A lot of people asked us to improve the game controls. We take users feedback very seriously so that's what we've done. ːsteamhappyː
Now the game feels more like a traditional FPS without losing the RPG essence we want on it. The new control scheme will hopefully be much more convenient for moving and shooting without having to hold the right mouse button down.

Hi all, here are some of the changes in this patch:
Added game settings sub-menu at the customization screen. There is now a custom lives settings where you can adjust the number of lives given in a game. Note that scores will not be saved when custom values are used. If you have been having trouble experiencing some of the later parts of the game this is a good opportunity to try and practice!
Spirit shots that have been scratched will now have a different tint to better help differentiate them from unscratched bullets.

Just to make sure everyone knows what's comming next. For alpha 0.5 I'll be working on:
For alpha 0.5 i'm looking into the following: New enemies Particularly nazi enemies in zombie form as wel as alive. The latter will shoot with guns and such while the zombies will act similar to the Mummies. Obviously I'll start with the zombified nazi's as these are easier to make. I will do regular updates and posts on the progress, in fact both the enemies can already be seen in the artwork section:
New maps I will add one or two new challange maps that will be catered towards gun carrying enemies. This way we can test the AI of the "living" enemies.
Puzzle behaviour For the singleplayer we want more then just to be able to blow up stuff..well..I mean..I love blowing up stuff.. but still. Puzzles will be an interesting part of the journey breaking up the pase of the game.
Triggered voiceacting events This is one of the many generic parts of mechanics that we need for the singleplayer.
