ALPHA 3.4 OUT NOW: NEW ART, NEW UI & MORE

Hello again!

We're ramping up production big-time and trying to get this game out the door as best as we can!

New Art

Riverguard has had a big art pass. It's now themed as an abandoned castle, and includes new throwables (statues and blocks) as well as a waterfall. The waterfall has unique mechanics, including spawning in objects that float down the river through the castle.

Kairos is now a foggy lighthouse map. It includes new throwables (crates and buoys), and a giant lighthouse. Water buoyancy has been added, meaning some objects thrown into the water will float (couldn't have buoys that didn't float haha). 

Additional art includes new Tower pieces, warrior backpack and grappling hook gun attached to the arm. 

New UI

• End-match screen has been added, which includes stats: Kills and Damage dealt.
• The scoreboard has been updated so it shows warrior lives and each player's username. 
• Additional animations on all UI

New Features

Rocket Ride Boost: When rocket riding, you can now boost by pressing Left Shift (or the West button on controller). Boosting will speed you up and increases damage to the giant when hit, but also reduces your turning ability when flying! 

We've done a bunch of bug fixes, miscellaneous features and tweaks, such as the ability to join in-progress matches as an Observer. Check below for all the updates!

Stay tuned for more 😁

Have fun!
