Rightfully, Beary Arms News

Hello! We've been hard at work with 1.0 content, but wanted to stop by and give our EA release some love. Most of this is QoL updates which will help inform us if we are moving in the right direction with 1.0 content. We are expecting a few more EA updates, but internally we are on the final stretch of 1.0 development.

• Pausing the game now pauses the timer.
  
• Run stats view has been updated to include more stats.

• Weapons will now auto reload when empty, the player no longer has to force a reload.
  
• The pause menu and settings menus have been updated and refreshed.

[h3]Yellow Jacket[/h3]

• The YJ boss arena has been reworked to be more in line with the design of the other dock rooms. We hope this means that there is a little more room to dash around and avoid cyclones and bullets.
  
• Yellow Jacket cyclones now have 1hp and can be shot and destroyed.

Happy new year! In this update we are removing mid run saves. This means that rba will no longer save dungeon/galaxy location during a run; However, inspiration and proove tree progress will continued to be saved. The motivation for this change is to really simplify development and testing on our end. As a really small dev team, testing all the permutations that mid run saves produces is just too much effort for our team. Mid run saves also had a lot of bugs that required a lot of time and investigation to fix, and we honestly do not have time to improve the quality of mid run saves. Instead, that time is being spent on full release features, content, and other critical bug fixes.

We are adding new menus to view lifetime stats and mid run stats. View lifetime stats at the tv in the start room. Mid run stats can be viewed at the tv after beating galaxy masters.

[h2]UI[/h2]

• Holiday is CANCELED.
  
• Run progress is no longer saved mid run. Quitting or ending a run early will result in the next run being started at the beginning. Proove tree progress and inspiration collected are still saved.
  
• A dash indicator has been added to the hud to indicate when Beary's dash is off cooldown.
  
• A timer has been added to record run speed.
