[p][/p][h2]Strike System[/h2]
  • [p]Reworked the Strike system backend. Now instead of slowing down on the ends of the bars it will keep its momentum all the way through and “Bounce” off the edges. [/p]
    • [p](Moved From Trig based Sin wave equation to a linear equation)[/p]
  • [p]Made the starting point for the strike system Random. [/p]

New Monster + Reworks + Emotes + Fixes

[p][/p]
Added a new monster… The Stalker.
  • [p]This new creature will lurk around players during the day time becoming more aggressive as the day continues. [/p]
  • [p]During the day time, unless you approach the Stalker, you won't be in any direct danger; however, the Stalker has a deep hatred for TNT. If the stalker finds out you are going to use TNT against him, he will enter a rage mode and hunt you down.[/p]
  • [p]As the sun goes down, the Stalker will lurk closer and closer to you until it is pitch dark at which point he becomes very aggressive.[/p]
  • [p]If you manage to kill the Stalker, you will be well rewarded as his corpse makes for some of the best bait in the game[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Reworked the Fishing Algorithm a bit on the backend
  • [p]Now clients should have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced Lag on the First part of the fishing minigame.[/p]
  • [p]The size of the fish and species of the fish now go into how fast the first minigame bar moves. (Before it was the base Strike Value) (This should make it harder for players to predict the species of fish based on the first minigame)[/p]
[p][/p][h2]Change Rot so that it occurs once every morning instead of once every 5 minutes.[/h2]
  • [p]Cooked Rot changed from 2.5% every 5 minutes to 5% every day.[/p]
  • [p]Regular Rot changed from 5% every 5 minutes to 10% every day.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Added 5 new Emotes ( I was held hostage by a reviewer)[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Fixed bug that would cause the game to end whenever quota was not met.

This should also fix the bug that prevents you from placing tunnels.[/p][p]Fixed a weather bug on the jungle map.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for playing Gone Fishing ! ! [/p]

Lots of Optimizations and Bug Fixes

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Finished the perk system overhaul. This fixed a variety of bugs related to the perk system
Added new logic to each monster, which checks if the creature sees you before it can execute and kill logic. This was added to prevent players from being killed through walls
Updated the beer count image[/p][p]Rewrote the quota logic so that each time a fish is dropped/taken out of the altar, the game will calculate if quota is met. There has been a bug where some fish are rotting in the altar and a few other edge cases. By checking if quota is met the exact moment you drop a fish in the altar, the game will know whether to kill a player or not when players go to sleep regardless of fish rot or other potential bugs.[/p][p]Updated the shadow/lighting system to fix several lighting bugs and improve shadow detail[/p][p]Updated the minnows hitbox to make it easier to pick up[/p][p]Turned Down Jumping in Water splash sfx. [/p][p]Fixed issue that spawned in a floating bat[/p][p]Turned Down some of the Jumping in grass sfx.
Fixed various bugs with the anaconda creature[/p][p]Fixed a bug where the jungle boat could become undrivable
Fixed a bug with the serpent creature on how it handled killing players[/p][p]Fixed a bug where the cat could get stuck in locations and not return home because the cat’s home location was not properly set[/p][p]Fixed a bug where clients would end up receiving the host’s perks[/p][p]Backend Optimizations for leaderboard stuff [/p][p]Fixed a bug where area under bridges would not have a nav mesh for ai to path find. [/p][p]Toned Down the Giant Mekong Catfish Weight[/p][p]Fixed end game cutscene not playing[/p][p]
[/p]
