changedSteam post image The Horde Mode update this week (latest on our Discord) was added and greatly expanded the Horde's Ability to murder you. This update introduces some optimizations to the way their mesh instancing and frustrum culling works. We should see less CPU spikes when they are killed en masse. Moving on to the title screen, which previously ate 60% of my GPU's performance because of grass , has been heavily optimized as well, with more coming. Here's a breakdown of what all changed: - Added a co-op buddy respawn countdown - Added a co-op buddy healing ability to heal player 1 (right bumper, V on keyboard) - Added a co-op buddy ammo counter above their heads along with their HP bar. - Removed co-op buddy's dash ability, as they would launch themselves off screen and be teleported to player 1 anyway. The dash button now teleports player 2 to player 1 directly. - Optimized the grass on the title screen to reduce incineration of the GPU - Optimized the new Horde Mode Swarm Enemy/Void Mimic spawn and death behavior to smooth out sudden CPU spikes. That's all! Thanks, and have fun.
