The Swarm - Post-Ludum Dare Update

Now that Ludum Dare voting is over, it's time for a huge (Ludum Dare rule breaking) update!

Release Notes

• Better feedback for player damage, including screen effect and sounds for bites and burning.
• Feedback for pickups, with pickup type and count
• Added weapon penetration, high-velocity rounds (currently only the burst rifle) now penetrate multiple targets (doing less damage to single targets, but allowing damage to multiple targets from a single shot).
• Rearranged UI for better readability - still very much WIP
• Rebalanced kick
• Rebalanced all weapons
• Renamed SMG to Assault Rifle
• Added models for individual weapons
• Improved container and canister models
• Improved alien model
• Added gibs for containers
• Improved foam canister explosion effect
• Added ragdolls for aliens
• Improved alien attack logic
• Fixed damage from acid, acid damage won't stack anymore, so instead of being damaged by 5 patches of acid, you're either being damaged by acid, or you're not.
• Fixed mouse positioning / aiming while camera is moving
• Fixed the bug where the player can get extra time just waiting in the briefing screen (aaaaah, not sure if anyone else knew about this ;) )

You can read here for a more technical breakdown of some of the above changes.

I hope you all enjoy the new release!
