v1124 - Endgame + Special Events Reloaded!



After completing all 50 missions (including the new Special Event missions) the end game mission is available.

In addition to the new maps and missions, I have been busy prettying up the UI:



- NEW:
skill and suit mod icons.

While these are marketplace assets, they look way better than anything I can design! While the visual aspects of a game are important, the actual core gameplay has always been my focus. I will be putting together some custom artwork to replace these once I have the full set of skills and mods programmed into the game.

RECENT BUG FIXES:
- FIXED: mission select preview images where the wrong image would show
- FIXED: broken navigation meshes (squirrels would only hop slowly around map)
- FIXED: map loading bug for Paradise Squirreled missions where it would crash to logo / restart
- FIXED: mission select screen where accept mission button no longer shows if no missions left
- FIXED: XP transfer to never before loaded character in character select
- FIXED: Player squirrel death events. AI no longer tracks phantom squirrel.



- NEW: Main menu 'Continue' and 'New Game' buttons

Creating a new game will clear all progress in current save! Be careful... a pop up confirmation dialogue coming soon!

- ADDED: all missions now have corresponding Steam Achievements. Currently 55 Steam Achievements active. More artwork coming soon!

- BALANCE: specials will spawn at an increased rate.

Instead of spawning 1 per wave, the number will increase per subsequent wave. This is still experimental and may be modified depending on player feedback and game performance.



- MULTIPLAYER: added multiplayer explanation and notes to host setup screen

Explains listen server + note: you can host a game and play the missions just like single player, but any players that join while in a mission will spawn as a 'chipped squirrel'.



- UNLOCKED: special event zones added with Squirrelloween and Winter Wonderland maps + 5 missions

- REVERTED: Quad Bike handling (needs work!)
