Stack Gun Heroes News

The 0.127 update is here and it introduces an experimental translator that will automatically translate the game into up to 14 new languages. Here are the ones supported so far:

• Spanish
  
• Portuguese
  
• Russian
  
• Chinese (Simplified)
  
• Japanese
  
• German
  
• French
  
• Polish
  
• Turkish
  
• Korean
  
• Thai
  
• Italian
  
• Ukrainian
  
• Norwegian
  

I suspect the translations will be far from perfect but it should be infinitely better than nothing for those players who can't read English well.

For any bilingual players out there, let me know how far from perfect the translations actually are. If they turn out good I might be able to mark the game as officially supporting those languages on Steam which would really help our foreign monolingual friends find the game.

Happy stacking!

The 0.126 update is here and it introduces a new mod type: Periodic!

The Periodic mod periodically buffs the next effect in the stack. If you have it before an explosion mod for example, your explosives will be really strong, then normal a few seconds later, then really strong again. This lets you make guns that reward you for timing your shots or doing all your damage in bursts, but it comes at the cost of a less consistent gun.

The Periodic mod is also available in the free demo so anyone who wants to try it out can do so right now!

Complete list of changes included in 0.126:

• Added a new mod effect: Periodic. It periodically improves the next effect that comes after it. For example, if it comes before a speed mod you'll get temporary bursts of speed. If you put it before a Dismember mod you'll do tons of limb damage in the brief windows where the mod is active and normal damage otherwise.
  
• Greatly improved performance on low settings
  
• Improved visuals on low settings
  
• Stack Gun Heroes will now select graphics quality based on your hardware the first time you launch
  
• Added a new "Ugly" preset for users who care only about performance and not prettiness
  
• Fixed a bug causing menus to jitter on certain settings
  

Happy stacking!

The 0.125 update is here and it introduces a new mod type: Spinup!

The Spinup mod spins up faster the longer you fire, and the faster it spins the more it buffs the next mod. So Spinup + Explosion will make a gun that shoots bigger and bigger bombs the longer you hold the trigger. Spinup + Damage will increase damage the longer you hold the trigger, etc. I'm interested to see the guns you guys come up with using this mod. I played around with it a bit and made some cool weapons but I'm sure I only scratched the surface of what's possible.

The Spinup mod is available in the free demo so anyone who wants to give it a whirl can do so right now!

Complete list of changes included in 0.125:
Added a new mod effect: Spinup. It improves the next effect the longer you fire.
This means it has a slightly different effect depending on what comes after, leading to dozens of combinations.
Procedural planet names are more pronouncible and significantly wackier
Added a notification that will warn you when attempting to use a build mod in combat.
Greatly improved text that explains which icons correspond to which resources (Thanks Gorkwobbler!)
Improved icons to show the location of the Virus during missions (Thanks Gorkwobbler!)
Game will now detect if a controller is messing up your inputs and help you troubleshoot (Thanks Gorkwobbler!)
Experiment: Changed the name of certain items and blocks in the demo to see if it's more intuitive.
Stack menu now communicates how to delete mods much better (Thanks Hodhandr, Jack5, Gorkwobbler, and others!)
Stacking tutorial explains where to place the card a little better (Thanks Gorkwobbler and many others!)
Reworked a tutorial message so it can't be missed if you do not see it within 10 seconds. (Thanks Gorkwobbler!)
Fixed text being cutoff in the UI on certain resolutions
Many misc bugfixes and improvements
