The big change in this version is the addition of player progression in the form of levels and XP, plus we've also added a Randomize button to the requisition screen to help indecisive or risk-taking players to generate quick load outs!
Attrition: Tactical Fronts - Version 71 Changelog
FIXED
UI: Tutorial highlights are no longer positioned incorrectly at non-16:9 aspect ratios.
Backing out of a skirmish game then starting another can no longer carry over the victory point goal from the previous game.
Multiplayer: The host player now correctly receives a loading screen between unit selection and the game starting.
IMPROVED
Reduced size of game files by approximately 50 MB.
Optimized texture sizes, improving load times and reducing memory usage.
If your requisition timer runs out, your remaining force points will be spent randomly before the game starts.
ADDED
Added Player Profile to main menu.
Player Profile now displays player level and XP/progress to next level.
Added "Randomize" button to the requisition screen, which spends the player's remaining force points randomly. You can then continue to remove, re-pick and re-randomize these choices until the timer runs out.
This week's patch has been delayed 'til next week as we're in the middle of moving office, but here's some progress shots of one of the new features I've been working on!
We're implementing player stats and progression, so you gain XP and levels as you complete missions. Here's a shot of the mission complete victory screen with XP bar:
And a shot of the player profile on the main menu, showing your level and progress:
This info is sync'd to your Steam account and will persist between computers.
Lastly if you'd like to help us test out unstable new features (or just want to try these features early), you can opt into the beta channel on Steam, where these features are available for testing now. (Keep in mind multiplayer is version specific so anyone you want to play with will also have to be on the beta channel.)
See you on the battlefield!
