6/28/21 FREE Visual Improvement Update!

Waste Walkers,

Hey everyone!

This update is free for all owners of Waste Walkers on Steam! It updates the base game, both story expansions, and the testing grounds expansion. (Waste Walkers, Deliverance, Subsistence, and Awareness)

I thought it was about time for some upgrades again. It's been almost 2 weeks since the last! ;-)

I was reading over some reviews and looking over the files in game and wanted to go back and touch up some things.

What this update does is add new icons to many of the items and menus in game to be more modern themed and to represent what the items actually are. Originally, I didn't have the assets, skills, or time to give all the modern equipment proper icons, but this should help with a bunch of them. I tried to focus on the ones which were clearly lacking. In the menu, it would be very obvious that some of the icon art was out of place (such as crafting showing a sword and plate armor instead of something like a knife and a bulletproof vest) so I have redone those.

Update 2.1.3 Change Log:

Changes & Additions:
-Replaced wooden baseball bat icon art
-Replaced riot helmet (both the faceplate version and regular) icon art
-Replaced machete icon art
-Replaced kukri icon art
-Replaced sickle icon art
-Replaced hatchet icon art
-Replaced leather jacket icon art
-Replaced kevlar jacket icon art
-Replaced bandolier vest icon art
-Replaced cloak icon art
-Replaced work boots icon art
-Replaced "blunt" weaponry icon art in the menu
-Replaced "armor" icon art in the menu
-Replaced "medium armor" icon art in the menu
-Replaced "light armor" icon art in the menu
-Replaced "weapons" icon art in the menu
-Improved game window clarity
-Slightly optimized a few various systems
-Other random minor fixes

NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW GAME, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, VERIFY YOUR GAME FILES THROUGH STEAM!

This should help add a bit more immersion and rectify some of the long term flaws in terms of item/equipment appearance in the game.

That's all for now!

Enjoy!
