Posted 05-05-2013 18:16:53

  • Added a new tile called "SpawnUnknown" which will spawn a random object when the map loads.
  • Reworked the existing (official) maps to utilize random object spawning.
  • Map editor: Most tiles can now be resized, allowing you to create long stretches of one tile type quickly and decreasing the need to copy and paste tiles.
  • Removed the pistol and grenades from the default loadout so that players start with no weapons by default.
  • Slightly increased the spawn rate of the pistol and grenades.
  • Slightly decreased the magnum's fire rate.
  • Slightly decreased the rocket riding speed.
  • Changed how data is stored for the "Sky" and "Weather" properties. These values will be reset on maps saved before this update. Sorry!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be taking a break from regular development on Superfighters Deluxe. We are looking at converting the project from XNA to MonoGame, a multi-platform implementation of the Microsoft XNA framework which will enable us to develop Mac and Linux versions of SFD in the future. Gurt will be looking into the nitty-gritty of the conversion while I focus on moving to a new town and hopefully catching up with some modern games on my new PC. Don't worry though, we'll be back to our usual development "schedule" (such as it is) before too long.
