Update 1.0.70 - Early access multiplayer stable release
The new multiplayer update is finally here, there are so many changes that I'll do my best to write down all the changes.
Camera:
- stuttering on the camera when moving the player has been fixed, the game is so much smoother now. So far the problem was caused by differences between the player's update time and the camera's update time.
Player:
- You can select between 3 characters to play as, the 4th player is currently in development.
- You can now see your character's body when looking down :)
- Several improvements on the player's movement and physics calculations, the player should feel fast and responsive to input.
Vehicles:
- Now up to 4 players can get into a car, the first player to get into a car is the driver.
- You can now listen to songs while driving, these songs can be found across the game world.
Difficulty:
- There are 4 difficulty settings now: easy, normal, hard and abducted. When playing on easier difficulties the grays will take a longer time to spot you on the map, damage will be reduced and some more stuff.
Aliens:
- The alien menace rates have been adjusted to balance the game. the alien menace is like a hive mind that controls the aliens AI.
- The grays can now shoot a laser at you.
- The grays can now scream when spotting you.
- The grays will take longer to break a door down
- Ufo's abduction time has been increased, now you have more time to get under the cover of shadows.
Gameplay changes:
- There are two game modes to play, the first one is called Night hunt; on this mode you got to survive one long night, there are two ways to win in this mode you can try to survive untill the sun rises or you can escape the scenario, by doing so you will get some nice bonus. The second mode is called Last stand; in this mode you have to survive as many nights as you can, you can save your progress at dawn but if you get abducted you will lose it.
- Swiming is disabled for now, I need to rework on the swiming mechanics for multiplayer gameplay, also I need to add the new animations for swiming.
Scenarios:
- The game's world has been redesigned and separated into scenarios. currently the first scenario is ready, you will find old places from the original release here like the farm and the gas station. I'm already doing progress on the second and third scenarios but they are not ready, they will be released in order. Once all scenarios are ready I'll stitch them together and have a survival open world game mode.
Input:
- Controller support is disabled for now, as I need to do some fixes to make it work on multiplayer mode.
I'm sure there is a lot more to write down here, but I'll update it once I remember it, lol.
