Vast Forecast v0.5.4


New floors! Kinda. This update adds a groundwork for future content, and a million tiny changes.

Content and Additions:

  • Four new floors: Sandspring Oasis, Chillytop Mountain, Bogwood Basin, and Buried Battlefield. Each boss floor has a (placeholder) Smoke Mole fight, but you can progress all the way to Buried Battlefield to get higher-level weapons. These floors are VERY WIP so don't expect anything too exciting.
  • Finished the Paintball Gun, Paintball Shotgun, and Paintball Rifle.

Aesthetic Changes and Improvements:

  • Guns now have a sparkle to show their level. Level 1 is white, level 2 is bronze, level 3 is silver, level 4 is gold, level 5 is diamond. Item and gun sparkles are no longer transparent.
  • The visuals for the day/night cycle have been improved to make it more obvious when it's night.
  • The map has been resprited and a time appears below it. Parts of the UI were moved down.
  • Guns with infinite clip sizes now display your remaining ammo instead of an infinity symbol.
  • The item pickup animation has been changed.
  • The basic bullet has been resprited. Sniper Rifle no longer has a trail effect.
  • Bush has been resprited.
  • The Tree's death animation has been changed. Tree caps now stay on the ground permanently.
  • Forest Mage's cloak and  book now stay on the ground permanently and can splash in water.
  • The teleporter's sprite has been touched up.
  • The chopping grass animation has been touched up.
  • Ink is no longer transparent. It comes full circle!

Balance Changes and Tweaks:

  • Smoke Mole can no longer die in water. He still tries to avoid it, though.
  • Bush's range has been decreased.
  • Forest Mage's range has been increased.
  • Spider Rifle now uses heavy ammo instead of junk.
  • Revolver's damage was increased.
  • Colt's damage was increased.
  • Shield's damage was decreased.
  • Bow has a slower charge speed.

Addressed Issues and Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed the volume sliders only working on the menu music.
  • Fixed lilypads spawning outside of lakes.
  • The top of the map's hitbox is now more accurate.
  • Fixed issues with short grass spawning in a pattern that made empty horizontal lines.
  • Fixed Smoke Mole appearing in a different spot for a frame when he spawned.
