Introducing: Versus mode! A 2-4 local player mode where you fight your friends! Settings include free-for-all or teams, last-group-standing or kills-for-points, starting health, slow-mo toggle, and changing score to win. Play on a handful of mode-specific maps with randomly generated loadouts. Access it in the Mode Selection menu where you can see the "Classic" and "Survival" modes.
Along with the Versus mode comes some bugfixes and QOL!
Features:
- New Versus Mode (read above for details)
Small Changes:
- Extras: No Enemies extra now causes all doors in the level to open on start
- Extras: Added wording to the About menu to specify you can only unlock extras with 1 player
- Loadout number is now shown next to your loadout UI
- Added game option to hide loadout number
- Levels now support more than one player spawn point
- Player spawn point visual changed
- Ring around the player is slightly less opaque
Bugs fixed:
- Level Editor: Right shift key inputs did not register
- Level Editor: Copying an object made the original object unselectable until map reload
- Level Editor: Inconsistent object selection behavior when selecting an object of the same type
- Extras: Horde enemies only triggered from Player 1
- Extras: Horde extra did not work if No Enemies extra was enabled
- Extras: No Enemies extra soft-locked the game on levels where there are enemy-linked doors
- Extras: Extras settings did not save if changed from the pause menu
- When switching modes, player loadouts did not reflect the correct mode
- Too many audio sources caused some SFX not to register
- Unhandled non-fatal error when player grappled another player and melee'd
- Level timer display bug if player 1 immediately died and others were still playing
- Loadout swapping SFX did not trigger in menus
- Player ring UI would not start at the player's location
The Versus Mode is something I've always wanted to add and am glad it is finally here! However, it leaves a lot to be desired such as custom loadouts and maps, toggling on/off maps, and additional versus game modes such as Keep Away and Capture The Flag to name a few ideas. I may work on these depending on player feedback.
Many of the features added and bugs fixed were pointed out by the community. So, head over to the Community Hub to provide feedback or suggestions (or report bugs)!
Thanks,
