Diamonds

Update 5.1 - Patch
With this update you will finally be able to access your power ups. Some of you also had a problem with setting scores and uploading them to the leader boards which caused problems with passing the maps. All of this has been fixed with this Update. Thank you for your patience.

Update 5 - Big Update
Optimization was the number one priority but a lot of features and improvements are included with this update. We'll go over the main ones but there are many more that did not make this list.

Let's start with the maps. They are all locked and must be completed in sequence order. Advancing through with increasingly more difficult high scores. Your high score will be updated to the new Leader boards for you to compete globally or with your friends.

I am also proud to announce a new character. The Spider Diamond which explodes on death and gives you 5 bullets for your assault rifle and 1 shell for your shotgun. The spider diamonds come consistently and gives you plenty of chances to replenish your ammo.

Announcing new power ups - The red diamond now turns your assault rifles into a flame thrower for 45 seconds. The pink diamond gives you 8 supersonic shells loaded into your shotgun. The blue diamond drops a grenade on death (so satisfying to see your revenge kills). Ammo for the power ups have also been re-arrange to improve your experience. The power ups that increased speed have been adjusted to make you faster. Sniper rifle has been adjusted for closer combat game play.

For the actual game play I have added in a alternating spawn system which includes multiple locations so you don't spawn right in front of the Bots. Assault rifle and Shotguns fire rate have been increased to improve the game play. Maps have also been improved by re-arranging the diamonds, adding in teleportation to the office and giving Pyramid a complete remodel.

Added in audio to improve game play which include a countdown and power up available sound. I also adjusted the audio for assault rifles and a long overdue mute button for the guns.
I also added a button layout map during the countdown. The cursor locks when you select a map and auto lock cursor after exiting the pause menu.

These are just a few of the main updates that I think you will enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think of the update feel free to reach out on Steam & Join the Discord server.

Update 3 - Leaderboards & More
This update includes Leaderboards & alot of smaller issues / bugs that have been brought up in reviews and discussions have been fixed. The ones that come to mind are Crouch, Grenade, Character Customization Pricing, Mouse Sensitivity Saves, Damage Indicator & Others.. If you have any problems please reach out. Thank you for you feedback - Nicholas Causey

Update 2 - (Optimization)
With the last update i tried rolling out the multiplayer aspect of this game. It was a failure & It pretty much ruined the gameplay. For this i apologize and will not rush updates again. The last week i have been busy getting the game optimized again and this meant i had to take out multiplayer for the time being. In the future the game will have 2 modes. Arcade (offline) & Matchmaking (online). Unfortunately fixing this issue meant i had to put off adding in requested features such as leaderboard, more customizable controls, power ups, and multiplayer optimization. All of these will be this weeks focus.
