Für 8-Bit Armies ist gestern ein größeres Updates erschienen ( GAME UPDATE #7 – 05/12 @ 16:15 (PST), dieses Update bringt nicht nur neue Features in das Spiel, sondern behebt auch einige kleine Probleme. Besonders Cool sind aber folgende neuen Features in 8-Bit Armies, die sich Spieler gewünscht haben und zwei werden euch sicher aus Command & Conquer bekannt vorkommen.
Beispielsweise könnt Ihr jetzt eueren Teammate Geld Senden, wirklich cool oder? 😉 Außerdem könnt Ihr jetzt euren Mitspielern ein Punkt auf der Karte Markieren, so gibt es offensive und defensive Markierungen. Diese Features habe ich auch schon vermisst, es ist schön zu sehen, wie regelmässig neue Updates zu 8-Bit Armies erscheinen, dass letzte ist auch gerade mal 7 Tage her.
Nun aber zum Update 7:
NEW FEATURES:
- (Player Request): Added a command bar in lower left which shows selected units. Can be hidden or unhidden, and units can be selected from within the group by selecting the sub-group.
- (Player Request): Players can send money to friends playing on the same team. Can use the button in the upper right corner to bring up a special UI for this, or just click any allied unit or structure and click the “Insert” key.
- (Player Request): Players can now ping the map with offensive and defensive pings. Default hotkeys for this are Alt-G and Ctrl-Alt-G, but we are looking to set these to something else in the future.
- All player names are now shown in the upper right corner (used to be just players with nukes). Can be turned on/off/minimized by hitting the F5 key.
- Added social buttons for Facebook and Twitter.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:
- Co-Op campaign mission 1 and 2 difficulty were adjusted to make them more reasonable (especially for the first two co-op missions!)
- All Co-Op campaign missions: AI no longer attempts to kite making it easier for players to use harvesters to crush AI infantry easier.
- Added support for local player crate effects with HUD voice notifications.
- Experimental audio fix for ASUS Xonar shutdown audio issues.
- Changed video default to borderless fullscreen windowed. This will solve problems for some new players. This affects everyone, so just adjust back to your previous settings if you prefer.
- Added check for „Enter“ press while in the password entry dialog.
- When hosting while logged into GOG, the hostname field now shows the proper GOG name not the computer name.
- Fix for unpowered turret animations playing when not supposed to.
- Added additional error messages for when joining a custom match fails.
- Better handling of unicode player names.
- Fix for nuke timer display showing correctly after a loaded save game.
- Fix for unit production time being cut when transferring production between factories while unpowered.
- Updated faction UI colors to be more legible in chat interface.
