Curse System, - improved the HUD: we have added a panel of saved items for both players (in the summary window in Arcade Mode), - prepared the playing of two gamepads. Earlier the first player could only play on the keyboard and mouse, - we've improved the control on the gamepad in the workshop, - fixed a bug in which the other player couldn't pick up items from chest and secrets, - fixed the bug with the resurrection of the player. Now the second player appears in the right place, - improved and adjusted the balance of robots and weapons, - improved the camera's performance.

What's next?

As we mentioned in the previous update, Gamescom Online starts next week. On the Indie Arena Booth stand, you will find Danger Scavenger! During this event, we are preparing a lot of surprises for you, including a new Demo, the update with leaderboards, a competition for the best score, and other minor bug fixes. We hope that you will be with us then because we will also stream the game and answer your questions in the chat.
