changedMuzzle Flashes, Shells, and SmokeGun muzzle effects and smoke have also now been updated to show up in the replay! Finally your replays will start to feel like a real full detail action scene. Make John Woo proud with choreographing your own ballistic shootout.

addedTHIRD PERSON MODEWith all of the updates to the replay player, I couldn't resist adding a proper third-person mode to the game! Soon you will be able to experience all of Maximum Action from a whole new perspective. And of course workshop weapons are supported as well!

addedJUNGLEProgress on 2 new levels. The Jungle rework and sequel. As well as Arctic 2

addedJUNGLEThe tank boss fight sequence in Jungle is being reworked to be a more dynamic and destructive! I designed a new AI and locomotion system for the tank where it will naturally crest and roll over the terrain and crash through objects.

addedARCTIC 2Andy (OptionalSpace) has been hard at work on the runway section of Arctic 2! Lots of new destructible walls and an improved layout. Our goal is to make the runway one of the most climactic set pieces in the game.

DESTRUCTION UPDATES

New particle effects and destruction. A new spark effect and a whole new optimized particle driven destruction system is coming soon. Even small objects like bottle and cups will dynamically react to your bullets.

CONTROLLER GLYPHS

Better controller support and SteamDeck Verification in the works. When playing with a controller proper glyphs will now show up throughout the game. The controller re-binding menu has been reworked to also show the glyphs and work much more consistently.

Even some controller support has been added to the editor!

ASPECT RATIO SUPPORT

UI has been fixed to better support 4:3 16:10 and ultra-wide monitor resolutions! Play the game in 4:3 for the true arcade experience.

LOCALIZATION

Localization! The Simplified Chinese localization is also still in the works and more language support is coming soon.
