3079 v2.7.9b on its way! Thread - 3079

I'm in the process of uploading v2.7.9b to Desura now -- thank you all for your support and suggestions! I'm working hard to get them into 3079!

If you can't wait for Desura's approval, and you want to hear the music and see the bullet trails, you can download the v2.7.9b Demo here now:

Mediafire.com

Changes:
* Music! Different music for questing, wandering and fighting with smooth transitions
* Projectile/bullet trails: smoke trails for rockets & grenades, energy trails for others
* Dedicated server run via command line with java: java -jar 3079.exe --server [name] [population count]
* Limb damage effects: high-damage shots in the legs slow target, arms cause bad accuracy
* Items now show their individual weights in inventory
* Fixed bugs that caused weight inconsistencies
* Fixed a bug that caused weight to not be updated when buying / taking something from storage
* Reduced overall resale value of items
* Removed "resale" penalty from gems, making them worth more
* New fist graphics
* Limited the rate at which you can get free items at the end of the game
* Characters now will have a maximum leg count of 4
* New HUD indicator to notify player of current effects
* Grenades are no longer perfect cubes
* Grappling hook doesn't shake you anymore when reaching the hook point
* Minor changes to performance and memory management

there's an end to the game?

Yup :-)

Music! Fist graphics! HUD! The alpha is getting better once again. What's next?

hey phr00t, will the game be able to make a hamachi server, instead of using your personal IP ?

Uhm, if you can write your own personal ip, i think it whould work to just write your Hamachi ip?

uhm is it updated yet? because my version dosent seem to update

Characters used to be able to have more than 4 legs?

When this version is coming to gamersgate? There is just 2.6 version.

It is updated now!

Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Loving the new music and projectile trails. Items weights are also definitely helpful for inventory sorting. This update also marks the first time I've seen a ground-based enemy climb its way to the top of a cactus in the desert and use it as a vantage point - no idea if that's an intentional new behavior or not, but it interesting to see regardless.

Just wait for v2.8.x -- I've made a few changes to the way enemies jump (also stopped them from jumping inside buildings) which should make them seem a bit "smarter" when getting over obstacles ;-)
