Early Access Patch 008: The Rocked Us Like A Hurricane Patch – 6th June 2020

Apologies for the patch being a day late. Our city was hit by a cyclone for the first in 130 odd years (2020 is the gift that keeps on giving) and it impacted the team in a variety of ways. The highlight of this patch is the culmination of all the camera controls and control schemes work we have been doing. The default key bindings have changed to the more standard WASD for camera, for example. The aiming scheme has been changed from Bowstring to Click by default as well. These changes were highly requested, and we believe will be more familiar to newcomers as well. The tutorials reflect any changes made.

Controls and Key Bindings
Default controls have been changed. WASD pans the camera, Artillery Cannon has been moved to F, throttle controls have been moved to L Shift and L Control.
Key Bindings are much neater and broken up into sections.
Reseting to default inputs now work as intended.

Tutorials
Tutorials reflect the changes to the default controls.
We have disabled the ability to produce a second AMP in the tutorial sections for now. The second AMP was not triggering a lot of tutorial conditions, so it’s been temporarily disabled. Thanks Zpajro!

UI
Various missing tooltips have been added in. We intend to change the aesthetics and organization of information of the tooltips further in the near future.
