Bacon May Die

Level select menu!


  • By popular demand added a level select menu when starting a new game
  • Few more outfits
  • Fixed some decoration placement issues

Map decorations

Added some decorations to all of the new backgrounds.

Background makeup

New backgrounds for all the levels. It's up to you, brave players, to find and report any visual glitches you'll discover as some of the items, characters and traps might be displaced.




More polish and map decorations will be added over the next week.

Controller support, some new outfits and weapons

Hello,


  • Added initial gamepad controls (only tested with XBox controller)
  • Added multiple new outfits
  • Added a few new weapons
  • Either improved or broke (most likely) online multiplayer



I could use your feedback on the gamepad controls.

Current scheme is: D-pad works as arrows, X - strike, A - roll, Y - jump, B- also strike (for now).
So I've been thinking, should A and B be strikes in different directions? Also, what to do with shoulders? Nades, skills, dash?

And final question... Do you really want FULL control? As in, no more autorunning.

Cheers!

New outfits and multiplayer fixes


  • Slightly improved performance for the players that join the lobby (should handle more enemies before starting to drop FPS)
  • Added multiple new outfits (unlocked with coins for now)


Working on more performance improvements. Stuff is tricky.

Suggest more outfits, give feedback. You know the drill!

Cheers!

Crash fix


  • Fixed a crash related to one of the randomizer functions


Thanks for sending in the reports!

Play with a friend!

Hello there,

more multiplayer improvements!


  • Removed "slowmo" from multiplayer
  • Improved outfit synchronization
  • Added separate kill and ammo stats
  • Improved pause UI
  • Fixed a bug where host would lock enemies in its view field
  • Fixed random number generators going off sync


And I've made a lot of progress in making sure that game could also be played outside of Steam via external server, which should hopefully allow mobile multiplayer too. But that's for future...

Known issues:

  • sometimes joining a lobby fails to spawn the character (host restarting the game fixes this)
  • sometimes stats get out of sync
  • sometimes enemies die out of sync, but the game is too chaotic to notice


Let me know if you have any issues! Or maybe you have ideas how to spice up online gameplay?

Have fun!

Multiplayer improvements


  • Made the online mode not so secret anymore (need more feedback)
  • Added more enemies and tweaked difficulty
  • Added player portraits (sometimes they reset for some reason)
  • Tried to make network code more stable, but not really sure how that went
  • Fixed some multiplayer-related crashes


Let me know what you think and what should I add to that little game mode!

Our little secret...

Since you're one of the cool ones who do read developer updates, I will reveal that you can find a suspicious new test mode in Training menu. And you might need someone else online to fully try it out! *wink wink*


  • Is it balanced? No.
  • Is it buggy? Yes.
  • Will it crash the game? Likely, yes.
  • Will I be expanding it? Not sure yet.
  • Am I overworked? Oh, yeah.
  • Am I hyped about my game(s) having multiplayer? ABSOLUTELY!



Hope you'll have some fun with it and report any issues (there will be plenty)! I need to take a break, since I really went all-in with my effort trying to make this work.

Known issues:

  • Only host can pause the game
  • Projectiles don't get synced properly
  • Kamikaze enemies can sometimes spawn on you
  • Some (arguably funny) movement glitches


Cheers!

In-game leaderboard


  • Added in-game leaderboard for Blast mode*
  • Delayed enemy spawns for a few seconds before daily mission popup appears
  • Fixed a few possible crashes


* Leaderboard now shows only a single page from global list, but I will probably switch it to friends-only in the future, due to hacking (this is why we can't have nice things) inevitably ruining the top scores
