For a limited time, Invisigun Heroes is only $4.50 on all storefronts (Steam, itch.io, Humble). This is most likely the last major update on the road to console release, aside from any bug fix patches that may spring up. All of my work is now focused on the major new content which will be released with the console ports. Stay tuned, thanks for your ongoing support, and spread the word!
The latest patch is now live, with a pretty massive changelog! While most of you will care most about the new features, I’d definitely encourage you to check out all the other updates and fixes. Most notably, you can now edit the match settings without having to leave the player lobby, which should help you keep your group together online. This patch also tremendously improves initial network connections when creating and joining online matches, and a bunch of surrounding edge cases. Alright, on to the shiny stuff!
Ability Boost
Ability Boost is a hero-centric powerup that affects each character in a unique way. It’s now more important than ever to pay attention to what powerups your opponents have picked up, because Ability Boost can really shake up the match dynamics.
Emotes
If you die in a round and other players are still battling out, you can pass the time by choosing a quick emote to display on the scoreboard UI. When the round is over, your chosen emote will also show up over your hero’s remains on the battlefield. Stay tuned for many more emoticons to come in future updates!
Dualshock 4 Lights
Self-explanatory. This was pretty satisfying to add. :)
