RIOT - Civil Unrest News

The team at IVP has been busily working on the RIOT: Civil Unrest level editor. They are currently testing it internally with a view to letting you get your hands on the editor next week (December 21st)! As you can see from the video, it’s a powerful tool. Every aspect of the game can be manipulated, allowing users to create their own custom riots. We want you use it as much as possible over the next few weeks – reporting all feedback to the team in this thread. The game’s producer, Ivan, will post regular updates letting you know about fixes and updates as they happen.

The editor has been designed to work with Steam Workshop, so I’ll stop writing now and let you get creative. Can’t wait to see what you all come up with. Just one caveat, the community will be self-policing and we reserve the right to delete any content we deem to be offensive.

We're working nose-to-the-grindstone to polish RIOT as much as we can.
While we continue our efforts to bring you the best game possible, we've got some highly requested changes to share.
First up, we've had the game professionally translated into our most commonly requested languages.
If you're a Chinese, Japanese or Russian speaker, you can now enjoy the game in your native language!

Also included in this update are a myriad of minor bug fixes and improvements to the game.

This update will go live later today.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback as we continue to develop and improve RIOT.


Kind Regards.

We've got a new update to bring you with some more improvements.

Here's a list of the fixes and additions for this build:

• Added localisations for 'Global Mode'
  
• Fixed a bug that could unlock all of the 'Global Mode' contents when starting with a clean save
  
• Fixed some compatability issues that resulted in a fullscreen purple flash
  
• Fixed a graphical error when using the 'Choir' skill on older graphics cards
  
• Fixed some graphical issues on Mac
  
• Fixed a bug that could glitch the custom menu when removing all Police teams
  
• Fixed journalist photos memory handling
  
• Optimized several shaders for older DirectX versions
  
• Optimized memory for pool handling & for grabbable objects on the ground
  

Russian language and Simplified Chinese language options are currently being added to the game and will be coming soon!

Thanks for playing and...

RIOT ON!

Here's the latest update. All of the details for the update are listed below.

GLOBAL MODE

• New cutscenes added in-game in all levels (work-in-progress for camera movement)
  
• Added interlude scenes between levels (how your actions impact the whole world)
  
• New end-level screen
  
• Some specific levels are now better balanced
  
• Prepared build for additional localisation - coming soon!
  

GENERAL

• The crowd now groups around the leader only when the team is controlled by the player, to get a more realistic crowd behaviour instead of single, isolated groups
  
• Fixed bugs that blocked the start of some levels while using certain combinations of equipment / special characters
  
• Fixed some riot crowd phisycs bugs, in some moments it was creating a force too high compared to the previewed one
  
• Italian text review (still working)
  
• General bugfixing
  

BATTLE OF THE CAMELS

• Level balance strongly modified, the previous one was totally on the rioters side
  
• Fixed camel men animations, who sometimes fell down instead of attacking
  

NOTE
A lot of you guys asked us to be able to use the items you unlock in the global mode in the rest of the game. We are considering that and we'll try to do it in the next updates -but very cautiously to avoid breaking everyone's saved games!

Following the recent release of Global Mode, we've got an additional hot fix update.
For more information on what's been changed, check out the list below:

• Fixed "NEXT" button broken when you finish the last global mode level
  
• Fixed military and political score sync when you unlock a new level
  
• Implemented difficulty progression:
  
  • LVLs 1-4 (4) TOO EASY
    
  • LVLs 5-12 (8) EASY
    
  • LVLs 13-23 (11) NORMAL
    
  • LVLs 24-30 (7) HARD
    
  • LVLs 31-33 (3) TOO HARD
• Fixed NOTAV_1 DATA xml (removing hand grenades and an unexpected Santa Claus xD)
  
• Fixed missing labels in in-game objectives tips
  

Don't forget to let us know what you think of the new Global Mode!


Kind Regards
