It's been a while since the last update and we're delighted to bring a new set of changes to Red Alliance! This is a big update in terms of quality of life improvements. We've fixed numerous bugs & issues as well as brought more balance changes to ammo & resources. We plan to do more updates on the game in the future.
The game is currently on sale on Steam, available at:
Store.steampowered.com
Major changes:
- You can now pick up ammo from all weapon drops instead of just those that match those that you have equipped. This greatly impacts how much total ammo player will end up carrying and makes weapons like Scar-L and AS Val be more likely to be picked up.
- Dropping a weapon will automatically deduct leftover ammo from its magazine.
- Updated Baton animations.
- Player's velocity, as well as objects' and vehicles' velocities are now serialized in save files.
- Added new music to the Outpost battle, container storage facility and laboratories cell block.
- Major code refactoring & memory optimizations, stability improvements. Removed all old leftover network code.
Other changes:
- Explosion Expert achievement now applies only to soldiers.
- Test subjects in the cell block in the final chapter now have more health.
- Improved stealth section in the Outpost sequence of the Red Alliance chapter.
- Gate indicators in the Outpost sequence are now visible on all graphic settings.
- Added a console command to disable video files in the game, to avoid crashing on older hardware. The command is: r_video_files <value>.
- Increased hitboxes of key, keycard and fuse pickups.
- Fixed broken finger bones on all characters.
- Minor level design changes & fixes throughout the game.
- Further ammo & resources rebalances were done.
- Hitting water barrels with baton no longer causes water to leak out of barrels.
