My family has a nightly ritual where, around the dinner table, we each share our favorite part of the day and what we're proudest of. Thanks for making my share tonight an easy one. <3
So it's a setting that makes right-click attack move for certain contexts?
This is the current description from our options menu:
Smart Attack
A method for issuing unit orders without having to select attack or move directly.
Hold: Holding down right-click will command units to follow the mouse and mouse-up will automatically attack. Left-clicking during the hold will cancel the auto-attack.
Right with Left Click: Left-clicking while holding right-click will issue an attack command.
(You can then choose from None, Hold, or Right with Left Click)
Read moreFantastic Update! Really looking forward to the new hero.
For those of you who enjoy the customization options presented by our more advanced progression Gear system, check out some of the fun unlockables Kastiel can offer. (Did you know that unlocked Gear can be used by your other Heroes as well?):
Mass Production: Mech units cost 30% less, Bio units cost 10% more. Units with both tags split the difference.
Maximum Control: After capturing a Creep camp, spawn starting units for all allies.
Resilient Defenses: All units gain +25% Health and cost +1 Supply
When we increase the level cap for Heroes, all Heroes including Kastiel will be able to unlock even more Gear options for this system. We hope Celestial players enjoy what Kastiel brings to the battlefield!
u/FGS_Gerald can you clarify a couple things?
1. Which of these Ge...
(I believe this to be the case, but please note that I’m not a designer and details may have changed.)
Mass Production is open to any Hero and I believe is placed in the level 11 “Socket 1” slot. Maximum Control and Resilient Defenses are Celestial only. I’m not sure, but I believe those are options for the second socket.
I know man, but the nicknames are extremely helpful to help remembering the versions from the consumer side.
0.1.0 is internally codenamed Hunter in case that helps.
Smart Attack
- New option added to reduce the need to choose between move orders and attack orders.
Uhh what exactly does this mean?
It means you will be able to attack move and move with just the mouse vs having to choose just one, for easier one-handed play.
Performance-related Change
Maximum Supply cap in Co-op for all factions has decreased from 300 to 200. We are exploring the impact of this change in addition to the technical work we are doing to address overall performance.
I thought performance issues occur even under 200 supplies?
This is just one change we’re making alongside all the other work going into improving performance.
Vanguard machine lab just says "Decreased from 100/50" but it doesn't say what it was decreased to
Yeah, this should read “Machine Lab cost decreased from 100/100 to 100/50.” The update takes a few minutes to publish.
We haven't forgotten--we still plan to add social features to Stormgate beyond the baseline Steam friends functionality. However, our current top priority is to improve the core game experience (including art, audio, performance, balance, etc.) guided by community feedback. We're excited to roll out those new social features, but they will come further down the line.
Additionally, we believe that offering a variety of fun multiplayer game modes, including an approachable competitive 3v3 mode (we're calling it Team Mayhem), co-op campaign, 3-player co-op missions, and any fun multiplayer custom games the community cooks up using our editor, will all help give friends lots of ways to enjoy the game together.
Hi, maybe it s already the case ti forgive me if that s the case
But a real open communication on balance, with hesitations, options, known issues etc, in a very fluid and graphic display would be excellent, and would create some great nerdy traction
Ofc it would attract some annoying extremists but you cant avoid it and and i bet a dominant margin of balanced ppl would thrive on it, it's such an interesting topic, and deeply connected to the gameplay hence the real spirit of the game
Have you been reading monk's balance commentary? I don't think it's very common for a game team to reveal that level of insight into their balance changes with each patch. Look out for the balance commentary alongside the standard patch notes for this update too. He is extremely busy working on the game and I appreciate the time he takes to write these up for the community.
Anyone else think we should officially name 0.1.0 SPIRIT BOMB?
