New version now live.


Version ”Fire Ant” is now live and changes the game in a host of ways. Aside from adding two new levels, the update also rebalances the game in a number of ways. Turrets have been differentiated more, so that they have more distinct usage situations. The enemy stat increases when they level up in the continuous mode have also been changed up, making the challenge more consistent. Lastly, the yield formula has been changed in the continuous mode.
The update also adds in a collectible in the form of mem discs, that can be found in the campaign levels. The mem discs contain brief story elements, that pieced together will give a view of the events leading up to the campaign.
Here’s the full list of changes, fixes and additions:

Optimizations:
Game has been upgraded from Unity 5.5 to Unity 2017.2 which means SSAA (Res scaling),
NGSS (shadow system) and post processing effects have been optimized.

Bugs and issues:
Level 5 base object (the truck) has been moved to increase visibility.
Level 5 some hexes have been moved to allow max range turrets to reach the base object.
Fixed issue where base options in the ui would get displaced when switching res.
Increased music fadeout speed when switching scenes.
Adjusted post proc effects in the achievement display area.
Fixed the heatwave effect offsetting.
Fixed sound not playing when clicking next/previous button before last achievement in achievement display area.

New features and rebalancing:
Two new endless mode levels, the Forest and the Overpass.
Objectives for each level have been added to the loading screen.
If there’s an object to protect, an indicator shows which one it is.
Zooming has been implemented, mapped to the scroll wheel.

Song in reading room.
Five new achievements, Give ‘em hell 7+8, Prime example 7+8 and Librarian.

Enemy level up stats (including yields) rebalanced in endless mode.
Bug zapper range slightly increased and damage greatly increased.
Turrets can be rotated using the arrow keys.

Minor adjustments:

Level C1 DoF has been adjusted to avoid bottom turret position blurring.
Level C1 Grass was growing through some cars.

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
