Horde Hunters News

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
  

Hello. I've spent considerable time on one particular bug, that being the crash with the boss encounter. It's a tough one that I still haven't cracked. However, it doesn't seem to crash quite that often anymore so perhaps it helps some of you (it's quite random). Despite still dealing with this issue, I wanted to release a version because there's other fixes in this that players have come across. Please bare with me as I'm trying my best to work through them. I am on top of other comments and requests as well, but game stopping crashes take precedence. Thank you for all the support so far!

General

• Gamepad cursor is fixed a bit shorter distance away from the player
  
• Some performance improvements especially with a lot of enemies on screen
  

Bugs

• Silent crash on Forest map with boss encounter (still not fully resolved!)
  
• Crash when purchasing both farmer and woodcutter on Road map
  
• Gamepad switching between the purchase items and the menu items, sometimes it fails to register
  
• Gamepad rebinding clashed when switching "A" and "B" and causes navigation issues afterwards
  

The previous version had a pretty big new bug by mistake so this fixes that. Apologies

Bugs
- Could not damage elites or boss during a boss battle

Day 1 fixes!

General

• New setting: Clouds and fog (default: On)
  
• Apple Picker powerup renamed to Fruit Picker. It now applies to berries as well
  
• Small performance improvements
  

Bugfixes

• Bosses can spawn outside of the border in Road map
  
• Issues with boss generation (crash potential) especially in Forest map. Maybe fixed?!
  
• Projectile explosions were not affected by the reduced transparency setting
  
• The "win with no power-ups" achievements were awarded despite having power-ups :/
  
• Benjamin item did not shrink Merle's and Jarvis' ability
  

This post marks the start of the Horde Hunters Early Access journey! I hope you enjoy the game in its current state. I'm looking forward to making it even better with the help of the community.
