Movement. Signal's clean. Range 10 meters and closing...Xenomarine is transitioning to FULL RELEASE on 24th April 2019!

This update is mainly aimed at improving performance in some key areas, which should result in increased framerates and faster load times for most players.

NEW: improved average framerates on most systems
NEW: time taken to generate new level significantly reduced
MOD: darkened fog of war shadows
FIX: bug with log messages when destroying walls etc
FIX: scout drone not sorting in inventory

A few minor fixes:

FIX: bug with unintended motion of player direction indicator
FIX: wall tiles at the edge of the map made indestructible
FIX: added plural to log message when trying to push group of alien eggs
FIX: confusing log message when trying to use antipack to cure incorrect status
MOD: minor adjustment to responsivity when holding down movement keys

Apologies to those who bought or updated the game and tried to get past level 3 between 11pm on the 14th and 11am on the 15th (Pacific time), you would have been blocked by a message telling you this was the Demo version. This was due to a bug introduced in Beta 0.91, itself a hotfix for a minor problem with the Steam leaderboards. As of 11am Pacific Time on the 15th this bug has been fixed (but to be safe, check the version number on the splash screen and make sure you are not playing 0.91).

Beta 0.91

FIX: bug with leaderboard entries being made for zero kills/levels reached

Beta: 0.92

FIX: bug limiting the game to the first three levels (introduced in Beta 0.91)
