Today's update comes with a 3 new maps, the ability to pick which maps are randomly selected, harder bots, and some new settings!
Features:
Random Map Sets - Pick the maps you want to show up randomly in your games! This lets you practice strategies on a few maps or only play on your favorites!
Harder "Hard" Bots - just a tad smarter. See if you can beat them!
Speedway Map - Race your friends around the edge of this map with explosions all around!
Parallel Praire Map - This whole map is slanted! The first parallelogram-shaped map.
Sequestration Map - An enticing middle section might be your best bet for surviving through this map.
Independent music and sound effect volume adjustment.
Some map balance tweaks and more maps that allow for the "random explosions" setting.
Bug Fixes:
We don't have any bugs yet! Let me know if you find any.
Hope you guys enjoy this update, and please let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback.
While I work on the next update, I just wanted to share a great overview of the game from Video Chums on YouTube! Check it out if you're curious to see how the game plays with bots!
More Controller Support!
Over the past several weeks, I have delayed the release of this game in order to make sure I have the most controller support I can, and I should explain some of the new options for control in Land War:
By default, all controllers connected to the PC will be able to join the war. Bluetooth, Steam Controls, xBox, Nintendo, Playstation, and even unrecognized generic gamepads are usable and will be labeled on the player select screen.
Players join in order rather than in their controller's slot, to avoid issues like the 10th controller plugged into the computer not responding.
There is a new "use xInput" setting available on the settings screen. Turn this one in order to use Steam Controllers or to remap your controls with Steam Input. By default this is currently off.
There is a new setting to toggle between direct input and raw input, two APIs that have different levels of support for different controllers. The default is raw input, but you should try switching this in case your particular controller is having trouble.
Steam is currently reviewing the latest build, and I will set a final release date when it passes!
