Black Ice Major Version 0.6 Patch Notes!

Hi everyone! This is what I've been working so hard on, I hope you like it :) This, and showing the game off at PAX South, East, and GDC!

Features:
  • Controller Support! This should "just work" for any controller. Try it out!
  • UI Overhaul - many menus are updated, prettier and easier to use
  • Gorgeous new server/building paint jobs.
  • Added Scorporation minion. All minions are now shiny!
  • Added Antialiasing as an option in the options menu
  • Drastic performance improvements, especially on large cities
  • Added a Colorblind mode for item rarity colors
  • Loot Cubes are a lot more descriptive and easy to see
  • Added new modular projectile type: Bouncy Ball! Reflects off all walls/floors but pierces through enemies. Can hit the same target multiple times!
  • Mysterious new Dark Servers


Changes:
  • Enemy blood particles are now the opposite color of enemies. Rainbow sometimes!
  • 1990 Mode looks better (bloom takes affect afterwards, causing a glowing pixel effect)
  • Scorporation damage has been reduced by 50%, and other balancing tweaks
  • Removed "Simple Reflections" mode. Reflections are now on or off.
  • Buildings drop bitcreds instead of items sometimes now :)
  • Added a big floating $ hologram above shops
  • F7 is now Quick Save


Fixes:
  • Too many to count, but the game is going to run a lot smoother, faster, and better, especially on lower-end machines.
