Hey everyone!

Time for the weekly patch notes!

• New Perk! -> Scrap Magnet (3 nodes total) - Scraps will attract towards your ship within a specified range. (If you previously owned a perk slot that was replaced by a Scrap Magnet perk, it should auto add the perk to your loadout)
  
• Buying the Enemy Difficulty Level Perk now gives you an extra 10xp per run per perk gained!
  
• New Boss! -> The Devious Twins, Nano and Nina!
  
• -> Nano and Nina have been added to the Story Mode boss selector only.
  
• -> Nano is more aggressive and uses a basic laser while Nina uses her wit to take you down with bombs and lasers.
  
• -> They also have corresponding minibosses as well.
  
• -> Dialogue has been added for their interaction as well but no voice overs yet!

• The Grid now shows the perk that you are selecting's details even if it isn't unlocked yet. Hooray for strategic pathing!
  
• Minimum time before you can activate the correct button to get past the tutorial increased (0.5 sec -> 1.5 sec).
  
• Bob's healing orbs now float to his health bar to have more clarity on when you're healing him.
  
• The "Attack Speed"perk has been renamed to "Fire Rate" for more clarity.
  
• The Fire Rate node's art has been replaced to better show the perk's ability.
  
• Player's side bounding boxes extended to give more flying space and be able to pick up those pesky side scraps.

• Fixed a bug where picking up two laser powerups at the same time would make the orb effect persist as if someone stuck a sticker on your screen. Don't worry, we've tried to peel the sticker off, too.
  
• Fixed a bug where the save files were not properly displaying their time played.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could fire / queue up bombs / queue up a roll in the pause menu.
  
• Fixed a super annoying bug where you could not regain control of the continue button in the end screen panel after alt-tabbing out.
  
• Fixed a bug where XP from killing bosses was not getting added to your ship level xp total at the end of each round!

Thanks and see you all next week! We really appreciate the support and feedback we've been getting and can't wait to introduce more content for you!

Mostly Minor Fixes, fixed some bugs w/ Redirected walking, encouraged to try it again if you don't think it was behaving accurately.

• Fixed an issue w/ default state of brightness overlay Being too dark
• Set minimum brightness of brightness overlay so you should still be able to see even at lowest
• Adds a shutdown button for OVRAS to settings tab (just closes OVRAS)
• Altered Default Value of De-tangle Angle to be more aggressive
• Adjusted Slider behavior for auto-turn speed now maxes out at 900, and increments by 10 deg
• Adjusted Name of Auto-turn to add more clarity (may change in future)
• Fixed a redirected walking bug caused by copy/paste error
• Fixed a redirected walking error where interframe arc-length was calculated wrong, leading to under-estimation
• Fixed an issue where seated re-center button would be hidden

Gameplay Changes

Decreased Matsumoto player damage by 20%, his reach was too overpowered.

Decreased the Health of opponents on Easy Mode by 50%, so beginners won’t struggle so much or just for people that wanna have some casual fun can enjoy themselves more.

Visuals

Added option to remove the hit blur effect entirely in the Options > Video. Some people were still getting sick from the effect, so when players are on Easy or Medium difficulty, the effect will be removed if they so desire, however, if they are playing on Hard Mode, then the screen will appear black for 0.4 seconds when they are hit, that is to make it fair for people that are playing with the effects on, since there is a LeaderBoard.

Bugs fixed

Fynis opponent was using her spinning back fist too far away.

• A simple Dice Roller as requested.

The dice roller is contained within the token stats panel and when a dice is rolled it puts the results into a windows below it. Multiple of the same dice can be rolled at the same time with individual results being displayed, it also displays which token is doing the dice rolling.

You can clear and closed the dice roll results area if you want to reclaim the screen space.

Digital Dungeon Tiles is a mapping software first and foremost. These features we are adding to assist play are just bonus features, you should not expect them to be deeply intricate systems.

• Fixed some placeable objects that were not playing nicely with the save and load system.
  
• Increased the performance of the lighting system when using multiple light sources.
  
• Fixed a monster token that was showing up as a blank token

Greetings, employees!

If you've been postponing your trip under the Dome for a long time, then now is the time! Over the past week, the world has changed a lot. All thanks to the dedicated work of the staff of each wing. New settlers can expect new jobs and areas for exploration, the most technologically advanced equipment and facilities like no other in the world.



