Subterene

Map system overhaul; should use less space and load faster Probe system overhaul; easier to load, has visual indicators to who what they're doing, and now can repeat their dialogue with a prompted keypress Jammed Drill indicator now appears over blocks Added a silent Overheat indicator over the Jam Indicator so you can tell when you're cooking the engine even with override active Adjusted Override / Overheat. Override now unlocks an additional 20% of overheat meter, letting you burn the engine in exchange for a damage and speed boost Tank top speed increased Tank turn speed increased Tank drill speed increased Tank vent rate increased Adjusted tank slowdown behavior when pressing into walls; should no longer drop all your speed when tapping a tunnel edge too hard Steam: Integrated steam achievements! Added in a new feature: The Radar Pulse Charger (RPC). Holding the radar toggle key instead charges a powerful sonar pulse that will show all drillable rocks and air pockets in a small radius around the tank. This is a feature mostly to help lost players along; now you have both this, the general map layout, and the probes / relays to help direct you. Kind of basic, but the Escape menu now also pauses the game. Audio now initializes properly. Will probably still not be perfect but will be better than before. Reduced Rockswimmer speed All maps updated; they have been reduced in size and should now have far less dead space. At the same time, new points of interest have been added. Cockpit damage; getting hit now causes a visual effect to better immerse the player. New tutorial layout and opening area. While I wanted to have the "metroid-style" open tutorial, I realize the game is a bit too complex for that. So I've made things more explicit, given more direction, and added lots more dialogue to peruse. Fungal area has had a major overhaul with new mission objectives and a much smaller, more maze-like layout. Tank now has a turret! You can aim your bombs with the mouse or right stick. Bombs also have kickback and can be used to move the player in short bursts. Writing overhaul! The story should now make a modicum more sense but I will be continuing to review it in my spare time as I think it's still missing something. Misc. visual updates, including tank sprite being changed for readability. //---------------------------------------------------------------- I plan on coming back to Sub in a bit to continue with quality of life updates, as well as eventually working on a 3D sequel. Stay tuned!
