Game Update Build 80.3 New Profile Manager, game fixes & patches.


Log - 4/13/21

Build Version 80.1

Game Patch Notes:

Players can now create their own profiles. The game no longer relies on one save file and one name at a time saved to the leaderboards. You can now login, logout, create or delete profiles. This allows for players to pick and choose names that are already listed, Each profile can be affected by cheats, although cheats activated will disable any achievements that are obtainable. The profile with used cheats will be flagged as "Cheats Active" other profiles can gain a completion percentage which is viewable by mouse hovering or selecting a profile in the manager. Each player will have their own respective settings and unlocks. The leaderboards and survival stats are now game based and not profile based, so each profile will contribute to them.

[Bug Fixes]

  • Steam cloud didn't work, which is now working.

  • Saber Blazer Beam remains active after final boss was beaten.

  • Ship camera on game start randomly stuck at zero coordinates.

  • Survival stats max multiplier from resetting back to 0 on death.

  • Fixed Issues with game saves with the new profile manager.

  • Music in survival mode resetting to level 1 after pausing.

  • Issue with retro mode not unlocking, wrong object was activated.

  • Adjusted and changed some UI elements and adjusted screen transitioning.

[Changes]

  • New Game Profile System: individuals can now login into their own respective accounts (up to 10), delete or create new ones. which is stored in a database locally in game.

  • Keyboard “P” and “Backspace” are no longer mapped to pause or Back.

  • Keyboard “return” now pauses the game.

  • Added an Anti-achievement/Cheat system for profiles and cheat codes.

  • Turbo mode no longer activated with Gamepad “A” and replaced with “L3”.

  • Profile system now processes old local game save into a profile.

  • Game Profiles are assigned to their Steam ID.

  • Default Option settings are now set to low quality.

  • Main menu ship model, cursor and options icon now represents color of profile slot.

[Known Bugs]

  • In game achievements are separated by their own profiles, but all profiles contribute to the main Steam achievements.

  • 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)

  • Giga blaster takes a bit of performance due to the manipulating the material color to RGB with over 400 active bullets.

  • Look rotation is extreme with v-sync off on high performance PC's.
    Menu transitions are very fast with v-sync off.

Devastation - ATAR (Game Reboot)

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

I just built a new Weapon for Virvius. I called it the Photon Cannon. The weapon animates by opening up and the spinning rotor fires off plasma then closes after with the rotor spinning down. #shooter #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indieDev #retro
