Storm Area 51: September 20th 2019

Patch 19

  • Quit option works on the main menu.
  • Pause menu - coming soon!
  • Implemented basic camera collision, so the camera attempts to move out of colliding areas. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can do in the time possible. Please let me know what you think!
  • Level 2 should now be completable
  • Smoke Grenades should no longer leave behind audio after timing out.
  • Further Tweaks to level 1 patrol routes
  • Reworked Friendly spawn on Level 2, so the runners will flood in from a seperate warehouse. Use them as cover!

Patch 18

  • Fixed more collision issues on Level 1. Gnashed and wailed.
  • Fixed Force field rendering.
  • Substantial improvements to guard patrol routes on Level 2
