Halloween Sale, 15% discount!
Hey everyone!
The Halloween sale is on, and Intravenous is 15% off for it's duration!
If you've wanted to play the game, or had a friend who really wanted to try the game out - now's a great chance to grab it.
The game recently has had a map editor implemented into it, so now the community can create their own custom scenarios!
Work on joystick support is going well. Gameplay-wise it's already fully implemented, it just needs some visual cues in places where there are none (think various menus, etc.), and testing. Once everything's ready I'll be putting up a BETA version of the joystick support on a beta branch, so that folks can test, give feedback, and report bugs.
Aside from that I've also recently improved shadow filtering in the game for the joystick support update. Not only do shadows look better now, but they also use less of your CPU and GPU resources. Per my testing, a performance improvement of up to 20% can be seen, with an average improvement of 10%! Better visuals and better performance? Now that's a deal I can't say "no" to!

In other words: if you have a low-end graphics card, your game will simply run better. If you had no trouble running the game before, your graphics card will heat up less, as it's doing less work, while outputting an image that looks better than before. :)
Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying the game!
