Black Ice Minor Version 0.6.004 Patch Notes!

Hi everyone! This is a culmination of several indev patches over the past few weeks, mostly aimed at fixing bugs in multiplayer but also adding two new unique items, a bunch of small balancing changes that add up for better quality of life. I think you'll be quite happy with the results!

WARNING: This patch will break previous characters. They'll still load, but they won't be able to regenerate RAM. Please just create a new character. I tried really hard to avoid this, but was unable to.

• BIG CHANGE: TL;DR: 10-Player multiplayer works with no problems now! I did a huge networking code update and you can
• see* it in multiplayer games - all the projectiles move much more smoothly
  
• Added a new unique item: The Disco Dodgeball. Must be picked up after fired, but can be retrieved by activating again
  
• Added another new unique item: The Spicy Meatball, which is a bouncy fireball (with 100% ricochet but no innate piercing)
  
• Added Gisborne Industries as a reference to Mike Bithell's new game, Volume. He's a really nice guy
  
• Players in multiplayer now get a +15% XP bonus for each player past the first
  
• If you cheat, you will be marked as such
  
• April Fool's day joke :) Wait and see!
  

• Shotguns + high accuracy should feel more like shotguns now (more spread)
  
• Nerfed bouncyball damage to be more in line with other weapons
  
• Mine damage has been reduced (including spider mines). I doubt anyone will notice
  
• RAM Regen from leveling has been decreased
  
• RAM and RAM Regen from items has been decreased
  
• Icebreakers cost more RAM per hack now
  
• Lasbreakers do more damage now
  
• Health per Second items now cost more RAM and heal less per level
  

• You can now see the highest level server you've hacked, which is important because:
  
• Shops now sell loot only up to the level of the highest level server you've hacked
  
• GITSfish health has been lowered, but their damage has increased
  
• Bitcred drops have been quadrupled
  
• Multiplayer city size is now set to max at all times - not infinite, but large.
  
• Hacked buildings are much more transparent now, this should let people see the loot better (Known issue: They don't show up on Macs now)
  
• The select button now closes the inventory menu on a controller
  
• Player and enemy movement in multiplayer is much more accurate now
  

• Invert controller toggle works now
  
• Punchthrough achievement works now
  
• The Main Menu should lag less for lower-power machines. I expect this to improve next major patch when I upgrade to Unity 5
  
• Overlapping buildings no longer spawn near the starting area
  
• Nemesized servers now show up properly in multiplayer
  
• Mines are colored appropriately in PVP now
  
• Loot (including dropped credits) from every server is now always the appropriate level
  
• Shared XP in MP now has a minimum of 1, not 0
  

Proof that 10-player multiplayer works :)
