There’s a key you need to get to access the control tower, but I’ve had another playtester point out the keycard is in a spot where it really blends in with its environment. I’ve been trying to keep the pickups consistent as simple objects on the ground, but I may need to start making some of them glow or float or something.

If you stay in their line of sight you won’t see many differences, it was more about improving performance and handling edge cases so they don’t blindly dive off cliffs or run into walls trying to chase you.

Thanks for trying it, I still need to come up with more reasons to go underwater.

Standing partially behind an obstacle, mechs will stand still and shoot but not hit you while you can shoot back

I don’t have an easy way to deal with this, a lone AI is never going to outsmart an experienced player.

There’s a crack between two rocks near the end of the first level where I got stuck jumping between them, not sure if you can tell where it is from this pic

Thanks for pointing it out, I can’t find all of these myself.

Oh good catch. I think I’ll just start surrounding these with clip brushes eventually, it’s the only way to be sure.

Thanks for trying it again, not much new to see.

the kill counter sfx at the end of the level is very loud

It’s based on just the regular menu volume level but all the menu sounds files are quite a bit quieter. I’ll change it to the lower of either SFX or Menu sounds.

i always struggle to find the blue key card in the final level, even though i already know where it is. it just doesn’t pop up enough, it almost looks like a normal armor pad or health kit from afar

I can see this being a problem, I don’t really know what to do other than maybe just try to move it elsewhere in the room like maybe on one of the couches. I could put it next to the two dudes in there but you can sometimes alert them from outside and it won’t be much more visible all the way at the far end.

the mech AI seemed smarter at aiming? it actually hit me a few times while i was strading circles around it.

I don’t remember intentionally doing this, but I tweaked the tracking speed and the projectile spread a bit when I was adding the torso twist which definitely would’ve had an effect.
