As the year is coming to a close, development has continued with Barricade. This time I put some focus into optimizing and improving the AI, updating to Godot's 3.5 NavServer for path finding, and fixing bugs (while probably creating a load of new ones).

All this was done in order to pave the path for new enemies to be added to the game. I knew the code the original AI was designed with wasn't going to hold up for release, and if I added more enemies it would have meant even more refactors later.

When it comes to settings, you can never have too many. I've been on the lookout for more settings to add to the game and I'm open to suggestions.

I've added a FOV slider, as an FPS player myself this should be a staple for any FPS game. I've also added a Disable UI option for players who want to take cinematic screenshots and videos. (Or for you masochists that may enjoy the game this way).



🆕 : Upgrade to Godot NavServer for enemy path finding.
🆕 : Added footstep sounds to the Lanker.
🆕 : New animations for Lanker.
🆕 : New attack sounds for Lanker.
🆕 : FOV slider to display settings.
🆕 : Disable UI option to display settings.

🛠 : Removed all props from the map for testing purposes (Oops, I plan on making a new level soon.)
🛠 : Adjusted audio levels for Lanker and Horker.

👩‍💻 : Refactored all zombie scripts.

🐞: Sniper alt fire mode works again.
🐞: Sniper will now get disabled on pause.
🐞: Zombies will properly detect the player and vendo-machine. (Sometimes they wouldn't attack when they should)
🐞: Horker spit will now persist after the Horker has died.
🐞: Pistol and Hammergun UI will now be hidden when the game is paused.
🐞: Pausing the game when the Hammergun isn't in your inventory no longer crashes the game.

Greetings Champions! Here's what happening in the Realm this week:

The year is nearly over, but we still have one more update in us. Aico's Vault is a bonus update to help transition us to the new year & all the fun festivities that we have planned in 2024. From some extra fanservice-y cosmetics to answering the Dragon's Call once more, there's plenty for you all to sink your teeth into when it launches tomorrow!



After the fall of Yagorath, Imani searched for meaning in a world devoid of her kin. After wandering the Realm and learning from the cultures she met, she felt only one course of action made sense. Read her decree to the Realm & answer the Dragon's Call once more Champions!

This is the last TWitR for the year, and what a year it has been! This tradition took a hiatus and changed twice, every game update came with new ups and downs, but no matter what the community stayed strong and created some amazing moments many of us won't forget. From the entire team here at Evil Mojo, we thank you for your passion and playership this year, as well as all the support you've shown us as we continue to work to make Paladins the best it can be. We're so excited to show you all what's next for Paladins in 2024, but until then have a happy holiday season and enjoy Aico's Vault!

This is a larger update than normal, with a number of substantial changes:

• Thematic update We've made the map more reactive to how you play, with the choices you make affecting the environment and your passengers more, and we've reworked the backstory and mechanics around these
  
• Random map generation We can't be the only ones tired of playing the same scenarios over and over, so we have added a map generator. This will eventually support an Endless mode for free play, but for now it is only enabled in the new challenge mode
  
• Challenge mode This new mode gives you a finite amount of time on a fixed map to transport as many people as possible. There a high score board for the competitive, and you can even link your game with your Discord account to "claim" your score in the #highscores channel on our Discord!

There is a lot more about these changes on our blog if you are interested. Next month we will be participating in Steam's Capitalism and Economy Fest, so we'd really appreciate any feedback you may have on how we can polish the build ready for that

Other smaller changes:

• Many UI changes, including a reworked top bar to pack more information in a smaller space!
  
• Many tutorial updates, along with a new section to explain *non-stop* orders
  
• We've added inertial scroll, removed bridge and tunnel length caps, and added a switch to show/hide completed contracts

We've fixed

• A glitch causing town art to disappear and show blank stops
  
• An issue that would prevent saving if you transferred directly from tutorial to Forgotten Valley scenario
  
• A bug where the loading screen would not draw the game if it was booted in the background
  
• An exploit where you could build stations all the way across the map

We'll be updating the mobile build in the next few days once we've playtested it properly. Thanks as always to those who have given us feedback that has helped shape this build. Our plan is to update it regularly over the next few weeks with tweaks and bugfixes in the leadup to the Steam fest

- Changed several Rune visuals
- Updated localization for Spanish
