Update 0.5.0
Good morning!
Time for another update, the 0.5.0 update contains several quality-of-life changes requested by you. It also paves the way for some future changes.
I hope the patch improves the overall experience, as usual, please send me your feedback on the forums. If you encounter any issues, I keep a regular eye on the bug thread.
I'd like to improve the update frequency as time permits, this may be challenging due to difficulties in my personal life. Regardless, what day would you prefer to receive weekly/bi-weekly updates?
Time for another update, the 0.5.0 update contains several quality-of-life changes requested by you. It also paves the way for some future changes.
- Tileset overhaul - All existing tiles have been reworked and rebalanced. The workflow will be carried on for future tilesets in the next content update. The new workflow provides improved performance and improved ragdolls with the terrain. There "should" no longer be any disappearing ragdolls, however, I still need to do more testing.
- First iteration of the new tower UI - I've been working on a new tower UI that will allow me to take a modular approach to design the UI, for when I add tower target priorities, and other features. This still needs a LOT of polish, but I'd like to start getting feedback as I work on polishing it.
- Camera Speedup - By popular request, you can now hold the camera speed modifier button (default: "Left Shift") to speed up your camera movement.
- Tesla tower hit visual feedback - I've added some visual feedback to the tesla tower hits, these changes will allow me to do similar things for new towers as I add them. Please provide some feedback on the intensity of the effect.
- Steam Turret added bullet smoke trail - Added a smoke (steam?) trail to the steam rifle turret.
- New console commands - I've added new console commands to access experimental features like changing graphic presets, and accessing damage number overlays. You can access the console (default: "~") and type "help" to see a list of available commands.
Balancing changes - Tower platform number reduced.
- Starting resources changed from 421 to 500.
- Income from later waves reduced.
- Monster HP scaling increased.
- Tesla tower damage is now the same at all ranks, with only range increasing.
