Listen up, NIMRODS!

We rolled out a small hotfix for NIMRODS that addressed a memory leak that we've discovered.

We are constantly working on improving performance. A lot of the work we've done so far is a big chunk that could potentially break the demo, so we're cherry picking what we can to include it in a fast hotfix to improve the performance in this Demo.


[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a memory leak that could occur
  

Keep in mind this is still a Demo - and you can help support us by wishlisting the game on Steam. It really helps and means the world to us ❤️

Stay amazing, and be sure to continue providing feedback and bug reports!

Listen up, NIMRODS!

We rolled out a small update that addresses a few issues.

As a small team, we've been juggling various aspects of the game, with some team members concentrating on enhancing performance, while others are dedicated to developing future systems that will be introduced in later stages of the game. Stay tuned for more details in the next devlog 😉

Despite NIMRODS appearing deceptively simple, its intricacy lies in the sheer number of bullets that can spawn and the diverse combinations possible (in the millions and more). Such a seemingly straightforward game demands extensive performance adjustments behind the scenes. We've been making significant strides in this area and are committed to ensuring that the game runs seamlessly upon its full release.

While the development process has presented its challenges, we're determined to overcome them and deliver a flawlessly functioning game.


[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where an error could occur on reload if a weapon had an upgrade that can generate XP
  
• Fixed an issue where the Bayonet would sometimes fail to damage enemies in its range
  

Keep staying amazing, and be sure to continue providing feedback and bug reports!
