- Ability Overhaul + Pyro DLC Class - 29 May 2023
Hello Loopers! This patch we are bringing a total overhaul on how abilities work, the menu UI, and ability mechanics as we introduce our first DLC class - The Pyro! The Pyro is our first DLC character and is now available for purchase! Check it out here! Abilities One of our goals is to release Rift Loopers on console, so we want the gameplay to feel natural on a gamepad, previously, having 4 active abilities made it awkward for current button layouts to easily aim and move while pressing abilities. So we are bringing down the number of active abilities you can learn to a max of 2 and increasing the max passive abilities to 6. We have also reverted the change to have right thumbstick control weapon fire, but, we have added an option in gameplay settings to reenable this if you want this back on! Items Items are a new feature that gives players a starting support ability, these items can…
- Giga QOL Patch - 7 May 2023
Hello Loopers! It has been an exciting couple weeks since our 1.0 release - we appreciate all the support and feedback you all have given and as such, we are pushing out some major changes and improvements to the game. Biggest change is to improving support for gamepads - the right thumbstick will now shoot your weapons as well as face your character - this allows you to take advantage of both triggers and bumpers for abilities - which should greatly improve comfortability in using lined abilities. Let us know how this feels. Another change is REMOVING the passive requirements to unlock the Ability Modifications special upgrade - after thinking about it, I was just linking them to random passives and it didn't really make sense to force players to have to take those passives - so ability unlocks will now be available when you max out the ability level (level 6). Granting ability mods ma…
