Cobalt v102 Alpha change-log

Alterations:
Jet shoes are now additive instead of reaching speed. Jet shoes can be used while rolling in the air. While using jet shoes while rolling, you will slow down you roll a lot making you vulnerable, but it also gives you very interesting control mechanics.
Throwing as been reworked. Charge time is now variable depending on how long you press which makes it snappier, throwing will try to push the throw towards your actor trajectory, giving more power over throw direction, as well as throwing in itself is more physical making up/down/backwards and strange middle of roll throws possible.
reworked scope to be a bit more useful, as well as giving a little better bullet time bonus.
auto aim now doesn’t snap back and forth frantically. If you have auto aimed against a target, and it goes behind a wall, you will keep aiming towards the last visible position.
Rolling now slows down reloading by a significant amount..
Simply moving against a conveyor belt will now move you, even if you are not grabbing it like a wall grab.
Added more upgrades to slugger revolver, slugger cobra, slugger pipe and slugger breacher.
Slugger revolver now starts as it should with no extended barrel, so there are now 2 levels. Tweaked it so that starting point is lower than normal, and ending point with max is higher than before.
Tweaked all upgrade prices so that more expensive guns have more expensive upgrades. This is because I want it to be less obvious to get them, so that alternative spending possibilities are considered, and also follow better with the economy that you have when being able to afford expensive guns.
increased price of matter army issue from 250 to 275.
switched price of spike bow and price for spike bow repeater
Sliding backwards up walls is now possible.
Made air rolling backwards as easy as rolling backwards.
Changed weapons on smooth jazz.
The Plus can now be moved with explosions and applied force.
Bomb is now called Thermal Bomb and has had its effect reworked. It is now not instant kill, instead it has damage over time. This makes is less good against tough foes like hamsters and predators. It will also not instantly kill you with shield but will wear your shield down faster than normally. Cost is 50 Volts.
Stick Grenade and Grenade now cost 15 instead of 16.
Improved the handling of the boomerang, also made it harder to hit with bullets.
Tweaked waves in survival house, as well as added 3 new tiers.
Added color blind modes to compensate for Protanopia, Deuteranopia and Tritanopia.
Reworked bird movement to be more fluent.
Added bird wing and breathing sounds and animations for when out of energy
Activated tile physics can now hurt actors!
Elevators can now crush enemies if squished by them.
Increased reload times for bird and shroom as well as lesser recoil recovery speed.
Altered layout and weapons and ai paths on cannon arena.
Missles have slightly more bullet time associated with it.
new map by frall called voodoo!
Bug-fixes:
Blowing up by a bomb no longer screws up the next life.
Fixed crash with trying to join a controller with a removed preset
Plasma assault upgrade names
Fixed stage selection loading everything too early.
Shop windows could be outside of level
laser pointer getting smoke as laser pointer.
fixed enemies being included in the aim over mechanic cause you to raise the gun above enemies instead of pointed against them.
Bounced and deflected projectiles now correctly generate bullet time
Fixed left gas bouncer in position on windy valley.
Added repair broken weapon ai.
Fixed hanging cords gathering speed invisibly, making them jump like crazy when activated. This would often make them render incorrectly too.
Max upgrade level upgrades could be left in the upgrade bench.
Did some optimizations for larger scale actor and ai code which in practice should mean smoother fps at later survival tiers.
Fixed not being able to arrange bots into teams a second time without restarting the game.
Sound at volume 0 now actually doesn’t play the samples. Also, made the sound volume curve exponential so that it has greater precision at low values.
Strange rolling down wall and then not being able to slide up it again bug fixed.
fixed buying weapon, buying upgrade, and then buying the same type of gun again.
improved transition to main menu with transparent menu disabled.
fixed upgrades not being buyable with many of the same gun. Still a bit iffy, but at least it works.
added suicide distance ai to grenades.
Bots should not drop plug for the purpose of throwing it against projectiles now.
Hud elements are now adapted to screen resolution which fixes things like shops being outside of the screen.
reload animations to shroom and bird.
shroom not sticking to ground after punch anymore as well as wall climbing more reliable.
the switches for the doors on the survival maps are now only usable by players.
fixed mouse being visible when it shouldn

We have put together a new version for Cobalt! This update has a number of changes to how certain aspects of the game works, which will be interesting to hear what you think about! We would also love to hear if any color-blind people out there find the color blind modes useful that we added in this version!

