Major Update: Version 0.8 (Build 94)

We are pleased to announce a great update to version 0.8! Changes in this version include:

Leaderboards

• Leaderboards have been reset. We have made many balance changes (with a few more to come), so now seems like the right time for a reset. Sorry about your lost scores and good luck with getting new ones!

New Content

• New challenge mode level: Backfire

• Phantom robot (cloaked!)

New Features

• Credits. Credits can be sped up/slowed down/paused (PgUp/PgDwn/Delete; Left Bumper/Right Bumper/Y)

• We now have "combined" Challenge Mode leaderboard support. Shows sum of scores across all levels within a difficulty level and variant (Infinite or Countdown). Updates every time you complete a level with at least one kill. **Combined** appears in CM level list just like a regular level. Your old scores will be included once you update.

• Secret Levels. These aren't available in Early Access, but you can find their entrances

• Log Entry pickups. You can pick these up in Early Access, but the messages aren't available.

• Ability to delete saves from Save & Load menus

• Names for Cryotube occupants, and a new stats page for them. The full release will add pictures

• New robot variants (new weapons for existing robots). Note that each robot will be either normal or a variant; you won't see both in a single match.

• Ambient Volume control

• Save/Load versioning. It is now not possible to load saves from a previous EA version.

• Default challenge mode loadout. If you change your CM loadout, that loadout will be the default for the rest of the session unless you randomize it or change play types.

• “Randomize Loadout” button for Challenge Mode (see previous item).

• Challenge Mode stats export. Ctrl+C in a menu will copy CM robot stats to the clipboard. Ctrl+A will copy CM powerup drops per robot to the clipboard. Overwrites what was previously there. Format is tab-delimited, so easily pasted into a spreadsheet.

Content Removed

• Outpost. The Outpost demo level is no longer built into the game. However, it’s still available as an add-on level — to to http://media.revivalprod.com/Outpost.zip to download. This is an early test of our support for addon levels.

Features removed

• The View Readme button on main menu.

Tweaks

• Updated the cockpit interior.

• A checkpoint is now created between levels (that is, after completing a level).

• Titan renamed to Triton

• When setting/deleting one half of an axis to movement, automatically set/delete the other one.

• Regardless of in-game settings, VR can be re-centered in the menus with F5 or the seventh button on a controller (generally the left face button on a gamepad).

• Changed ‘Loading’ message to vary based on game type and level.

• Added more ambient audio (levels 2 & 4).

Game Balancing

• Adjusted spawning in Challenge Mode so the ‘small pools’ are larger (that is, it is much less likely to have 8 of the first 10 robots be all the same type).

• Adjusted spawning in CM so it is much less likely to spawn the same enemy twice in a row, further increasing enemy type spread.

• Adjusted robot weapons; in general, slightly slowed down projectiles & lowered damage.

• Further tweaked (weakened) Ogre

• Lowered movement speed for some robots in a couple of cases where they were moving too fast (such as fleeing snipers).

• Lowered Scorpion zig-zagging by a bit

• Rebalanced mass/drag of some bots to make them feel more appropriate

• Changed Harpy & Super Harpy a bit; they hit a bit harder,
