Update summary video
Here’s our update summary video from Puddy!
Muzzle flash reduction
Helk has made it easier to see while in the heat of battle. By significantly reducing the size and brightness of the muzzle flash along with removing the associated smoke, targets should be much less obstructed while firing. Here are some before and after examples:
Weapon FOV changes
Along with the muzzle flash being reduced, field of view has been shifted in when aiming down the sights of guns. Also, the resting hold positions of weapons have also been tweaked to look more natural. Here are some before and afters:
More efficient hats
To help with the darker nights as of late, the efficiency of candle and miner hats has been improved. Both now use half the fuel consumption as before, making less of a dent in your low grade fuel reserves.
Dungeon art progress
Vince is back to work on dungeon art. Along with fixing up some things with the new lighthouse, he’s started working on a new set of natural caves. No visuals on these yet, but expect more information in today’s devblog. As with all dungeon art, this work isn’t expected to go live till the next forced wipe (Oct. 6th).
