Here is another Konoko Payne release. The last one before moving back to Switzerland! The main change is that pathfinding is now performed via the Recast & Detour library. It’s just the initial implementation, so you may expect some troubles.

Changelist:

• added achievement stack, to make sure 2 achievements can happen at the same time
• added “friendly fire” achievement (make a sniper kill a NPC)
• “devil kick” achievement now unlocked when performed on 3 enemies
• disabled target lock on thrown characters
• Barabas: “stronger & stronger” sound is now interrupted if Barabas gets thrown
• it should now be possible to select the arrow keys for motion
• removed a lot of duplicate textures on characters
• disabled raycasts on invisible “cubes” around characters
• added trail on “COMCOMPunchHeavy” anim
• used new textures from Severed (there’s an option in the menu)
• the BV when in crouch but with a firearm should be a bit bigger, to avoid going completely through barriers => we now automatically switch off the weapon
• some transitions are now banned when in “locked crouch”, e.g. inside a ventilation duct
• added support for “multiple surface sounds” per texture
• added “ONI” sprites with shadows on title page
• weapon is now dropped from correct height in crouch mode
• added “dash” à la ONI
• implemented Skybox culling
• “steady cam” is now the default/preferred camera model
• the jumping gravity should look more like ONI’s now
• fixed camera rots for NPCs in jump anims
• fixed crash when selecting “End game”
• added ESC menu
• fixed bug when enabling inventory while there’s an impending intercom
• walljump is now possible a tiny bit longer against a wall
• added “land hard” anim for side wall jumps
• if killed while platform sound is on, it doesn’t stop when restarting from checkpoint <== should now be fixed
• optimized file loading (binary state machine files, music streaming, better file management, etc)
• some attacks from Elite Striker should have a fixed rotation => done
• running and jumping constantly should work better now
• added message from Shinatama when helipad platform goes down
• added two new combos
• there is now an option to disable “attack buffering”
• switched from PathEngine to Recast. The prototype and the game level should now have better navigation meshes. On the other hand pathfinding against dynamic obstacles may not work anymore.
