We're proud to announce the release of Overload's version 0.5 on Steam. This is a major drop with some big new features and content in it. Plus, Overload is part of the Steam Summer Sale and 25% off for a limited time!

* Challenge Mode level: Roundabout
* Single-player level: Titan 6
* Robot: Scourge

* Initial player death sequence
* Initial level exit sequence
* Axis settings/calibration menus
* Menus for save game/load game
* Five new achievements
* Automap Heatmaps -- see note below

* Now see your primary weapon when the cockpit is enabled (note that firing positions have changed slightly)
* Slightly larger Pickup radius
* Slightly larger font size for armor value on the reticle
* Tweaked missile damage to player
* Tweaked how robots are chosen to appear in Challenge Mode (should not affect overall difficulty, but should have more variety and more consistent difficulty)
* Better feedback when invulnerable (sound + less push/shake)
* Fixed descriptions/functionality for some upgrades and added asummary page
* Fixed Thunderbolt exploits
* Fixed a few controller issues
* Fixed foreign language Linux bug
* Fixed an issue with map-spawned armor/energy pickups despawning in Challenge Mode

* The heatmap feature is new and is not in its final state. Heatmaps can be turned on in the regular automap by pressing the "Switch Missile" control.
* Heatmaps can also be viewedfrom the Level Complete and Player Died menus. Red dots are robotdeaths; magenta dots are super-robot deaths; and blue dots are player damage.
* When viewing a heatmap, pressing the "Roll Left 90" control will show a time-lapse view of activity.
* VR support may be a bit buggy/unfinished with the death/exit sequences.
* The player ship model is still low poly and untextured, but does represent the overall direction.

* Exit sequence does not function properly in VR
* Player ship does not break into pieces while exploding.

We would appreciate it if you would take a brief survey about your experience with Overload: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduqRflU0191LNeZvfjPdhw-sl66TNGQ5nbRKQeo1AjeZDeag/viewform

This is release #4 in Early Access. Major changes in this version include:

* New single-player level: Outer Moons 2

* New challenge mode level: Foundry

* Added the Holo-Guide (like the Descent Guide-Bot). The first time you run
Version 0.4 the B key and Dpad-Right will be assigned to invoke the
Holo-Guide. (If those controls are already used you'll need to add the
mapping yourself.) Tap the control to invoke and search for the next goal,
(security key, reactor or exit) or hold the control down to bring up the
selection wheel.

* Added preliminary save/load system. NOTE: This system is NOT COMPLETE and
there are many things that won't work or won't work correctly. To save,
press F8 while playing a game. To restore, press F9 from either the main
menu or the pause menu. Save/load is not available in challenge mode.

* You can now apply upgrades between single-player levels. On the briefing
screen, select the upgrade menu to spend your upgrade points.

NOTE: The upgrade system is still a work in progress. In particular, it's
too easy to skip the upgrade menu, there needs to be an upgrade summary
screen, and we'll likely be rewarding you with some upgrade points
automatically (for finishing a level or rescuing the cryotubes, for
example).

Super Upgrade points will appear in later levels.

* Added destroyable monitors to SP levels.

* Added door switches & locked doors.

* Collision optimization. Especially benefits area with small pipes.

* Robot changes:
- Titan and Guardian move about 50% faster when trying to reach the player.
- Fixed super-fast robot movement bug.
- Robots won't instantly fire at you when they see you for the first time
or after not seeing you recently.
- Golem makes a more obvious attack sound.

* Other fixes & tweaks:
- Fixed boost upgrade not working as expected.
- Tweaked choosing of spawn location in challenge mode.
- Some doors now have different sounds.
- Stopped exploding objects (reactor, etc.) from knocking the player back
due to extreme velocities.
- Added a small firing delay after using weapon wheel to prevent exploiting.
- Powerups are not created when robot generators die due to the reactor
being destroyed.
- The Clean Machine achievement is now possible.

We've just put up our third Early Access release. Highlights include a new Challenge Mode level, a new robot, and Steam achievements. And there are also a pile of smaller features and fixes. Steam should download the update automatically; you can speed it up by exiting the Steam client and restarting.

Pipeline features four moderately-sized hallways running parallel to each other, with multiple connections between them and a new style of natural area (ice caves). Pipeline's action mixes long-range shooting in a semi-limited locale, so long-range weapons are valuable, but staying on the move with short-range weapons can also make it easier to dictate the pace of the combat.

Golem is an aggressive kamikaze robot that wants to destroy you by destroying itself. When it charges in to attack, it moves in an unpredictable swoop that can easily catch you off guard.

We've started adding Steam Achievements. There are 11 that you can get, plus a couple more that won't work until we have a longer single-player campaign. And we'll be adding plenty more.

Challenge Mode Upgrades turn your XP into tangible rewards, with permanent unlocks that give you a few small advantages to take your game to the next level.

Here's an incomplete list of the smaller changes:

• Option to display large banner messages as regular HUD messages
  
• When fail to get Steam leaderboard data, tell player to try again
  
• Tweaks to AI in challenge mode
  
• Tell player a personal best in challenge mode was earned on stats page
  
• Can no longer pickup powerups through grates
  
• New stats page events and icons
  
• Updated weapon/missile icons
  
• Outline on Cryotubes, bigger pickup radius, and no shooting them.
  
• Larger devastator explosion radius for robot damage (and more base damage too)
  
• Increase min distance for ambush/close bot spawning
  
• Toned down robot generator speeds a bit (and affected by difficulty level a little too)
  
• Toned down impulse brightness a bit
  
• If robot would drop ammo in SP, checks if you have an ammo-firing weapons and drops energy instead
  
• Reduce boost heat when picking up energy, and unlimited in energy center
  
• Increase despawn timer on dropped Energy/Armor in SP to 5 minutes
  
• Flak firing distance increased a bit
  
• Reduced angle for smash attack targeting
  
• Fixed bug with running out of ammo-only weapons
  
• Made it so you can never start with just ammo weapons in Countdown mode
  
• Flak distance shown through reticle highlight
  
• Fixed some automap errors with newer objects
  
• Legend for automap doors
  
• Updated security key model and effects
  
• Made page up/down clickableon multi-page menus
  
• Never get the same special event 2x in a row in CM
  
• Made CM special event spawning more consistent
  
• Fixed robot generators in OM3 being destroyable without triggering them
  
• Changed how semi-auto weapons work with Overdrive (Thunderbolt charges even faster, Crusher auto-fires)
  
• Revised CM levels to be in reverse chronological order
  
• Updated driller sound effects
  
• Titan can no longer be a runaway robot, and he moves a little slower
  
• Added a backup timer for lockdown ending after it first starts
  
• Changed door trigger shapes (should eliminate false activations)
  
• Reduceexplosion particles a bit when lots of robots have died recently
  
• Fixed CM Countdown-Ace not unlocking Insane
  
• Don't overlap robot spawning with a robot death on the same frame (at least not on purpose)

As always, let us know what you think or if you have any problems.
