Game:

- Fixed some menu back buttons not working
- Updated SSR shader for better performance, maybe, I can't tell a difference
- Updated graphics options menu to say (non native) next to the screen overlay effect
- Fixed logout bug when local session timer expires
- Added an input delay when focusing on the application to stop alt tab button pressed
- Set inputs to ignore non gamepad joysticks, will maybe fix the whole HOTAS issue, also allows hot-swapping of controllers now

A Publisher has entered the Ring!

We've been pretty busy getting more content into the game. New weapons and enemies! The fun just doesn't stop.

We also partnered up with Humble Bundle! That's right! Humble Bundle is now publishing Prodeus and we are working close with them to make sure the product shines it's best!

Check out their announcement trailer they put together.




Weapons in Action!

Arc Rail - Is a deadly lightning gun that can snipe enemies from across the map. It also has a tesla style fire mode that arcs shots between enemies that are close to one another. Get creative!

Plexus - Fires large energy particles that link to each other. I has a few different fire modes, but all of them just.... destroy anything in it's path :)

New Enemies

A few new enemies have crawled into view. We're excited to share the new Sniper and Toxic Zombie types.

Sniper Zombie - has deadly aim that will hit you unless you take cover! Clever dodging and gun play will net you the win when fighting against this crafty enemy.







Toxic Zombie - A waste filled balloon waiting to be popped! Kill him near other enemies to inflict extra damage.



A cool level design feature allows you to pick his color to match your toxic waste.



Friendly reminder that our game comes with a built-in Level editor and Community Workshop!
