Keyboard Warrior: Dreamstate

Version 1.5.1

Massive fixes to time slowdown problems.

I just finished implementing a system that tracks all active time slowdowns and automatically defaults to the lowest one. That means time slowdowns will now consistently work how they are supposed to.

Also, just for fun. I added a new terminal command ability called "boost".

Boost increases damage and knockback by 25% for 8 seconds and has a 16-second terminal cooldown.

Also, the command terminal can now be opened while enemies are paused. (This also fixes a bug where if you had the terminal open on the survival level-up screen you would be soft locked)

Also, the command terminal's duration timer has been removed. That means you now have as long as you need to type your abilities. (Atleast before enemies get you).

Enjoy,
Cosmos

Nov 14: Terminal command slowdown increased

To make it easier to type commands in the heat of battle, the amount that the terminal command line slows down enemies has been increased from 50% to 75%.

Version 1.5.0: Terminal commands, secondaries in campaign, and visual reworks!

COMMANDS ARE HERE!



Keyboard Warrior: Dreamstate's vision is now complete.



Terminal commands are commands accessed by typing a command into the terminal command line (accessed via the Tab key).



Time is slowed by 50% while the terminal is up, you have three seconds to type your command before it closes!

Using a command will incur a terminal cooldown. The cooldown time varies based on the ability.



Here's a current list of all commands that can be found in game:

Pack - fully charge a special
Heal - heal 4 hp
Purge - deal huge damage to all enemies on the screen
Dagger - spawn a seeking dagger for 10 seconds
Frenzy - Frenzy of bullets
Pulse - activate a pulse
Boom - deploy two bombs

Secondaries in Campaign





Secondaries can now be used in Campaign and Rogue.

Not much to say here.

Enjoy!
