I am currently experimenting with hit reaction on the skeletal mesh... will see if anything makes it into the next patch! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/d868d539446c89f4c90123a31edf33ad4d788cba.png v1.07.598 PATCH NOTES LEADERBOARDS - fixed some issues with the Game Over leader board - almost sorted!

Given a gun, and a new directive, it appears TPAI will fight to the death once again given 'a cause'... Other factions are rumored to be developing their own AI viruses... NEW & IMPROVED NEW: SHOOTER ENEMY AI - 2 FACTIONS - Squirrelie and Brethren - brethren voice update coming soon! NEW: bullet hit direction indicator IMPROVED: Explodie orange squirrel grenade light proximity activates with countdown. The grenade drops if shot before exploding - then continues count. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/fd39a364570fe53cc935cdc217579c5c3fbe6f30.png PATCH HIGHLIGHTS FIX: Moveable exploding barrel (all maps) UI FIX: pick-up hand stuck active TWEAK: Inter-dimensional Pick & Put (larger collision base) ENEMY: TPAI AI added to all maps MISSIONS: Destroy TPAI mission objectives MAP: Old West lighting updated night with moon MAP: The Derelict map night lighting and moon added MISSIONS updates / tweaks (more with AI Enemy objectives soon) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/311a08098b712fff70f73441ae567030ffad6c54.png SQUIRREL FIX: issue stop move before new move to stop tail wag / jank FIX: Wrath system mutation level counts UI: Wrath report added to in-game overlay UI: Threat Level text counter added UI: Threat Level added to Game Over / Lobby / Mission Selection MULTIPLAYER FIX: Client can break glass WEAPON FIX: sniper projectiles break glass UI: Squirrel Intel updated icon / model {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/18e22c05a9581ad811de2fa790f00fdf14610669.png UI: Merchant player icon (temp fix) GAMEPLAY: Player squirrel free Look added UI: Find body, Rescue, Destroy TPAI objective icons updated BALANCE: Threat Levels no longer automatically increase on continue / wait for rescue BALANCE: Smaller maps have fewer squirrels TUTORIAL: updated Inter-dimensional Pick and Put (IPP) tech with crate stacking.

In the end the compass should just be a compass... plus it will solve some of my compass multiplayer replication issues as well - lol - but mainly I don't think players should have to look to the top of the screen - FOV markers will be patched in ASAP. SPECIAL EVENT MAPS: I've tweaked these maps and will leave them on while I up...v1.07.1288 - Is that you John Squirrel?Dec 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsNEW FEATURE Finally!

More balancing to come... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/70e45d6219a1743e6d12fdc3f925d041e1dbc788.jpg I've also been cleaning up a few things and have re-added destructible windows to buildings in the Squirrel Town mission zone. There is something about hearing squirrels destroying things in the distance... Quality of Life UI Updates One of the pain points for new players were the 'active pickups' not having any UI feedback... this has finally been added! 'Active' pickups and moveable objects now show a hand icon when interaction is possible. Weekly Patch Notes BALANCE: Ultra's AOE SLAM damage updated with smaller radius BALANCE: Destroying an Ultra squirrel lowers the area threat level -1 WRATH: Armour model added to squirrels in-game WRATH: updates on-squirrel wrath effects AURA WRATH: effects added to target squirrels COMPASS: fixed rescue icon not being removed UI QOL: pickup hand icon (about time - lol) UI QOL: drop icon when carrying moveable object UI: fixed Wrath showing on locked maps UI: game over item pickup pane tweaks UI FIX: Wrath rows don't double up on same wrath ability UI TWEAK: padding around new wrath elements UI TWEAK: icon updates MAPS: Squirrel Town - destructible windows re-added. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/dc449d3f5c16335757612d0c196c09ded40e15bb.jpg Hopefully soon I'll will have the hive economy and hive health systems active. This system has turned into a more complex 'hive simulation' than I had initially planned... and will probably need to scale the scope back as I am only 1 person... At it's core the hive system serves to dynamically generate mission parameters and to make in-mission actions affect hive defense, health, happiness and population parameters... still a ways to go! GLHF! Play smart with skill and you just might make it back to the hive... alive...

Play smart, stay sharp, and you just might make it out alive... THE WRATH OF RATATOSK UPDATE Squirrels mutate on mission failure Mutations are saved to mission map So far the end result is a 'squirrels like'... a game that trashes on you even harder the more you suck at it... the idea made me laugh... so I added it to the game... Get good, play smart or DIE BY THE SQUIRREL! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40552680/76ea3a75a49f87bc16ad57f001d76d624caaeb0c.png Mutations include increased speed, health, healing powers and now, finally....

I should have an update within a couple of weeks. Please do post in the forum if you have any feedback or if you run into any show stoppers / crashes. Your save games _should_ work with the new update - do try starting a new hive if you run into any problems. GLHF and I'll see you top-side!