In the latest issue of the newsletter, we announced a change in the management of the Concord Station. It's time to see how the station has changed with the new management.

We can't believe how the station has transformed in a couple of days. Newly opened facilities, flooded with new lamps, created additional jobs. The quality of equipment was increased, and modern machines have replaced the old ones. New designer furniture in the recreation areas is so nice, we want to take hundreds of photos on it to send to loved ones outside the Dome! Be sure to visit the Concord again to see how good the station has become.

But that's no reason to stop here. What matters to C.R.O.N.U.S. is taking care of its employees. Remember, the future of the Dome and all humanity is in our hands. Send your feedback and wishes to us, no letter will be ignored, you can be sure about that.



Absolutely legal and safe experiments on the Dome animals resulted in a breakthrough in the protection of strategically important objects. Modified cyber-hyenas were 10 times better than human counterparts in conducted tests. Needless to say, it will significantly reduce security costs. Saved money will be distributed somewhere else to the benefit of employees.

*Some specimens managed to escape and leave the test site. Be careful during your research. Cyber Hyenas are equipped with the most powerful weapons and are very deadly.



We are confident that the discoveries made under the Dome will change the future of humanity forever. Therefore, we invite journalists and observers from all over the world to visit us. Having contacted our press services you can make an application for a free trip to wastelands, modern settlements, scientific objects and other possessions of the corporation. Remember, you will never want to leave the Dome!

#248

Hello everybody,

After releasing the update 4.005 last week we continued on polishing it, addressing the issues that were found after the public release. We hope to release another Hotfix tomorrow that will improve the public version stability. Of course, the work on the next update is being done in parallel - for instance, the new heavy assault gun SU-152 for Tank Crew project will be finished soon. This one, being a symbiosis of a heavy tank and a heavy howitzer, really stands out. It's no wonder that such a war machine required adapting and improving the core systems to support it properly - there is no reason not to implement something created for one unit to all others that were released earlier. For instance, all 45mm and higher caliber shells that in reality did not have tracers will have a visual model of a flying shell (one for all for now) instead of a symbolical tracer. Firing the main gun without working ventilation and closed hatches will result in carbon monoxide poisoning of the crew and we created additional effects of the evacuation of the propellant fumes from the engine compartment for vehicles that used it for the fumes evacuation. The new system that allows a commander to order his gunner and other self-propelled guns under his command to fire at a specified direction and range is also almost complete. There are also finishing touches like oil pumping animation before starting the engine. The visual model of this vehicle, that probably has the most firepower in the project, is also nearly finished.







We would like to emphasize that many things that were done for Tank Crew also improve the aircraft - for example, the Tank Crew separate animations tech and the new models of the Soviet and German pilots that are being created using it for BoS, BoM and BoK allow us to put American and British pilots into the lend-lease planes. This means that soon you'll be able to witness RAF and Soviet pilots in Spitfire Mk.V and Spitfire Mk.IX and RAF, USAF and Soviet ones in P-40E, P-47D and B-25D (according to what country is specified in the mission file by its author). A bit later, when we complete the required animations for the new pilot models, this will also work for A-20B and P-39L.



In addition, the same approach will allow having a correct visual model depending on the timeframe: Soviet pilots will appear in correct summer uniforms depending on the mission date (there will be three different models for early war before April 1st, 1942, between April 1st, 1942 and March 1st, 1943, and late war). Later, when we have German and US pilot models ready, their uniforms will also change depending on the mission date, including the g-suit. And we plan to give all the WWII-era pilots hand weapons as a final touch in this department.



Enjoy!

Hello Everyone,

We have a few fixes ready but we really wanted players to have them available for the weekend. We will however still post a normal update on Sunday.

• Fixed lock mouse to screen
  For players with dual monitor setups, when playing, your mouse cursor will not leave the game unless you open your inventory or open settings.
  
• Improved character movement on server
  A slight improvement on players syncing to the server that mainly involves rotation. Improves movement of other players on the online server.
  
• Issues with In-Game Chat
  For some players in game chat was completely disabled. This should rectify the issue
  
• Corn stalk scale
  This size is more relative to the sizes of other objects in the world.

There's been a few other minor improvements between systems in the game. One of our priorities is optimizing the game so that we can bring down the minimum hardware requirements as well as data usage over the internet. This will essentially help players with lower spec computers to join the game and play along.

Cheers for now!
Jean
