Build 57 release notes

Hey, just dropping by with some quality of life updates. This update lays the groundwork for a much bigger update I’m planning (and for which development is nearly complete). I won’t spoil it just yet, but suffice to say, it will BLOW YOU AWAY! 💥

New Features

• Add new explosive barrel type
• Barrels now explode when struck! (*with a strong enough weapon)
• Add new module for dead-end hallways
• Add halos to make mutant miner eyes more obvious

Changes

• Connect spawn room with a hallway instead of a tunnel
• Remove gated doors in earlier levels (all these did was slow the pace)
• Lower probability of gated doors (makes for more tense moments)
• Show actual damage and condition values for melee pick-ups
• Selected weapon slot is now persisted between scenes
• Mutant miners can now be spawned in secret rooms
• Some lockers are now randomly removed
• Various room module changes

Improvements

• Add dedicated animation for breaking plank
• Increase explosion force for broken wall
• Improve module culling (will hopefully give a little framerate boost)
• Add damping for flashlight on/off (greatly reduces the unpleasant strobing effect)
• Various visual improvements
• Decrease physics timestep for smoother physics

Bug Fixes

• Fix glitchy movement when moving through ground props
• Fix longstanding issue with melee pick-up damage comparison being miscalculated
• Fix for explosion force being applied to crate pick-ups
• Fix for player knife position getting offset when changing weapons mid-attack

Enjoy!
