GraveRun News

I made few other games and now I’m coming back with new powers to my best creation - Graverun. On the agenda - to make multiplayer through Internet!

• Added bonus for bullettime. Bullettime is now working in a different way - it slows down the world, but not the player.
  
• Added tutorial help tips about dashing and changing weapon slots.
  
• Added visualization for enemy aiming. Now you can clearly see where someone is aiming. Also you can see when the shot is going to happen.
  
• Added new “RndBonus” loot category, it can choose randomly to drop a jeep or to enable the bullettime. All mobs that had a chance to drop a jeep bonus now have this loot category. Drop chance is 5%.
  

• Changed shooting sound for M60. Now it’s less loud and normalized.
  
• Destroyed vehicle frames now despawn in 30 seconds.
  
• Dash move now has its own button.
  
• Now you don’t have to release weapon triggers to dash. They release themselves when you dash and activate again automatically.
  
• Removed score bonuses and penalties.
  

• Now you can load sound files even if they don’t have extensions in their names.
  

• Updated audio playback function. Now nothing bad will happen if there’s no sound at all.
  
• Fixed the crash error when Forester boss has no one to shoot at.
  

• Now you can set a specific audio driver. Use special launch option: "AudioDriver:DriverName".
  
• Added  "DisableSoundLoading" argument to disable sound loading.
  
• Added "LogSoundsLoading" for detailed sound loading logs.
  
• Added "LogWeaponsLoading" for detailed weapon loading logs.
  

Hello friends! Here’s a new version! 20181213

Сongratulations on the upcoming holidays!
As always, for the time of New Year fever players have put holiday hats on. Apart from headbands, they should have something else to stain in blood, aren’t they? 😅

Write in the comments, what does GraveRun is lacking in your opinion?

New stuff:

• New system to highlight regular enemies and bosses. Now the arrow should point at the boss, if it’s behind the screen. If there’s no enemies on the screen - then the arrow will point in the direction to the closest one.
  
• Added red text when the boss appears. Displayed with a “Boss” scenario line. This line was added to the all levels.
  
• Now, if the game is started with inappropriate graphics mode, it will attempt to find and use the suitable graphics mode.
  

Changes:

• Catapult zombie’s health bar is now visible in survival mode.
  
• Enemies on “Village defense” level won’t get instantly killed after mini boss’ death.

For modders:

• Explosion damage can now be set separately from the main projectile damage. New weapon parameter "ExplosionDamage".
  
• New weapon parameter "BulletOnHPout" - what happens after bullet losing all it’s HP. It can use same values like "BulletOnColl" can.
  
• Now you can change the sprite of a weapon model in player’s hands with “SetImage” command.
  
• Log can now display errors of failing to load a small (Weapon.png) or a big (Weapon_Image.png) files. If the weapon doesn’t use some of these, you should set the value to “Null” so it doesn’t see the error there.
  
• New weapon parameter “MovementAffectsBullets” - allows to disable the impact of player movement on a motion vector of weapon projectiles. In short: allows to shoot straight while running.
  

• Many changes were made to weapons and their upgrades. For example, “Featherweight” can now be unlocked by using a single “Light alloys” upgrade. Previously it would require to upgrade “Fast reload” too, which was confusing for some players.
