MADNESS: Project Nexus News

Added: Laugh track for Slaughter Time complete
Added: Invulnerability Powerup drop for Arena
Tweak: Hand-to-hand Finishers can now only happen when you have one (or fewer) dudes swarming you. They were always meant to be "cool endings" to combat, so now that's a thing. As a result, we've also tweaked the Power Finisher skill to apply to any unarmed kill.
Tweak: Disabling your UI Hud doesn't force the cutscene bars to appear anymore.
Tweak: Taser Pistol and Flare Pistol cleaned up and available for purchase at Quartermaster
Fixed: DoT deaths to elemental effects (fire, etc.) will provoke the proper death animations.
Fixed: The game no longer resets your difficulty to Tourist (aka Easy) if you don't reselect your difficulty every time you play a stage (even though it shows the difficulty you picked last time).
Fixed: Sometimes you'd attack in slow motion if interrupted while doing a melee finisher.

Fixed: An optimization in the last update caused Sweet Spots to seemingly disappear.
Fixed: Elves could crash your game. Merry Friggin Christmas.
Tweak: Upped damage on Slaughter Time weapons.

Fixed: April Fools!
Added: The new Slaughter Time ™ is now cleaned up. Go achieve glory!
Added: Enemy Slaughter Time ™ weapons kill you in a lovely way.

Feature: Brand new HIGH DEF character models!
Feature: The new Slaughter Time Arena Stage is in! It replaces Murder Room for now (it may be back soon).
Added: Hit registration flash when you or your enemy are hit. Game feels much more arcade-y with this on, and we like it. This can be enabled/disabled from the Optons menu.
Added: Electrocution and Burning deaths.
Added: Stun Gun & Flare Gun weapons, for dealing low-tier shock and burn damage.
Tweak: Improvements to how NPCs upgrade their alert status by witnessing an ally who is also alert.

-Added: New gloves! They're like fingerless, but with fingers.
-Added: MERC Power Saw weapon.
-Tweak: Weapon themes for Arena Waves has been instituted! Factions will only pick from weapons appropriate to them, regardless of tier, unless they have no others available.
-Fixed: Enemies should no longer approach you if you're locked into a cutscene.
-Fixed: Reassembling your squad (as per some Story cutscenes) could cause all sorts of problems if not done correctly. Should be more reliable now.
