I'm Coming

v1.27.1: Fix world consistency & load times

Fixed a bug that caused different worlds to be generated between save & load cycles. This also caused slow load times, as the game would have to find a proper place to spawn you in the changing world. Now backup locations and world generation should be consistent across saves. I also made adjustments to enemy spawns, so they should be more consistent between game saves too.

v1.27: Improved explosion + fog effects & more


  1. Fog has been redesigned to match the horizon better and start at certain distances based on weather patterns
  2. Explosion particle effects have been adjusted and includes new textures
  3. Focus Engine updated to v4.3, which includes better gamepad support (8089 isn't designed to use a gamepad, but you should now be able to map some input to a gamepad)


Enjoy!

  • Fixed bugs related to the resolution pulldown menu & restarting the application if changed
  • Other minor engine improvements


EDIT: Temporarilly rollback due to a bug.
