GUNHEAD 1.4 - Repair Station, Ammo Refilling, French
Hey everyone! Update 1.4 is here with some large additions: 'Mech Repair Station' now on player's ship. This will let you repair your mech during missions ($10k per repair, with a limit of 5 repairs per mission) Can now refill ammo at the License Station. Costs half of the license cost, multiplied by the ammo being refilled. Empty weapons/items no longer are removed from inventory. Added French language - thanks to roman_tv20 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31219639/67e8f4687658ab561f4a3b7fbad8eb7124c346d8.gif Fixes: Added 'Crosshair Size' option Fixed issues with not being able to fit in space doors in some generated ships More fixes for Python fight - fixing invisibility issue and disappearing Fixed issue with Wreck music track not looping Fixed issue with language changing while playing Fixed a variety of terms that were not translating Thanks! - LeeRead full article on Community Announcements (Vermeulen)Patch NotesOfficial
Gunhead 1.35 - Fixes
Hi again, Fixes for 1.35: - Fixed tractor beam when used on Sawblade - Fixed issue if ingame menu was used after finishing level, and controls tried to rebind - Fixed teleporting away Python issue - Added 120 target FPS option So some things we're considering for next update: - A way to repair health while on the ship. Would be a station in the hanger to pay $ for health repair. - A option to refill ammo of a weapon at license station. Would cost $, but not as much as buying weapon. Empty weapons would stay in inventory. thanks, - LeeRead full article on Community Announcements (Vermeulen)Patch NotesOfficial
