Version 1.1.2cb5430 (Patch 1) — Tumbleweed Express News

Defenders of the West, today is an exciting day! We recently completed our first patch which introduces a few player requested features, includes the release of our original soundtrack as DLC, and contains a few user-experience/bug fixes; please see the patch notes below. Finally, the team recently did a talk and panel discussion at the monthly meeting of IGDA DC which you can read about on our blog and briefly discusses what is next for our team and Tumbleweed Express (if your interested in that sort of thing): http://dirigiballers.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-tale-of-54-game-jams-presentation-and.html

Cheers,

NEW FEATURES:

MISCELLANEOUS :
+Normalized distance culling (disappearing for performance) of Cacti for all graphics quality settings
+Normalized shadow draw distance for all graphics quality settings
+Added new Paint Job tip to the Warehouse loading screen
+Minor performance overhead tweaks
+Drillcar intro-cutscene now specifically refers to the enemy as a ‘Drillcar Looter’ to reduce contract confusion
+Improved slider functionality in all menus
+Improved Fireball trajectory to always pass through the player’s crosshair.
+Some environmental polishing in The Heights (0.2)
+Tweaking credits read outs and background art
+Updated default graphics quality on launcher to "Good" (from "Fastest")
