Augments and Achievements Update (Early Access v.0.40)
Patch v.040: Augments and Achievements
This week, Gunlocked goes rogue-wait for it-lite. Persistent unlockable upgrades are here, and they allow players to customize their experience in a multitude of requested ways. From smaller ship hit-boxes, and increasing shields, to build and upgrade consistency, to simply more power from additional special weapons. And all of these upgrades can synergize in all the same way regular weapons and utilities can. There's a lot that can be mixed and matched, and many really strong combinations (some that might not be apparent).
There's more to come with this system, and some augments may become stronger as more content is added, but I think the system is already in a really fun place.
Sorry about the delay, but there was a lot to create and test with this update. So much new content, so many different interactions possible! I hope you enjoy. I'll keep the rest of the notes short, and let you all discover the new content for yourselves. Let me know what you think in the comments and please leave a review if you've been enjoying the game!
One final note: Having moved some content forward with the last two patches, the update numbering on public builds fell out of sync with my internal roadmap, so this patch is 0.40 instead of 0.35
Features
- 20 New augments! Complete research goals (often, but not always, tied to achievements) to unlock and equip powerful new upgrades to your pilot before battle even begins. Each pilot's equipped augments are saved separately. Once you have a build you like, you can easily switch between pilots without having to change the augments every time.
- 20 new achievements to unlock.
Quality of life
- Updated ability icons for all weapons, utilities, and augments.
- You can now press "start" on a gamepad or "control" on a keyboard to jump to the deploy menu instantly in the Mission Menu.
- You can now press any cancel button or key in the Mission Menu to jump to the abort button when not in a sub-menu
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that would cut off achievement text in the achievement viewer if you went to the mission menu, then returned to the achievement viewer
- Fixed a bug causing the game to display the wrong pilot's text until activating the the pilot selection menu (unless Scout was last selected)
- Gravity Wave had the orange effect of a charged Rupture Wave without actually having the Rupture Wave if the Disruptor is equipped
- Fixed a bug that could allow the player to shove the side barrier with the Gravity Wave in the Sting King boss fight
- Fixed an issue that allowed the elite Hercules class ship to spawn during a final boss fight
Hotfix V.0.32c
- Chargeback should no longer reset to default (level 1) attack speed
- Fixed an issue where specific enemy types could trigger death events after scrolling off the bottom of the screen in the Rachni Belt zone
- Fixed an issue with asteroids moving invisibly (and very slowly) during pause
- Empowered Rupture Wave is yellow (instead of magenta) now to better match the color scheme of attacks in the game
Hotfix v.0.32b
- Due to fixing a bug with scoring from previous builds, previous high scores will be hard or impossible to beat. This patch will trigger a one-time score reset.
- Enemy scoring has also been updated. Bonus points for specific enemy types have been increased.
High Score Reset Incoming
Hey everyone! This is just a quick update about high scores. You may have noticed the most recent hotfix significantly reduced your scores.
These scores are actually correct, and previous high scores were a bug. Every time any enemy died, the highest point value ship was being counted due to a funky interaction with loot rolls. When I fixed the loot dropping problem with bosses, I fixed the scoring bug inadvertently (I feel sheepish).
This means that you won't be able to beat your previous high scores, currently. I'm going to be updating score values tomorrow anyway, so when I do that, I will be resetting everyone's high scores. This is what Early Access is for, luckily!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
