We are happy to announce that Rampage Knights is coming to Nintendo Switch! We expect the game to be released at the beginning of 2019.
We made many performance improvements and fixes under the hood. They will be included in the upcoming PC patch as well. The update is already available in the "beta" branch on Steam for people who want to test it. Note that switching to "beta" branch will reset your saved campaigns in progress, including Endless mode. The beta is for Windows only at the moment. Mac version will be available with the full release.
We plan to test the beta branch for week or two. If no fatal bugs are found, we will release the update to the public. Because the release to the public resets saved campaigns in progress (most importantly the Endless mode), players who want to continue with their campaigns and Endless runs should switch to "version_1_8" branch on Steam. In this branch the current 1.8 version of the game will be kept even after we release the 1.9 patch.
To switch to "beta" (if you want to try the new update) or "version_1_8" (if you want to keep your Endless campaign) on Steam do as follows:
- Right click on Rampage Knights in the Steam Client and click Properties.
- Select the BETAS tab.
- Select either "beta" or "version_1_8" from the combo box.
- The Steam Client will automatically update the game to the selected branch.
Changes:
- Mighty Foot is removed from a room when the last hero leaves, to prevent heroes being stomped immediately after reentry.
- At the beginning of each Shadow World level all buffs and debuffs are properly removed from the hero, including Transmutator potion effect.
- Shadow World is unlocked by Knight achievement instead of Man of War to make it more accessible, so more people can play it.
- New Giant Terrorskull hat reward for Man of War achievement.
- Added inventory limit so you can't have more that 99 stackable items in inventory at once.
- Added second gamepad control scheme for movement using D-pad buttons.
- Updated to newest SDL library and newest gamepad database for better compatibility with various controllers.
- Various performance improvements (rendering, particles, gameplay, startup) in preparation for upcoming Nintendo Switch release
- Fixed an issue with some sounds, which did not play properly while the vsync was disabled.
- A new warning at startup, if the game detects OpenGL version that is below required minimum.
