addedPorted the game to Unreal 5.1 from 4.27. This should be a mostly invisible change, since I haven’t actually started implementing any of the cool new features yet, but it may cause some new bugs. Cool new features to come in future updates ;)
addedAdded “Skip tutorial” checkbox to new game menu
addedAdded option to disable the time limit (and the Human Services airdrops) to the new game menu
addedAdded option to disable infinite ammo to the new game menu. When this is disabled, ammo vendors will spawn in the maps, and enemies will have a chance to drop ammo pickups. This is currently missing some useful UI elements, and the ammo economy definitely needs some balancing, but those will be improved in the next update.
addedAdded background music to main menu
