Update 5.1.1
Author: Alpherior,
published 3 months ago,
[h3][i]I MAY have finally diagnosed the source of the performance problems - there is a [b]quality option in SETTINGS[/b] that I want you to try if you've been suffering from low framerate. Let me know how much of a difference it makes for you if the game was chugging before. Depending on the response, I'll see what else I can do in terms of actual performance improvements, but I'm hopeful that this will make a [b]big difference[/b] for many players.[/i][/h3]
[h3][b]⚖ BALANCE[/b][/h3][list]
[*][b](perk) Emerald:[/b] Shell + Stone + Emerald is nearly invincible… This perk was never intended to synergize [i]THAT[/i] much with Shield perks (I didn't have Shield in mind at all when I came up with it, honestly). Emerald is changing to "70% chance to ignore hits while at or below 10 Health [b]& 10 Shield[/b]".
[*][b](mode) Shmup Mode:[/b] Turrets with Movespeed now move vertically twice as fast as they used to.
[*][b](turret) Tank:[/b] Should feel better in Shmup Mode now.
[/list]
[h3][b]🔄 CHANGES[/b][/h3][list]
[*][b]Daily Dive:[/b] Made some changes (including expanding upon the list of potential "modifiers" with some potentially really crazy ones). This has resulted in [i]today's[/i] Daily Dive modifiers changing.
[*]The SETTINGS menu has been completely re-organized, and now features a "quality" option.
[/list]
[h3][b]🔨 FIXES[/b][/h3][list]
[*]More fixes that close the gap in terms of how the game behaves at different framerates.
[*]If the Daily Dive changed while you were playing it and you won the run, it would count as a daily win on the [i]new[/i] Daily Dive.
[*][b](mode) Classic:[/b] (Hopefully) fixed the rare chance that an item would appear in the shop that you can't equip (because you've filled all slots of that type).
[*][b](turret) Helix, (mode) Brood:[/b] Helix was able to get extinction mutations in Brood Mode, which shouldn't be possible.
[*][b](turret) Helix:[/b] Projectiles no longer warp to mid-range when Sticky activates.
[*]The GUIDE stated that Bounce adds 400% width to Hitscan weapons (this was recently changed to 500%).
[*]It's no longer possible for your values representing Biomass gained & Biomass spent to [i]decrease[/i] (a certain turret was capable of this…).
[*][b](turret) Jester:[/b] Item prices in the shop will no longer be red if purchasing an item [i]increased[/i] your current total Biomass.
