Release is here!

Hey everyone! Release has brought us some new players, and with that influx comes an influx of bugs! We're going to be spending time on the most game-breaking ones over the next week or so. Here's an overview of the game so far!

Current state of the game

Our plans for this release

For this release, we've re-done the entire monster and soldier in efforts to make game-play smoother. This is just the beginning steps of getting them to where they are, we have a lot more planned. Along with some bug fixes, we added these things to the game:

• New controls for the monster including double jump and warp
• Weapons stability updates
• Menu UI Updates, including a controls menu (Will be editable soon)
• New night-vision and thermal for both teams.
• Added a little detail to the sewers, still a long way from done.
• HUD Refactor
• Game-mode stability
• Players become corpses rather than dissapear

Backlog

These are the things we couldn't finish in this update but are working towards in the next one:

• Ledge Climbing
• First and 3rd Person attached spectating

Bug fixes

Here are our fixes since the last update!

• Death sound plays more than once
• Fixed a few places in the sewers where you could glitch through the map
• Spamming r for reload can stop the reload animation
• Monster HUD doesn't correctly destroy itself sometimes
• UI doesn't spawn with monster sometimes after round end.
• On player join, sometimes the monster is unspawned.
• Random Crash we're in the process of fixing. Sometimes you get kicked from your session and the soldier HUD doesn't get removed. Have to exit game.
• General code maintenance.

Known Issues

Game Breaking

These are our top priority right now

• Have to quit the game after leaving session to join another one
• Servers don't show correct amount of players, leading to failed join sessions.

Other Bugs

• Can reload while clip is full
• Using ironsights while reloading causes some weird stuff to happen
• Too much bounce when rifle is fired from hip
• Shotgun fire particle has the wrong rotation
• Sometimes the in-game menu doesn't allow you to press anything, have to alt+f4
• Need screen resolution options for fullscreen and windowed
• Monster glides a little while running
• Kills and deaths inside of the in-game menu are off
• Iron sights only work on the rifle
• Running and equipping the pistol make the pistol not appear in your hand

The Future

We'll be focusing on knocking out the major bugs before we push more features. We plan to push an update out within the next week or so fixing those. :) After we get our backlog cleared up, we'll be moving onto AI so you'll always have someone to play with!

Thanks for trying Mist of the Dark, we can't wait to update more!
