This update brings the second part of the Apocalypse World! You can now fully enjoy (or hate because it's kinda hard) the Apocalypse World

• The Mountain Apocalypse
  
• The Submarine Base Apocalypse
  
• The Station Apocalypse

You now have 60 more stages to discover! Note that they are still no souls to collect in the apocalypse world, but you still have medals to earn!

If you enjoyed the bonus stages, you may be surprised with the 6th Apocalypse world..!



We added the Apocalypse World soundtrack to the game, we hope that you will like it! We also added for the Apocalypse World some new death sound effects.

• The super-fast-rising-lava-bug was fixed
  
• We introduced a critical bug with the last update, the final boss was not doable without checkpoints, it is fixed
  
• There was some color issues on the apocalypse menus, it is fixed aswell

We will release the game in 2 months and push the last content update, but this is not the end - yet!
We still have to complete the cutscenes and add some polish to the game - for example, a very big and obvious indication to press "X" to swap to the Apocalypse world.

Once the game is released on PC, we won't be far anyway, we'll still patch the game and fix what needs to be fixed, but we won't add additional content to the game: no plans for DLCs or sequel at the moment.


As usual, we are still eager to hear your feedback, do not hesitate to use the "feedback" panel in game or to join us on discord. Thank you very much for your support and feedback!

Talk to you soon!

Looking forward to something special? We got you covered!

Watch a mission 1 gameplay video using Cat A to learn the 3 main scoring methods. It shows how staying at a low power level, not using focus shots, and firing at close range allows attaining a score more than 3 times of that playing for survival. The score of 205,600 in this single mission alone is more than the majority of Trial Mode scores in the demo that encompass two missions! Cat A, in this case, is much more versatile than many believe it is capable of. In addition, mission 1 becomes an important start stage to get a much earlier first extend in Arcade Mode.



All of this can be replicated in the demo so give it a try! Do note that getting hit 3 times in Trial removes any focus bonus at mission end despite having infinite armor. It will also be more difficult to attempt such moves as the missions get harder, so an optimal combination of the scoring methods that takes into account safety will be needed.

Formulating a good leveling strategy based on personal skill that balances score and survival is the key to higher scores and far more important than fast reflexes!

Here's another regular update. The most noticeable addition is the possibility to play TEM2 within TE4 if you have bought both games.

There are also several tuning & fixes done from user reports.

I hope you'll enjoy it. :-)

And here's the complete changelog.

- World Tour : if you have bought TEM2, you can now play it inside TE4 and become a tennis coach
- Localization : Czech translation by MichalR70 and Korean translation by Land of the sky, thanks to them ! ːsteamhappyː
- Commentary : about 200 new commentary lines about specific cases on the serve

- Strike : the volley drop shop is now a bit less efficient (ie: the opponent has a bit more time to reach it)
- Strike : the drop shot is now a bit more efficient
- Strike : the slice requires a tiny less preparation time to be hit efficiently
- Service : the strong and normal services on the 2nd serve have now significantly less precision (to simulate the stress)

- Acceleration style : the Heavy Hitter handicap wasn't applied
- Service : the services that should have been fast could actually end up being quite slow
- World Tour : fixed a few issues when setting up a doubles tournament, especially with more than 1 human players

- I didn't test too much how was working TEM2 inside TE4, so if you notice any issues, please let me know :fear:
- If you play with the Mod XKT, you'll have to disable it (by setting the Default profile) to be able to see the TEM2 icon in the Main menu and activate it

The v1.5.4 patch brings new consumable items, longer decay times, and small UI improvements.

Items and Loot

• Introduced new single use items, which are activated using the consumable slots, similar to Potions. But unlike potions, these are for more general world abilities, such as AoE attacks or circle spells.
  
• Rare, Epic, and Legendary loot will now take longer to decay when on the ground than more common items. Rare items will despawn after 90 seconds, legendary and epic items will spawn after 2 minutes. Common and uncommon loot will still despawn after 1 minute.

NPCS

• Nerfed two overpowered NPC special abilities.
  
• Added new random loot to a variety of NPCs. Spell casters and demons, primarily.

User Interface

• Changed the Remove Skill tooltip text to be Replace Skill, as that more accurately reflected what the option did. It can be used to both replace a skill slot with a different skill, or it can return the slot to empty.
  
• Skill tooltips on the action bar now indicate that you can use ALT+Left Click to replace a skill in all circumstances. Previously it would display this information if the slot was empty. But once you slotted a skill, there was no indication of how to remove or replace it. That has been fixed.

Miscellaneous

• Localization updates.

A special version of the Leopard 2 series tank, which has been specifically designed for urban combat, featuring improved defensive capabilities. Meet this new German top-tier tank, coming in the “Sons of Attila” update!


Features:

• Additional armor — useful protection!
  
• Modern Fire Control System.
  
• Upgraded engine to help compensate for the additional armor.
  
• .50 Cal gun on the turret roof.
  
• Bulldozer blade.

The Leopard 2 PSO will be coming to the game at rank VII of the German ground forces research tree in the upcoming major update “Sons of Attila”! This upgraded variant will offer more protection, as well as a new engine and additional combat capabilities. Let’s dive further into the details!




Specifically designed for urban combat environments, the Leopard 2 PSO features additional modules of armor that have been added to the sides of the hull and turret — which are typically the most vulnerable areas of the Leopard’s armor layout. Thanks to the addition of this extra protection, the Leopard 2 PSO will now have increased survivability against shaped charge rounds, as well as hits against autocannon fire. These additional armor modules can also improve protection against kinetic shells fired from other MBTs, but typically kinetic shells will have no problem against this extra protection!




Moving onto a more obvious part of the Leopard 2 PSO, which is the large dozer blade that is located at the front. The purpose of this dozer blade was to clear any obstructions that the tank may face, and in the game, will be able to move terrain around on the map — the same as any other dozer blade. It also gives additional protection, especially against shaped charged shells and guided missiles!

Furthermore, in addition to new armor, the Leopard 2 PSO received a Euro-Powerpack engine and a new transmission. This has been added to help with the weight of the additional added armor, and despite its higher HP, you will not notice any improvements to the speed compared to previous Leopard 2 versions. As for ammunition that can be fired, the Leopard 2 PSO features a new, exciting DM11 high-explosive shell to play with. And, as with previous Leopard 2 variants that you are familiar with, the Leopard 2 PSO features excellent shells and firepower, a laser rangefinder, as well as thermal imaging for the commander and gunner.




That’s this dev blog wrapped! The specifically designed urban warfare Leopard 2 PSO will be waiting for you at the end of the German research tree with the release of the “Sons of Attila” update! Though, before that, we’ll continue to release dev blogs so that you will be able to see what else we’ve got coming. See you soon!
