Update 0.1.76 Heals, Base, & Grenades


Hey y'all! In this update, we've made significant strides in optimizing performance and enhancing gameplay.

    • Converted the tractor health bar into the player health bar.

    • Added a small invincibility window after getting hit to prevent multiple hits.
    • Adjusted zombie initialization to resolve animation sticking issues.
    • Modified the starting area and civilian escape points.
    • Moved the base location back slightly.
  • New Features:
    • Added medkit usage, heal with "H" key or RB button on gamepad.
    • Introduced grenade pickups.
    • Early base building prototype added: build another floor for $1,000.
    • Added gamepad vibrations for getting hit, shooting, and other interactions.
  • Visual and Lighting Adjustments:
    • Adjusted lighting for a darker setting.
    • All guns now have active flashlights with bigger lights.
    • Added more streetlights for better visibility.
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Resolved a bug where lost match time cash was also emptying the checking account.
    • Adjusted player_look joystick sensitivity and damping.
    • Fixed the bug where SMG and AR were swapped.
    • Corrected weapon base stats, addressing the slow AR fire rate.