Full change-list after the jump!

Harvest 1.17 for Windows

As I wrote earlier I’ve been working on a new patch for Harvest, and now the Windows version is available from our forums. Please help me beta test it (just let me know if it crashes, mmkay?)! I will upload the Mac version as soon as I’ve got it running.

Working on a Harvest Patch

Hey

I’m currently working on a patch for Harvest. I’m updating this forum post with the patch progress, feel free to suggest other changes as well:

http://www.oxeyegames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=490

Currently I’m having difficulties with the Mac version, but as soon as those are sorted out I will upload a beta version of the patch (version 1.17). The reason why the patch needs beta testing is that we’ve changed a lot of things in our engine since the last version (1.14, or 1.16 on Steam), and I’d like to sort out any problems that these changes may cause.

In other words… to be continued.

Latest Versions of Harvest

Hey

I thought it might be a good time to repeat what the latest versions of Harvest are. Currently, the correct version is 1.14 or 1.16. The 1.16 version is only used on Steam, and fixes a couple of Steam-related issues. This version has the same features as the 1.14 version that everybody else is using. If you got the game from Reflexive, this version should already be 1.14, otherwise follow this link:

If you are a Steam user and want to migrate your non-Steam copy there, you can do so by activating the product on Steam with your Harvest license key. This option is only available if you bought the game here before March 2009.

New House Globe

We’ve updated the Windows version of House Globe with a small synchronization fix. It turned out that floating point numbers got all messed up on some computers, but that won’t happen any longer. I recommend you use this version if you plan to play online and record replays.

Harvest Update, Version 1.14

It’s time for another “Harvest: Massive Encounter” update. The new version is numbered 1.14, and is a non-crucial patch that adds mod support to the Creative Mode. We have started a whole new section on the forums related to Harvest modding, head over there now and check out all the mods that are being made! The forum section also contains all the necessary information needed to get started with making your own mod. For example, check out How To Create Mods or How To Create Custom Graphics to get you going. All mods are open source and easily changeable in any text editing tool.

The patch contains the following mods:

  • Emulate Normal Mode: A mod that works just like the Normal Mode.
  • Emulate Rush Mode: A mod that works just like Rush Mode.
  • Emulate Wave Mode: A mod that works just like Wave Mode.
  • Starhawk: A mod that allows the player to send in a small fighter jet with custom graphics by entering “starhawk” in the input field that appears after pressing Enter ingame.
  • Super Gun: A mod that allows the player to upgrade defense towers into bullet spewing super guns! These guns don’t require energy, but instead eat credits when they need to refill ammo.
  • Infinite Credits: A mod that gives the player infinite credits.

Here’s the Mac OS X updater for registered users (2.6 MB). Open the dmg and run the patcher, then simply drag and drop the Harvest application on to the patcher’s window.

The Windows update is available here (1.3 MB). This patcher requires a previous installation of Harvest, simply use the same application folder when you run it.

Happy Modding!

Harvest Update, Version 1.03

It’s time for the first “Harvest: Massive Encounter” update. The new version is numbered 1.03, and is a non-crucial patch that fixes some errors. In other words, if you don’t have any problems with the current version, you don’t need to download this. The fix list:

  • A weird crash bug before “Game Over” which occurred with the OpenGL renderer. This is one of those bugs that make me believe that there’s more to programming than bits and bytes. Somebody or something is out there to get us. Anyway, we added a redundant and “unnecessary” fix, and it seems to work…
  • Removed the gamepad controller from the main game since it caused problems for some people. You can still play with a gamepad in the “easter egg” (check the forums for more info).
  • On the Mac, files are now stored in your user folder instead of the system folder. This should solve some problems people reported on Leopard.

So… here’s the Mac OS X updater for registered users (2 MB). Open the dmg and run the patcher, then simply drag and drop the Harvest application on to the patcher’s window. Simple and elegant, huh? :) We have also updated the demo version, of course. You find it on the downloads page.

The Windows update is available here (1 MB). This patcher requires a previous installation of Harvest, simply use the same application folder when you run it. As above, the demo has been updated and is available from the downloads page.

Update: We’ve patched the patcher now ;) Please try again :)
