V666 Update: Human Portrait Filtering, Scrolling and VFX updates.

[p]Since we've introduced an endless mode (past night 28) players have been asking for some tools to better cycle and orient themselves through all the human portraits that spawn each night.[/p][p][/p][p]From now on out, you will be able to scroll through human portraits if there are more than 8 and you will also be able to sort those portraits if you'd want by:[/p]
  • [p]Health[/p]
  • [p]Sanity[/p]
  • [p]Tension[/p]
[p]The portraits will by default now also sort insane humans to one side and non-insane humans to the other.[/p][p]We could still expand this system if the need would arise.[/p][p]What would you like to be sortable, or how would you ideally see the human portrait management?
(Keeping in mind it all has to work with controllers as well ;) )[/p][p][/p][p]Just to give you a quick visual glance over how the old and new system compare:[/p][p]NEW[/p][p][/p][p]OLD[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Next to that, we've also added some more VFX flair to the card-unlock screen![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks to all the players that are following us along from the start.
