Black Ice May 2021 Update: Couriers!



Hi everyone! superdupergc here, here's the May update! I'm really excited for y'all to try this one.



Highlights
  • Courier missions - Challenge your traversal skills with these timed challenges hidden throughout the world.
  • New Progression UI with additional rewards for leveling and hacking higher level servers
  • AI Updates - smarter ranged hiding, sniping, and keeping distance. Enemies converge better when the hack is ending, and roaming enemies are now able to detect you if you're standing right behind them.
  • Also - enemies stagger from damage for longer, which makes getting in close a little easier.
  • Lots of gorgeous new item and enemy icons
  • Fancy new UI particles
  • Lots of new powerups and item drops to find in the world
  • Upgraded item brands
  • Recycle bin upgrade to reliably give uniques which are subtypes, or tell you if there's no available unique for that item type (but then you should tell me, so i can make one)
  • New and upgraded item skins (Green Cosmic, Gold, and Rose Gold)
  • Balancing (mostly item damage buffs for weird variants) and bugfixes
  • Controller support update - every UI now uses the virtual cursor for consistency and ease of use, and the cursor now has improved handling
  • Lots of item balancing, in particular buffing some of the weirder weapons
  • Tons of bugfixes


Next up, I might do some courier variations, or I might get working on the achievement overhaul and unlock store :)

Happy hacking!
