DESOLATION Alpha 1.4 is out! You can read the full changelog below - or just download the game to see it there.


To be honest, it has been around a week since this version was done - I just was too lazy to make a post about it. But the thing is, 1.5 is already on the works, and I think it'll be one the best updates once I get done with it.

Anyway, here is the changelog:

* Full controller support added. Navigating through the UI is now possible.

* Added aim assist to controllers. Can be closed from the gameplay settings. Still needs some work.

* Added button hints for controllers. Only works in the main menu for the time being. Will be improved.

* Robots in Infinite Mode now don't shoot you if you can't see them.

* The font has been modified to support Turkish characters. (excluding the italic font)

* Shotgun's buffed to shoot 4 bullets per firing and shoot cooldown was decreased from 0.5 to 0.4 seconds.

* Added "matches played" and "high score" texts to Infinite Mode's menu.

* Developer console additions:

- Left and right arrows can now be used to navigate through the written command.

- Ctrl + V shortcut pastes text from clipboard.

- "scene [name]" function added.

- "scenes" function added.

- "assign" function now overwrites the commands if the same key is used twice.

* Added titles to menus in the main menu & pause menu.

* The changelog menu now works. Will be improved in later versions.

* Revamped the main menu buttons. Removed "Campaign" and "About" buttons.

* Added custom ammo acquire images (may change later).

* Various source code optimization & cleaning.
