Lockdown Protocol 0.22.0 beta released
Second beta release for Lockdown Protocol is ready.
The change log consists mostly of bug fixes and balancing, but there are some new stuff too. I added one new small multiplayer level optimized for two-player local deathmatches. There is also one completely new weapon. I had decided not to add any more weapons, but I "accidentally" created a new pretty weapon while playing around with particles systems. So I finished it and here it is:
I have done a lot of tweaking based on feedback from the previous versions. Most of it aims to make the guards a little less efficient in killing the player and reduce the need to walk through already cleared empty corridors.
Here's full list of changes since 0.21.0 beta release:
- Added full-screen red flash "pain effect".
- Added a new weapon: Plasma cannon.
- Added one more multiplayer level.
- Fixed closing window with title bar close button.
