Patch Notes for version 1.0.3.2 --------------------------------- All AI has had some major improvements to animation, navigation and and are less buggy. Improved team mates - Team mates are more effective against zombies and now run away when attacked. Fixed Icarids and team mates walking through the gate on Onslaught and story mode.

First Patch of 2021 is now available (1.0.3)Jan 14, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsWe all took a step back in 2020. In 2021, we move forward with hope and enthusiasm and our first update of 2021 for Ghostship Chronicles. Patch Notes V1.0.3 __________________ Tutorial The tutorial has been worked on and expanded upon. The tutorial is now much easier and more fun to play. The game now requires you to have completed the tutorial which now emphasizes the main aspects of some crucial gameplay elements much better. New additional content There is an all-new and much more relevant single player onslaught map - Yellani station! Battle a new enemy with lots more fun in a more practical and relevant scenario for an onslaught mode map. There is also a host of new infected which was tried and tested during beta testing which is now in story mode and onslaught maps. Gameplay Quality As an indie game with a lot of unique features and a shoestring budget. This game will receive regular patches and updates over the coming months. In this latest update, the balance and quality of the game have had some major improvements over the last few updates in 2020. We have a fun and extensive game that works great with single-player and over the coming updates we will be extending and fixing up the current multiplayer build. As an honest developer, don`t get this game at this time for multiplayer. In the months ahead, we will be moving forward and get enough testers to release some cool new multiplayer-focused content. Performance Optimisations We have made many optimizations in the game in general and everyone will get much better FPS rates. For ATI based players, there are common Unreal engine Game problems with spikes and irregular gameplay drops. This is something we will always do what we can, but for this release, ATI users should get much better performance than before as well as fewer or no crashes. Feedback from the ATI community is vital to work on this more in the coming updates. Improved lighting The start of the story mode is very dark, some maps are also very dark. With improved scopes (Aiming) there is now much better visibility and some sights see through fog such as the SMG Image Intensification sight. While others such as the battle rifle have a thermal scope with a friend or foe tagging system. The standard assault rifle now has a new sight that eliminates dark areas and highlights pickups and items of interest. Aside from the weapon lighting improvements the flares are now working great and give off much more light. Some decks now have emergency lighting which will help light the area around you while keeping the atmosphere of the game. AI Improved Improved teammate AI and also reduced damage from enemy attacks. They should now help much more and help players got to further chapters with a surviving teammate. Enemy AI is now much better, with bug fixes, and more varied and new enemies which really help the look and feel of the game as well as huge gameplay and experience for new and current players of the game.
