Hotfix for Patch 0.05e
Bugfixes:
- Fix for Tutorial crash.
- Fix & adjustment for infection hunt radius being extremely large.
Patch 0.05e
Bugfixes & Polish:
Removed resolution options lower than 800x600.
Fixed game starting in a resolution lower than 800x600.
Diversified the roaming behavior of the infection types, some infection types roam more than others now.
Reduced infection spread speed scaling for higher difficulty rankings for better balancing.
Reduced light pop sound radius.
Fixed door shadows and made the holes (made by the infection) have depth.

Alarms: When infected the ship systems will now give alarms and warning messages:

Zero Gravity: First implementation of Zero Gravity: If the Reactor Core turns off there is no longer any power being supplied to the ship’s engines, thus the gravity created from the ship’s acceleration dies down and you’ll find yourself (as well as your tools) floating through the spaceship. Luckily your zero-G training kicks in allowing you to slowly maneuver through the ship regardless.

Improved the Flamethrower particles slightly.
Changed the calculation of difficulty rankings for missions, to give a wider range of choice that scales better with player rank. This also fixes high ranking players only getting very high difficulty ranking missions.
Changed the names of the infections so there’s less confusion with ship systems.
Added an option to turn off the headbob.

The first Random Events:
First implementation of Random Events
2 new Random Events.
If the Reactor Core malfunctions it may cause too high a power surge which causes various things in the ship to malfunction or even explode.
The first Threats:
New growths spawn from the infection, one of them being an eye that watches its surroundings. Once it has spotted a player it will stare at the player. Don't let it stare too long though: it may call its deadlier friends for help.
The original, and now missing, crew of the ship seem to still be alive… of sorts. Beware that they have gone quite insane from being absorbed into the infection and now they may lunge at you from the walls to do the same to you.

Evil Turtle Devlog #1 - 26/6/22
We are currently very busy working on a big patch for the upcoming 'Random Events & Threats' release of the game and given the amount of work & time this patch involves we thought it a good idea to keep you all up to date on what exactly we are working on. You can also follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/EvilTurtleGames) or join our Discord (https://discord.gg/vV7KDVMBZz) to get regular updates.
The patch (version 0.05d) is expected to release sometime next week and has a lot of big fixes and new content, here's some of them:
A lot of crash-related bugfixes. We've been doing some in-depth testing and found/solved a lot of root causes for a lot of crashes involving joining/leaving teams, connection issues, memory cleanup and the infection AI. Some of these bugs were hard to replicate and so took a lot of time to find.
Many small fixes and polish in the player, PDA, weapon and monster code, models and animations.
We're adding the option to disable the head-bobbing, since quite a few of you felt it was uncomfortable and we want people sensitive to motion-sickness to be able to enjoy the game as well.
Missions will now have a wide range of difficulties to choose from. This range scales with player/team rank and will provide much more choice.
The first implementation of Random Events with 2 new Events.
The first implementation of Threats with 2 new Threats.
A detailed list of what's coming can be seen on our public Trello roadmap: https://trello.com/b/Yl5g8Qgo/disinfection-public
Big thanks to everyone whom has provided feedback and bug reports, you've been a great help!
Developer Testing Stream
Hello y'all,
This is our first little stream, to test things out and get the hang of it, so be gentle :) We play the game and talk about the game and not-game related things. We may be playing the Beta/Testing version as well to show some of the stuff we are currently working on.
Come hang out, ask questions, make jokes and lets have a jolly ol' time.
