New beta heads up news

Afternoon readers. Today is probably a good day for all the fans as this news update comes to you with me on the verge of releasing a new TK beta. The beta should be uploaded in a few days as theres just a few little tweaks left to do. Once thats done work will crack on with the all.spawn.

Changes / fixes

- NPC textures and faces edited. This gives a much nicer more realistic look to them.
- Edited mutant textures, again, just so they look more realistic and disturbing.
- Gameplay tweaks
- AI tweaks
- Tweaked "random traitors" aspect.
- Edited some more general textures just to make them look nicer.
- Edited ammunition. AP rounds actually have a great premium to their use now. Instead of it taking about half a mag to down a fairly heavily armoured foe, AP rounds will drop them in about 5.

Its recommended to start a new game with this new beta, although previous gamesaves will work.

To be finished

- Mutant all.spawn spawns (still..)
- Bullet ballistics to be slightly corrected (less "spray" from rifles and so on)

Recommended specs
