UpGun peaked with 220 concurrent players last week end.
Since I did a lot of work in the last update some issues appeared and were fixed :
The sensibility wasn't correct when controlling a drone.
The sensibility wasn't set for the first 0.2s after spawning.
This was fixed the very next day on the beta branch. I took a lot of time to rewrite the save system in cpp in order to access it from the base classes of the game code.
Since I rewrote the save, your settings have been reset.
I took some time to also add a very requested feature, deck renaming. If you play with decks, you can now rename your decks to easily find them.
Other changes : - Fixed an issue where some players could not access mutators. - Updated the spoutnik collision.
New update ! UpGun goes to space !
Hey ! Long time no see, I had a lot of work on another project (Blood Rush) that required most of my time that past year, but things on cooling down and I was able to cook again for UpGun. So I'm back with a new update with new content!
New content like,
A brand new map !
Discover the USS, the UpGun Space Station! The gravity feels lower somehow, but still, be careful to no fall off to the moon. This is best played with 3-4 players.
New mutators !
This update instead of new upgrades introduces 3 new mutators to spice up your games!
Low gravity (available in the free version)
Bring the low gravity from the new Space Station map to the old ones to revisit them!
Grenade spawner
You can now turn yourself into a living grenade spawner and spawn a new grenade at your location every 5 secondes! And obviously these grenades inherit your grenade upgrades.
Only knife
(by popular demand!) Take the Gun out of UpGun, and you can only fight your friends with your screw driver.
New cosmetics !
New cosmetics are available to drop !
I also made some changes to the game, here is the
Changelog :
Updated the spawn algorythm.
The sensitivity settings affects the controller now. (you might need to reconfigure your sensitivity)
Faster piercing bullets will pierce thicker walls.
Added a trail behind grenades, the trail will adapt to the team color.
Buffed the Pointy Knife upgrade to deal 888 damage on max level.
Added a small Valentine's day seasonnal event.
Bug fixes :
- Fixed an issue when the homing bullets markers showed up in the top left corner of the screen. - Fixed a typo on the BSOD cosmetic screen (thanks to ZNS for the fixed texture) - Updated Oil Rig's icon to reflect the finished map design - Fixed a hole in a ceiling in Oil rig. - Fixed motion blur option not being saved properly - Optimized the particle systems - Added the seasonnal events to Arcadium. - The team names are now translated in various languages. - Fixed "WaterCooling" not being really effective. - Remade all the footsteps code with Easy Foot Step. (my plugin) - misc fixes
I really hope you like this update ! Another one is coming this summer with a new map, new skills and gifts !
