Hello, Shoomers Shoppers, it's Summer Sale time!

What was done:

  • KEY REMAPPING FEATURE added to PAUSE -> OPTIONS menu.

  • Updated game engine version (Unreal Engine 5) from 5.2 to 5.4 (needed for key mapping feature).

  • Removed the DLSS Nvidia plugin. Quite strange but this gave FPS boost at a low level of graphics;

  • More types of enemies spawn loot, "Abomination" (big guy) spawns random 3 loot pieces;

  • More (all) types of enemies counted into relevant achievement (kill n-enemies to unlock);

  • ChainSaw makes blood splat/squash additional sound at damage;

  • Fixed bug when Rocket-projectile cause 1 HP damage;

  • Increased Plasma gun damage;

  • Improved lights in E1M0, changed pickups, enemies, small tweaks etc.;

  • Other minor changes;

But there are a few side effects from the game version update: 1: build size increased from 600 to 680 MB; 2: from prev. step: UE 5.4 currently contains bug with direction light: here and here. This causes absence of shadows from ceiling/walls inside some parts of levels. Since it's quite a priority bug, I assume it will be fixed soon by Epic Games in the next version of UE.

Have a nice end of the week. Cheers. -- Serhii.
