  The first post-EArelease update!A quick disclaimer for people who haven't seen one of my dev update videos before:These are released on the first Monday of every month and are meant to show what I have been working on. I want patches to have enough content in them so that they feel meaningful but I don't want you to have to go through months of silence wondering if development on the game has stopped. So I make these monthly dev logs to show the changes / progress made and explain them. Because I am the only person working on MALEDICTOR I am prioritizing working on the game over putting higher production value into these videos. They aren't edited down so they can be a bit long sometimes and I don't write a script so I can ramble a bit.These are all changes made from 6 July - 3 Aug, so some of these changes are already in the game while others are going to appear in future patches.Added more achievementsFixed weapon select bugImproved menu navigationImproved weapon selectAdded scrolling spritesGame released in Early AccessRemoved another emitterCorrected RU LocalizationAdded clarity to multi-switchesFixed E1M6 attic window being breakableMoved E1M5 enemy spawn trigger to make more senseDestructibles will no longer bleedResized menu elementE1M5 now has secretsRestarting too fast no longer makes you stay deadFixed a bug preventing achievements from workingAdded deadzones to help controllers with stick driftIncreased maximum volume levelsProgress on E2M1Added icon to Twitch.TVSmall additions to E1M1More spritesMade burning and bleeding effects more noticeableFixed bowling game bugFixed TV collision bugFixed adrenaline bug with new weaponsFixed door collision bugAdded new collision channelFixed audio duckingFixed radio occlusionRestructured weapon firing codeIncreased blood impact size on E1 bossMore modelsMore materialsFixed TV audio bug

  EA 0.10.1 Hotfix 3

  And now for the hotfix I promised for audio ducking!....it's this one ːlunar2019deadpanpigːFixesAudio ducking now works in the packaged build- radio shows and arcade game music should be much easier to hear nowRadio audio occlusion caused a bug that made it much quieter than it should have been. It has been removed which also helps with hearing the radio showsAdded a new collision channel specifically for interaction collision boxes to prevent issues like the E1M1 gate from blocking molotovs while it was open

  EA 0.10.1 Patch 1

  Okay now the game has its first actual patch.I wanted to wait a little bit longer so I could release a patch with more to it but there was a bug that was too important to fix. So instead of a patch it's more like a bug fix with some minor additions.GameplaySlight adjustments to the house in E1M1GraphicsAdded extra decoration spritesMade bleeding and burning DOT (damage over time) effects more noticeableAudioIncreased maximum volume levels from 200% to 300%Increased player character voice volume by 15%Increased radio volume by 20%Bug FixesThe Providence Key indicator in E1M1 is no longer hidden inside the shack wallFixed the bowling minigame breaking on the 10th frameAdded a failsafe to the bowling minigame (if it for some reason won't cycle the pins, just wait)Fixed a collision issue with TVsUsing adrenaline with the Peccary, Judgement, and Umpire no longer breaks your weaponsKnown BugsAudio ducking during arcade games and radio shows doesn't work in the packaged gameI'll be working on fixing the audio ducking issue pretty much immediately so expect a hotfix for that to be coming very soon. It should fix an issue that some people were having with hearing the radio shows. I'd have included it here but I felt that fixing the adrenaline issue with the secondary pistol, shotgun, and SMG should be done immediately.

  EA 0.10.1 Hotfix #2

  Now for the hotfix of the hotfix. Technically the hotfix of the hotfix of the hotfix...Achievements were unlocking a little too well before to the point that the kill milestone achievements were actually unlocking without actually getting the amount of kills needed.That should be fixed now.And now for the hotfix of the hotfix of the hotfix of the hotfix...Stick drift was very obvious and could make certain controllers unusable. Deadzones have now been added that should allow controllers with certain amounts of drift to function correctly. I still recommend hall effect sticks, though!
