Apocalypse Rising 2 Alpha Changelog 11/1/2019

[Gusmanak]

• Updated player stat management and sprinting mechanic

  • Removed stamina bar and displays from the game
  • Sprinting now causes Hunger and Thirst bars to degrade 2.5x faster
  • While starving, dying of thirst, or both, Health now degrades 2.5x faster while sprinting (you can sprint while a stat bar is empty, at the cost of your Health)
  • Added “stat freezing” effect for stamina boosters (hunger/thirst will stop degrading while a stamina booster is in effect)
  • Changed hunger fill healing amount to 20, was 25 (once the player’s Hunger bar is maximized, 20 Health will be applied - 20 seconds must pass before food can be used to provide more Health)
  • Adjusted how change arrows display on player bars to be more consistent

• Consumable changes

  • Added secondary value buffs/debuffs to some food items, such as items that cost Hunger or Thirst but improve the opposite stat (or items that improve both)
  • Reduced spawn rate for most consumables
  • Added Moldy Bread, Spoiled Milk, Bruised Apple, and Old Banana as new consumable items
  • Reduced the spawn rate of stamina boosters

• Changed some firearm stats

  • Increased recoil for AUG Assault Rifle and XM177 Assault Carbine
  • Increased effective range for all LMGs by ~100 studs (full damage will be dealt at a further distance)
  • Increased damage for Python Revolver
  • Increased headshot multiplier for all LMGs
  • Reduced aim-down-sight accuracy for all LMGs by ~30%
  • Reduced recoil for MP 40 SMG
  • Reduced recoil for M16A1
  • Tweaked recoil for AKS-74U

• Changed ammo spawn rates

  • Most firearms spawn with much less ammo (except Rares)
  • Some firearm magazines like the M60 and M249 boxes will no longer spawn anywhere else, except with the firearm
  • Large capacity magazines have a significantly lower chance of spawning on their own, or with a firearm
  • Ammo that does not spawn with a firearm will provide about half as many bullets, whether it’s a magazine or a box of loose ammo

• Improved doors and windows

  • All door animations updated to avoid zfighting
  • Some swing doors now have specific interaction points
  • All garage doors now have a control box interaction point (in the future this may be changed so garage doors can only be opened from the inside)
  • Most windows now have smashable inner frames, melee weapons or firearms are capable of destroying enough of the window to allow the player to jump through it

• Spawning into an existing character will now always re-spawn you at a new starter spawn point away from players (you will no longer spawn nearby where you left the game)

• Increased swing speed for Hatchet melee weapon

• Improved melee weapon hit detection to prevent hit failure while an infected is staggered (the hatchet is especially more reliable)

• Changed health boosters to allow use even if some amount of previously boosted health remains (boosters cannot be stacked)

• Changed the screen desaturation effect to start at 50% health, was 100%

• Fixed cases where zombie and player corpses would initialize in odd positions

• Fixed some instances of interactable state syncing issues (broken doors)

• Fixed some ground loot failing to load models
