Alpha 0.0.5 Update: Chainsaw, Sticky Bomb, Warrior Blocking and [REDACTED]


Hello everyone! This update brings a lot of stuff I had been wanting to add for a LONG time.

The main features are the introduction of the CHAINSAW and the MAGNETIC BOMB, the ability to block attacks while using the Warrior skin, lighting improvements, and some [REDACTED] stuff.

-NEW WEAPON: CHAINSAW

A deadly device in close combat, rev it up and mince some monkey meat. But be careful: it is so noisy that having it running will alert every monkey in the map of your position, and it's not very fuel-efficient... You can turn it off pressing the MENU button, but be aware that starting it up again can take a while!

The chainsaw can appear randomly on the map, stuck to certain soldier corpses. It has a guaranteed spawn on Supersoldier mode, and is less common in standard or horror mode.

The chainsaw has an entry on the Item Spawner.

-NEW WEAPON: MAGNETIC BOMB

A device with the explosive power of a fragmentation grenade that can stick to surfaces. While holding a Magnetic Bomb, press MENU to arm it (it will light up). After putting it against a surface (or throwing it) it will stick to it, and initiate a 3 second countdown. Extremely deadly when combined with the cloaking device. Be wary of smart monkeys that will charge at you after getting a magnetic bomb on them!

The Magnetic Bomb has an entry on the Item Spawner.

-NEW SKIN ABILITY: WARRIOR BLOCKING/HARD PUNCHING

To add to the "each robot skin has an actual ability" thing, the Warrior skin now has some meaty perks to it: you can block Mandrillian attacks and you can dish out powerful punches without being overclocked.

To block, you have to have your hands close to each other and close to your head. You can block while wielding any weapon, and you can even block from behind if you're skillful enough.

Blocks start absorbing all damage, but will start draining your block resistance. Once it's at half, you'll start taking a percentage of the attack damage until you just take full damage even while blocking.

The "hard punching" is an ability that was already present in Supersoldier mode, but now you can take that to any other mode as it's now linked to the Warrior skin. Combine it with the blocking to counterattack the mandrillians!

-CEO MINIQUEST ADDITIONS: SPOILERS! (CHECK WHAT'S NEW AT THE BOTTOM)

-New secret weapon in the CEO room

BUG FIXES, IMPROVEMENTS:

-Added lightprobe lighting to the entire map. Now dynamic objects should react more accurately to environment lighting.

-Fixed some animation corner case weirdness for the monkeys

-Made it harder for the VR player to "jump over" the monkeys in certain situations

-Fixed the wrong cartridge appearing in the beginning of a match with infinite sidearm ammo and Dart Gun or Big Iron starters.

-Fixed bug that made monkeys moonwalk into the void if the victory room activated while they were jumping a vent.

SPOILER ZONE

As some of you might now, there is some stuff going on with the CEO Office area. So far it has been little more than a little easter egg that could only be accessed via the Item Spawner. Now it's a little more than that.

The CEO Office won't open anymore by just using a Max Clearance card on the gate console. You will need to input a code, and that code will be on certain small item that has a random spawn position in the map.

Inside the CEO Office, something that so far has been just a prop has now become the most powerful weapon in the game. Have fun with it!

This little minigame is still not complete, as the way to get the Max Clearance card still requires either having a lot of luck or just using the item spawner. That will change in the future.

Now, for a full spoilery changelog related to the CEO Office:

-Added one-try code to open the CEO Office door.

-The SPHYXN lighter that appears in a random location of the map has the solution inside its lid.

-New weapon: SWORD. You can take the Sword from the CEO's back. It has no item spawner entry. It is a 1-hit kill.
