NEW CLASS: THE SAW BLADES. Huge Optimizations, Reworks, and More!

✨ Major Additions / Updates ✨

• A completely new class (5th) has been introduced: the Saw Blades

  • Launch the blade itself, which must return before it can be launched again

  • "Reload Speed", "Range", "Fire Rate" and "Bullet Speed" affect the time between each launch

  • (also, the Maximum Ammo and Ammo Consumption are both locked to 100%, given the fact that you launch the blade itself. Each level makes both the projectile hitbox bigger and increases its speed, making it travel further and faster)

• Fixed the overflow of the damage variables that made them go negative. Now you can reach a virtually infinite amount of damage per shot

💪 Balancing 💪

• You'll now gain the invulnerability status for 2s after reviving

👀 UI and Visuals 👀

• Added screen shake also in the run's menus for doing actions like buying upgrades, leveling up your gun, finishing the cycle animation of an Artifact etc...

• Added scientific notation for damage numbers bigger than 1e+09

• The manual aim crosshair pulses, and it has also been made yellow-red instead of just yellow

• Added a "realistic" camera sway effect during the Viscera map intro

• Added a text in the bottom right corner for when the manual aim is enabled, like for the auto-shoot

• The "manual aim" and "auto-shoot" texts in the bottom right corner now blink when activated

• Raised the opacity of the explosion-generated "Barrage" Upgrade (90%, was 80%)

• Reduced the screenshake intensity of the level 2, 3 and four pistols when shooting (1, was 1.2)

• Completely reworked how the different calls for the screenshake are handled, making it less distracting and more punchy at the same time

🚀 Optimizations 🚀

• Tremendously optimized the lag spikes (now 99% gone) when shooting a large cluster of enemies, caused by the activation of tens of damage numbers in a single frame by queuing the ones in excess for the next frames

• Tremendously optimized the random position selection when spawning an enemy

• Fixed the stutter while changing between classes

🕹️ QoL / Gameplay 🕹️

• The first time you enable the "Manual Aim" feature, you'll be displayed with a confirmation message

• Updated the requirement description for the "Overclock" Card and "Fully Armed" Achievement

🔊 Audio 🔊

• Balanced some of the classes' pick-up audios

🛠️ Fixes 🛠️

• Made the transition between manual aim with mouse and controller seamless and bug-free

• Fixed a bug that made the pause menu invisible when disconnecting the controller

• Fixed a bug that made the last pressed button of the Upgrade menu blink when the menu opened again

Others

• Despite being invisible to the player, I want to address the fact that I completely did from scratch the automatic-bullet-list system for the classes' statistics. It took me 3 days, so I'm gonna write it anyway

• Removed Herobrine
