Another patch is here, and this one comes with a change to the Doomsayer role! Check out the full notes below:

Doomsayer Change
• The ability for the Doomsayer has been adjusted to eliminate only their top doom target as shown in the UI. • The Doomsayer UI has undergone enhancements for improved clarity and ease of use.

New Demo Feature - Free Play with Keys
• Our Free to Play demo was great for allowing players to bring in their friends to try out the game. In that spirit, we have decided to keep it around, with some changes.
• Players on the Free Demo now use a free key based system allowing them to store up to 5 keys, with 1 key given every 8 hours. A key is required to play a match.
• New players start with 5 keys.

Improvements
• House facade trim now matches the interior trim when viewed from inside the house.
• Clicking Exit in Settings will now leave the game you are in before closing, so that players are no longer hit with leaverbuster penalties in some rare cases that the game starts before we know they are truly gone on the server.

Bug Fixes
• Fixed issue causing rolecard mouseover to open when someone gets a role card update.
• Hover tooltips on the Friends menu in-game now properly render above the menu.

Update Notes:

0.8.3
• Implemented comments from the flying fairy assistant
• Conducted a review and refinement of in-game sounds

0.8.2
• Added the ability to customize certain textures
• Introduced an animation for the hero's transition to the next level
• Created hints for demo levels
• Configured mipmaps to reduce flickering when zooming out the camera

0.8.1
• Game localized to German
• Improved the lighting of level foundation
• Added shader preloading for faster startup

In this update today, I've added five new Steam achievements, bringing the total now to 12 for this game.

There are 4 Steam achievements that can only be earned on the Heisenberg level alone. This should take a while for most players to acquire, but we'll see how long it takes! =)


Thanks for reading!

Gun breeding now has more strategy than just piling every stat on a gun!
Mutation chance has been removed and replaced with mutation capacity.
A mutation is an allocation into a stat.
A guns mutation capacity will be: the average of its parents capacity + (3 to 8).
When a gun is born it will adjust its mutations to fit its mutation capacity. The mutations from both parents are added together. If the mutations are still less than capacity then it will randomly draft mutations till it reaches capacity. If the mutations exceed the capacity then it will randomly remove mutations till it fits.
The strategy now is to breed similar guns with desired mutations together. But not too much because one stat can flush out the others.

12 backpack slots!
Added small breaks to 5 minute marks to give a breather
Recoil is more violent but recovers faster
Impact effects are juicier
Sounds that repeat often have been given small variations
UI tweaks
