NOTES
The Beta update is now out! This officially ends the Alpha stage which means our focus will now shift from the core game to the replayability and cosmetic content of the game. To start, I’ve provided documentation below that describes the major additions for this update.
Documentation
Shop & Inventory
The shop and inventory is a newly added feature that allows players to purchase and equip items with the new Cash currency that’s earned when playing the game.
In the lobby you’re now able to meet the Cosmetics Guy where he’ll sell you new weapons, skins, and emotes for a fee. With the cash you earn from defeating enemies & destroying vehicles, any items purchased here can be equipped in your inventory screen which is accessible at the lockers or on your sidebar.
With a proper per-class inventory system being added, this called for the removal of the old Character Type setting. Any default or event skins previously available there have now just been moved to your inventory! Any skins that have different styles available will be marked with a shirt icon. Upon clicking, a different page with all the styles owned will display.
Weapons & Reputation
The biggest feature included in this update are the new weapon unlocks. Each class has been given a set of new weapons that can be unlocked or purchased that each have their own statistics, strengths, downsides, and use cases.
With weapon unlocks comes in a new rank system, which goes under the name “Reputation” here. Reputation requirements are set on each unlockable weapon with your current reputation determining the price. As you reach it’s requirement, the weapon will drastically decrease in price until it eventually is just rewarded to you for reaching that level if you did not end up purchasing it early.
Your reputation will increase as you earn credit (fancier name for XP) based on your own performance in a wave. Once you hit the maximum threshold, your reputation will increase by one, your credit will reset back to zero, and your maximum credit threshold will increase by a bit. Reputation is currently capped to 15, though may increase in the future if we deem it necessary. Your current reputation can be viewed by highlighting yourself on the playerlist or in the statistics menu.
For our first batch of weapons, we’ve kept things pretty safe as we need to start out a basic set to get an idea for how far we can take our ideas. Gunslinger’s new primaries both fall under a rifle type, Medic’s new primary being an alternative to the Heal Gun’s function, and Psycho’s primaries being some stat-swap shotguns with a handful of differences to stock.
With weapon unlocks existing, the idea is not to make the higher levelled guns objectively better than everything else, but to rather keep everything equally balanced to the best of our abilities. With this being a pretty game-changing feature that we want to make sure is handled correctly, we especially want to hear input from the community on the balancing!
Cable Train
The Cable Train is a new train type added with this update! This train trades the space given by any other train for a single bulky sector that provides a flat area on the outside and relatively good cover on the inside. For upgrades, everything carries over though the Extra Sector is buyable right away for some more space similar to the Bullet train.
Valued Contractor
The Valued Contractor is a new gamepass that serves as this game’s VIP. Upon purchase, you’ll receive a handful of cosmetic benefits both in the short and long term. The current benefits include:
- Special “Luxury” style for the Defaults
- Special chat & character tag
- 1.25X multiplier for Cash & Credit earned
In the future, we plan on adding a special gold skin for the stock weapons when weapon skins are added alongside granting a sale on any featured items when the respective page in the shop is added. Any current or future benefits to this gamepass will remain STRICTLY cosmetic and will never feature any pay to win elements.
Break Room
The break room serves as a replacement for the “Playing/Idle” button on the sidebar. The previously confusing sidebar button has been replaced with a physical space in the lobby players can enter to sit any waves out. When a player wishes to participate again, all they’ll need to do is walk outside of this room during the intermission and they’ll be brought back into the game.
For any players that are automatically detected as being idle, they’ll be teleported here during the intermission or sent straight to spectate if this occurs during a wave.
