Horde Hunters News

Hello. This is a bit of a maintenance mixed bag patch. Soon we'll have something a bit more juicier in the works.

General

• Fire missions will mention the building on the event log
  
• All XP gems that merge increase in size. Vanishing effect also added red and orange gems as it was missing
  
• Game will pause when dying and having the Reanimated item
  
• The power-up selection screen will show if the selected map has no use for said power-up
  
• Road map is a bit wider mostly for performance reasons
  

Bugs

• Potential crash with "Trying to set a surface target that does not exist"
  
• Infinite supply of apples when buying wine with exactly 5 apples left
  
• Mission timers run (on the event log only) during a boss fight
  
• Shop discounts did not remain when toggling the freeze items button
  
• Frequent Buyer Card does not shorten the current shop timer
  
• Elites (including boss) may get deactivated if thrown outside the view area far enough during boss battle
  
• Ending a run when having the Reanimated item brings you back to the game
  
• Game may crash with "JSON parse error" if save files have become corrupt
  
• Enemies may suddenly not spawn at all (potentially fixed)
  
• Enemy flickering may still happen at times (potentially fixed)
  

Hello. Just a small release to fix a couple of issues that seemed to occur quite often with players.

Bugs

• Enemies or obstacles may end up flickering on and off
  
• Crash with error "Cannot apply sqrt to NaN"
  

Yesterday's version had a severe bug which is why it was reverted back to the previous version within hours. Apologies. This version fixes that, and brings in a couple of new things as well that have been requested by the community.

General

• New setting: Hotkeys for consumables (keys 1-9) [default: Off]
  
• New function: Reorder consumables through the Character screen
  
• New function: Highlight important reward items (e.g. consumables and skulls) on the map
  

Bugs

• An eventual crash with projectiles (v. 0.3.1)
  
• Key binding texts seen on screen did not update in real-time if swapping controls on the fly
  

Good news! I'm fairly confident that the big crash bug I (and many of you) have been dealing with is finally fixed. Along with that I've added a few QOL things that were requested. Hopefully now that the launch week troubles are behind, we can finally look into the future with some real additions. Stay tuned!

General

• New setting: Apply transparency to party members as well (default: Off)
  
• Projectile transparency setting is now a slider (10-100%)
  
• Setting sliders can be reset to their default value with mouse right click. Master sound level moved as the first choice as well in order
  
• Map info panel lists all of the achievements that have not been completed yet
  
• Character info panel shows total runtime
  
• Slightly fewer weather effects on average
  
• Minor performance improvements
  

Bugs

• Silent crash on Forest map with boss encounter and similar silent crashes elsewhere are hopefully resolved
  
• Level up and elite kill reward may happen at the same time causing issues
  
• Enemy projectiles were affected by the lowered transparency setting
  

Hello. Another day, another attempt at the boss encounter crash. Is it fixed? I don't think so. Is it better?
Maybe. On the bright side of all this, I've made a bunch of performance improvements again as I go through the codebase looking for answers. Thanks for understanding.

General

• Pressing the spacebar closes the Elite Kill Reward screen. Let me know if you'd like this used anywhere else
  
• Some performance improvements yet again
  

Bugs

• Silent crash on Forest map with boss encounter (still not fully resolved!)
  
• Multiple meteorites were ending in wrong places, often outside screen
