The TakeOver
Update#34: New Playable Character
-A new playable character.
-An option for disabling enemy health bars and names.
-Ethan's combos and animations have been polished and updated.
-Megan has been updated, her sprites and animations where created again from scratch.
-Bug fixes and optimizations.
Jackson and Fight Relay mode are meant as bonus unlockables and they will be so when the game is properly released.They will remain unlocked for testing purposes while the game remains in Early Access.
The ability to save button mappings has again been temporarily disabled as it made the game unplayable for some people.
Thank you!
Update#33
Some people experienced problems with their controllers when running the game via Steam last month. Part of the efforts to fix the issue was to remove the ability to save the button mappings, however it appears this was not part of the problem so its now back in the game. If anyone experiences issues again please let me know.
The combo system is also slightly tweaked, you are now given three options on how to finish a combo with a punch:
-Holding up while finishing a combo will launch the enemy vertically, allowing
for juggling opponents in mid air.
-Holding down will smash enemies in to the ground for quick extra damage.
Megan does not have this option.
-Not pressing up or down will result in a normal finisher.
Thank you!
Update#32
Between this and the previous update the gameplay has been smoothed out considerably, especially when the player is getting crowded.
There are still a few bugs to iron out before release however this could be the last update before the game leaves Early Access.
Some people experienced issues with their gamepads this month, unfortunately I was not able to recreate theses problems on my end using an XB360 or an XB1 controller however there have been updates to the input method.
Please let me know if you experience any problems.
Thank you!
