It's A Wipe! News

Olly, who did the music and most of the menus for It's A Wipe! has a new game up on Steam Greenlight! You can check it out here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=577982765

Hello All,

Posting this up a little earlier than the actual anniversary, but we wanted to get some of the big changes we've been working on out to everyone. The biggest item is that this patch introduces a way to make player created raid content and upload it to a Steam Workshop. It's a little rough around the edges, but we hope to refine it time goes on and we get feedback from users. There is also a new option when starting a game to have randomized raiders available.

Here's a full list of what is in this patch:

*Even More RNG!*
- When starting a new game you can select Random or Preset (classic style) raiders. Random will randomize the personalities and availability of raiders. There is still some modification for difficulty settings.

*Better... or, sometimes much worse*
- When playing with the Random raider selection, new perks and disads have been added. Disads only appear on Role-Play or harder difficulty settings.

*Not As Easy As It Looks*
- The ability to design player made raids has been introduced. There is currently 1 demo raid, but we hope that more will be added soon. A guide has been posted with directions on the community page.

*Faster!*
- The speed on slow, normal, and fast have been increased. Slow is now the old normal, normal is now the old fast, and fast is about 50% faster. The fastest game speed remains unchanged. You may need to change your speed setting the next time you load your game. If anyone find any graphical glitches on the new fast please let us know. We ended up disabling a lot of effects on the fastest speed because they didn't display correctly.

*Better Looking Healing*
- Updated the animations for cleric and druid healing.

*TLDR*
- Added some additional tool tip, mainly on the new game screen.

We're interested in feedback on the new player created content and hope that people will be interested in making some! If you are working on content and would like some mechanic that is not currently available, please hit us up on the community forums or via e-mail ([email protected]) and we'll see if we can't get it added in a new patch.

We hope that you enjoy these new changes! And, thank you for playing It's A Wipe!

Hello All,

One big change that should hopefully fix an issue some people have had with the game not loading properly. Apparently the engine would crash out with some graphics cards when doing a check to see if it was Direct 3D compatible. In this build, it now only checks for D3D compatibility if OpenGL fails or Force Direct 3D has been set. Other than that, a minor fix for viewing character are and an updated Steam API.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Now With Less Crashing *
- Updated executable that no longer does extraneous D3D checks.

* That's Not A Cleric! *
- Fixed an issue in view character art, which was showing the wrong image.

* More Steam *
- Updated to use the latest Steam API.

In other news, Player Made Content (and a Steam Workshop) should be coming to Beta shortly!

We're looking to target it being put into the Live build next month for the 1 year Steam anniversary. Right now we've got a system setup to play content, but haven't got an automated builder done yet. If you want to put in your thoughts on this upcoming feature head on over to the community forums.
