Hey all, this update addresses some huge problems with Showdowns, and adds some handy new features that many have requested. Thanks for being patient while I stamped out the bugs and made some new tweaks.

Here's what's been changed:

• Showdowns work properly now! There were some problems I overlooked with the new way scoring was being calculated. Now match showdowns and Master of The House victories should be weighed against each other as originally intended.
  
  
• New Camera Lock option for those who found the camera movement to be unsettling.
  
  
• For Windows, you can now map the directional axes in Uncommon controller mode.
  
  
• Slashing the Goo in Cemetery levels no longer stalls you like normal walls.
  
  
• Moving Platforms move during level select again.
  
  
• Player No. displays above pause menu.

Here's some other bug fixes:

• Bug Fix for players getting a point for killing themselves after a sword clash
  
• Fixed infinite falling corpses.
  
• Fixed Crash if player picks up a head and lays down.
  
• Alternate blood display mode if shaders are not supported by your system.

Thanks to the feedback I got from tweets, emails, and from here on steam, I was able to whip up a patch that should address a couple dire bugs people encountered.
I also took the chance to polish some other corners of the game.

This patch includes the following:

• Screen Scaling fix. Large window should no longer have tiny playable space.
  
• 1v3 Team Battles fixed
  
• Fixed crash bug with shooting bullets into the portal in Cemetery level "Crossing". Also, bullets now come out from the other side instead of just disappearing.
  
• Fixed crazy slowdown in Fortress level "Sink".
  
• 'Uncommon' gamepad setting fix.
  
• Better feedback for hitting rocks.
  
• 4 frame input buffer for sword strikes.
  
• Control configuration names are saved and no longer default to 'arrows + poiu' etc.
  
• Fixed pixel tearing above spawn points in some snow levels.
  
• Fixed Player 4's kills/lives not showing up.
  
• Fixed bodies vanishing when touching moving platforms.

If you encounter any weirdness yourself, feel free to email me at teknopants@gmail.com, tweet me @teknopants, or just shout really really loud so I can hear you no matter where you are.
Just kidding don't wake the neighbors.

Over the past year, my teammates and I at Heart Machine have been working nonstop on Hyper Light Drifter—but I've been using my off time to continue improving Samurai Gunn.
All those extra late nights and weekends of hard work have now come together into a huge (and free!) Samurai Gunn update!

Here’s what’s new:

I know a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this. Please help me spread the word that the Mac version is now available!

I've added 11 new levels, as well as a new level select interface. Listening to player comments and emails gave me a lot of new ideas that I've implemented. I hope you enjoy them!

Master of the House
Grab your friends and play through a random level from each of the four environments. The overall winner claims the title “Master of the House”, and ties are decided by an all new moonlit showdown!
Showdown Shogun
No bullets, no extra lives—just showdowns.

I upgraded the visual feedback for sword clashes, bullets hitting walls, wall stuns, spawn smoke, and more. Interactions feel better and look cleaner. I also added the option to replace the blood spray with cherry blossom petals.

The whole game has widescreen support, and some of the new levels are especially designed for a widescreen setup.

You can now toggle team kills on or off and change the amount of lives or kills per match.

Control Config has been overhauled to make everything easier. Xinput is easily recognized so Xbox 360 controllers and the drivers which support PS4 and Xbox One now have easy, one-button autoconfig. Players who enjoy Madcatz and other varieties of controllers can still use the ‘uncommon’ gamepad setting to configure controls however they like.

shhhh…



Known Issues:

While Auto-Config is dependable on windows, it seems to be a little touchy on Mac right now. You may have to input joystick buttons for a player before Auto-Config can find that joystick's ID.
Different operating systems and even different pieces of hardware treat joysticks differently, and navigating those nuances is a painstaking process. If you are experiencing trouble, please let me know and explain the order of events you tried.

On Mac, there seems to be a single frame of fuchsia that flashes when returning to the title screen.
