Welcome back Xenobusters. Originally this was just going to be a quick patch but had a few neat meta gameplay ideas to help mix up those runs. Also I had to make sure there was 67 achievements... :]
18 new meta unlocks... - Brainal Xenoforms: Adds a new rare Xenoform called the Brainal who psychically shields nearby Xenos from harm. - Beacon Room: Adds a new Hackable room which when hacked makes all current Convicts a Priority Convict and all Xenos a Bounty Xenos. - Convict Compensation: Points from escaping Convicts are doubled until a certain amount of Convicts have been Abducted. - Golden Ticket: Can be used to fully Level Up a chosen unlocked Action or Gadget. - Extra Extra Left Action: You can now assign a third Action to the Left Button. - Gadget Pocketeer: Adds another Gadget slot. - Pong Bansheeed: Your sector Pong Balls can now even bust Banshees. - Pong Manoeuvrer: You can steer your sector Pong Balls.
Other new stuff... - The different sectors now have their own colours (so the sectors have more of their own flavour). - 8 new Rewards/Achievements: Fully Actioned, Power Hackathon, Beacon Hackathon, VIP Spotter, Gigald Spotter, Braaains Spotter, Braaains Butcherer, Pong Enjoyer. - 2 new Actions: Beacon Repair, Braaains Lure. - 2 new Gadgets: Beacon Dominance, Brainified Xenoforms. - 1 new Log: Specimen Brainal Xenoforms.
Misc changes... - Escape Menu: When playing a research run there's now an option to quickly start a new run. - Escape Menu: When opened repetitive sound loops will now mute themselves (eg Banshee, TV Anomaly, etc). - Settings - Fullscreen: This has had some changes under the hood (to improve compatibility). - Meta Screen: The top HUD elements have been rearranged (so there's less mouse work needed when changing tabs). - Meta - Pongiphilia: The sector pong ball will now bounce off enemies when busting them (instead of just passing through). - Meta - Pong Bump: The extra speed is now also given when the ball busts a Xenos. - Meta - Priority Lift: The chance for the Convict to become a Priority Convict has been increased to 67% (from 25%). - Meta - Anomalous Specialise: These now have their own chance of giving Special Points (instead of it replacing the regular Research Point gain). - Reward - Marine Frag Party: This now gives Special Meta Points (instead of normal points). - Action - Pongmaxxer: The health of the balls have been increased (so can bust more). - Action - Flare Drop: This now drops a flare near to the cursor (instead of in a random position). - Sector 2 - Special Xenos: Killing it by using the Static Bomb or Battery Room will now also instantly kill its offspring. - Sector 5 - Anomaly Apple: It now can't be destroyed (eg by Marines).
Bug fixes... - Meta Screen: The Confirm button tip wasn't showing when hovering over the unread message box. - Meta - Meta Perusal: You could move the Meta Screen using the right mouse button even if you didn't have this meta unlocked. - Meta - Fractal Banks: They could give too many Meta Points. - Meta - Anomalous Research: Some of them were using Special Points to buy (instead of Research Points). - Gadget - Convict Stim / Xenos Guts: It was wrongly having a 10% effect (instead of 5%). - Gadget - Bodged Repair: The hackable rooms weren't renewing correctly. - Apple - Anomaly_08: It was showing even if the cursor wasn't near the TV. - Fixed a few typos.
Enjoy! :]
