Hello everyone! Happy new year, even though I’m almost an entire month late- it’s been a busy month though!<\/p>\n
I can’t quite recall what I wrote in the previous dev log of LBKR so if in case I repeat myself, I do apologise. As for the 2.28 release of LBKR, I believe it’s close- could be that I need another 3 or 4 weeks to find bugs and test new content- and do some final adjustments to the release. Looking at my project overview though I’m glad to see that only 15 tasks and 12 bugs are left to fix until my goals for the next version release are fulfilled. (Bugs usually come crawling in groups of billions for each release though so that’ll probably change real quick…)<\/p>\n\n
So what’s new since the last time I posted something?<\/p>\n
6 new exquisite item modifiers<\/span><\/strong>, each belonging to unique items. – Hat-Fuu – Meat-Cluster – Slippery – Rainbows Alot of optimizations has been done in order to sort out some performance issues I noticed in the latter half of the game, this has included improvements and optimizations to code, particle systems, UI and logics, and a vast amount of physics optimizations. ( Physics have been optimized, max time spent on physics calculations \/ frame has been reduced, all in-game ragdolls have been optimized (although this has caused some of them to jitter, trying to adjust this as we speak.), items no longer use physics when dropped )<\/p>\n -2 new secret areas New model and texture for the boss “Lurker”. Also the entire boss encounter has been re-written as the Research Facility map was recreated New credits screen background Fixes- Hello everyone!
