There's no beating around the bush here, we've gone all out to make the Girldivers final update as special as possible!

[h2]Added Outfits[/h2]


[h2]New Campaign Path, New Planets, New Difficulty[/h2]


[h2]Controller Support + Key Rebinding[/h2]


[h2]The Beach Update[/h2]
We were deep into making the "Beach Update" DLC which included the new outfits and much of the new game content. As a thanks for our first big game we decided to release it all as 100% free content for the full release!

[h2]Full 1.0.0 Changes[/h2]

• Added key rebinding.
  
• Added Island planets!
  
• New HARD path in the campaign spanning 8 planets.
  
• Added auto saving: The game will now save when you return to the ship instead of just when you exit the game. So if you crash or lose power you'll be able to resume at your last ship stop.
  
• Added 6 new achievements
  
• -> "Princess Joins The Crew!" - "Recruit the lovely Princess to join the adventure"
  
• -> "New Path" - "Unlocked difficulty level 9"

• -> "Spider Dash!" - "Begin the hardest path in the game."
  
• -> "The Unstoppable Princess" - "Liberate planets along the hardest path in the game."
  
• -> "How?! (The Perfect 4)" - "Beat the hardest path in the game."
  

New

• New Armor: Beach Panties.
  
• Added 2 new underground maps to the underground objective.
  
• Added game cursors for menu & aiming: No longer just your default PC Cursor!
  
• Clicking or pressing space will now speed up the mission end screen.
  
• Added controls category window to settings.
  
• Added eagle sound effect to planting flags.
  
• Added a hit flash effect to the final boss.
  
• Added a weapon laser attachment when playing with controller.
  
• Added princess version of every weapon sprite so she has purple hands.
  
• Added 'control scheme select' screen (if game is launched not using any parameters)
  

Balancing

• Buffed Sub: Missive damage (32~41 -> 34~42)
  
• Buffed Pressure Sensitive Liberty Bombs damage (150->160)
  
• Buffed Victoria Gun Run gadget damage per impact (40->50)
  
• Buffed Victoria Bombing Run gadget damage per bomb (100->120)
  
• Buffed B.O.O.B damage (48~57 -> 50~60)
  
• Buffed Hot Shot Rocket damage (300->400)

• Grenades now explode faster (1s->0.7s)
  
• Buffed Nature's Breastplate armor (800->1000)
  

Changes

• Adjusted 'time to beat' on final mission, beating the level before the timer goes orange means you're within 15 seconds of my personal record (3:30).
  
• Made so you can use escape to exit the 'thanks for playing' screen.
  
• Big changes to how character assets (in-game sprite frames & outfit frames) are loaded to reduce loading time & memory use.
  
• Recolored the 'retreat' button in the escape menu so it's easier to avoid accidentally clicking it.
  
• Moved Hologirl & her dialogue window on the shop so the stats window obscures less.
  
• Updated the design of the settings screen.
  
• Updated all control displays to pull from the rebind system.
  
• Fixed the close button being off-center in Miss Victoria's screen.
  
• As requested, the game cursor is now confined to the game window.
  
• Reduced scroll sensitivity on all scrollbars for a nicer experience.
  
• Updated French & Russian translations thanks to community submissions on Discord.
  

Fixes

• Fixed dialogue window in the shop scaling incorrectly on different resolutions.
  
• Fixed version text blending into the background.
  
• Fixed planets displaying difficulty stars weird if you went above difficulty 7.
  

Fun Fact

• Originally the game was going to use steam launch options to put the player into keyboard or controller mode. But I decided it was a nicer experience to add it as an in-game menu. But you can still force the game to launch into either keyboard or gamepad mode using the following command line parameters (launch options):
  
• -control_keyboard
  
• -control_gamepad

Don't forget, these features along with new content are coming with full release on November 15th!

[h2]On Full Release: Controller Support is confirmed![/h2]
It was a difficulty decision as adding controller support after the game was already made, and in such a short period of time, would be a monumental task. But we decided it was worth trying!

(Due to file size limitation, see the full controller progress video on Discord)

Keyboard/mouse will remain the recommended way to play the game, but we want to make sure those that want to play on controller for this game have the option to.

[h2]On Full Release: Brand new outfits system for all the divers![/h2]
Customize your characters using the in-game wardrobe, all outfits are unlocked by default.



[h2]Outfit Vote on Discord![/h2]
We invite everyone to vote on your favorite outfit ideas for the divers, the top ones will be added to the game!
Click here to join the Discord & vote

We'll talk about this more in the full release update, but some of this content was originally going to be an after-release DLC. We decided it was better to make it a free update as part of the full game experience!

This new outfit system will require no grinding, you'll have access to all of them for free!

Happy Voting! ;3
