There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.
Robot Revolt » Update 0.7 Launch
It is finally here, took a lot of work and we hope you like it! The headlines:
- Controller Support added (keyboard also!)
- Auto-aim added to all weapons (manual mode can be toggled)
- The Ice, EMP and Fire elemental statuses have been implemented
- Rebalanced game, no difficulties, more enemies
- New textures and colors
- 3 new weapons and 2 new items
- 2 new vehicles
- Various gameplay tweaks
- A beta boss fight
Controller support has been added! It should work fully but unfortunately none of us regularly use a controller and we had to improvise 🙂 We really would like your feedback to get this into proper working order. For now we consider this to be in beta.
Auto-aim options added. By default all weapons are now auto-aim. Some weapons can be toggled to use manual aim in the pause-menu. The default behaviour can be changed in options.
Elemental statuses implemented, fire damage causes DoT, ice damage causes a stacking slow and EMP damage cause targets to take bonus damage.
Difficulties have been removed. The only difficulty now is actually a combination of the previous three. Was removed as we felt it really didn’t add anything to the game.
Colors have been added to the game. We tried going for a style and felt it never really hit the spot. We have now added new textures and colors to the environment.
