The 2 major new features are destructible doors and procedurally generated industrial buildings:

New features:

  • Doors can be damaged if a grenade explodes nearby
  • Improved building generation algorithm. 
    • It now generates industrial buildings, as well as residential. 
    • Buildings have more details and textures. 
    • Doors can now be boarded up (only way to open is by using grenades). 
  •  Improved AI
    • AI soldiers can throw grenades at doors to dislodge enemy 
    • AI can now take cover by closing door
    • AI throw grenades more often, and calculate trajectory better
  • Improved mouse handling
    • You can now move soldiers by left clicking and / or dragging move path.
    • Visual indication when mouse is hovering over a soldier.
  • Doors can be opened/closed from the inside left side
