Not big bug fix.

As was teased at in the last update, the next patch has a rather large graphics overhaul for the in level graphics. This includes new unit models new enemy models and new tile sets for all the levels. Right now I have just finished all the character models and am moving on to redoing some of the less sightly (made earlier in the development process) enemies. I'm hoping to patch about half the new graphics in about a month and then do the other half a month after that.

As far as new content goes the second of the two matches will be including a new wave defense mission type which will have a snow variant and a abandoned vessel variant. This will feature a few new enemy types as well. Once the art overhaul is done adding the 5th tileset/ 7th boss fight in will be the priority though that's too far out to give a reasonable time frame.

That's all for now, just wanted to keep people updated and let it be known that work is still being done at a solid pace. As always feel free to join the discord and report and bugs you might find.

Thanks for playing!

Every sub-menu now has a button to close it or an instruction on how to close it. That should make the game less annoying to navigate!

Have fun,

Tom

We are thrilled to announce the public release of version 0.30, now out of beta! This version introduces a plethora of new features and content for you to explore.

Please note that while we’ve made significant progress, not all features and systems are complete. There are still many works in progress and new features to be added. However, we’ve completed all game-breaking features, including the new save system and multiplayer system.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to load game saves from v0.20 and older in this version due to the implementation of a new game save system. This change allows us to add new features and content more flexibly.

Here's a list of fixes in this patch:

• Small additions to 3rd mission (stealable boat, another trader)
  
• Made some pipes on the walls on Mission 2 climbable

• Storing the current state of time bombs in save
  
• Map view improvements
  
• Small changes to missions after a couple of playthroughs
  
• Fixed weapons dropped by passing out/dying enemies falling through floor in the mine

• Boat can be now rowed with a body on it (don't know why you would, but you can...)
  
• Holding the "ready to throw" button while falling to water caused a bug, which is now fixed (same thing with climbing and vaulting)
