Weapon Handling Improvements, Lots of QoL

Dear Ghoul Hunters,

Thank you for your patience! I have been working on a huge list of improvements and upgraded the engine to Unity 2019.1. Please let me know if you notice any problem after this update, since I added a lot of changes. Thank you!

• Fixed a bug with unread tutorials not showing up if there's already a tutorial being displayed. You will now see an icon flashing if there are unread tutorials.

• Added a "Auto Aim Threshold" option in the game if you want more challenge with auto-aim modes.

• Added new mutant animations reacting to injuries

• Improved the blood spatter of shotguns

• Ravens and bullet holes will no longer be lit by your red laser

• Reduced jitter on the arrow when using melee weapon with controller

• The visual recoil (camera shake) is now dependent of weapon types. Shotguns should feel more "punchy" now

• When you are reloading, you can jump to cancel it.

• Sniper rifles will more likely to knock the enemy back

• Weapons now have different critical hit chance

• Fixed a bug where if you hit a mutant, he might still hit you back even though their attack was interrupted by your hit

• When you transfer items to containers and stashes, they will stack when the container is filled up

• The whirlwind anomaly will emit a few flying leaves every once in a while to help you see them

• Added a sound effect when you are hurt by the whirlwind anomaly

• You can now use A/D left/right or mouse wheel to flip pages in the journal, orders, and discovery page

• When using the motorcycle, it will now list you destinations one map away, so you can at most skip two maps at once.

• When you injure a standing human/mutant when he's not aware, he will stumble

• Revamped the animations for throwing grenades with the quick throw key (G) to make them faster, and fixed a bug with character being stuck when trying to quick throw while holding melee weapon

• Fixed a bug with crouch-thrown grenades flying out from the wrong spot

• When using the controller, you have to hold Combo key to adjust the aim height (which now plays a clicking sound) so that you don't accidentally fix the aim to the head and miss a lot of shots.

• When using controller to craft, you can now put the cursor around the temperature slider and use DPAD left/right to adjust temperature

• When opening the serum lab, if you don't have the recipe clipbook yet and just have some recipe papers in your backpack, it'll automatically open one of them and you can use the arrow to cycle through them

• You can now use DPAD to cycle through tutorials when you open the tutorials page

Update 1.83-1 Patch Notes

• Revamped the repair kits. Now it should have a minimum of 25 points of repair value. Also extended the repair amount to 100% instead of 25%, but only newly generated repair kits will have this value. Sorry about the inconvenience! I'm making this change because the repair kits don't really do well with items with low maximum durability, such as armor insertions.

• Also, when repairing with wood and metal, it'll also have a minimum of 5 points of repair value.

• Fixed a bug where the rock of rejuvenation disappears

• Fixed a bug where if the secondary sidearm is showing up and you want to repair it with the kit, it tries to repair the primary sidearm instead.

• Various environmental tweaks and improvements
• Extensive rework of particle systems, especially blood splat

Voyager Update is out now!

Astronaut,

Look at the foreign horizon. Stretching wide before you, inviting you to search through its every nook and cranny. Reddish sand gives way to the force of your feet walking briskly toward the unknown. You open the rover’s door, sit behind the wheel and start the engine. Somehow it feels as if a completely new perspective unfolds in front of your eyes. You can only imagine what mind boggling discoveries await you on Regis III…

The Invincible Voyager Update is here! We have enhanced the exploration of Regis III and improved a few elements of your astromission. Thank you, astronauts, for supporting us along this journey! We are awaiting your feedback regarding the improvements, so let us know what you think in the comments, Discussions or on our Discord.

The Invincible - Voyager Update 1.2 Trailer

What's new in the Voyager Update:

Dynamic Camera Views during Rover ride

Experience the thrill of exploring Regis III from a new perspective... Now, with our latest update, you can switch your camera from First-Person (FPP) to Third-Person (TPP) during your Rover ride. It’s time to dive into a world of scientific wonder and look at astounding landscapes from a new angle.

Enhanced Walk & Sprint Speed in some locations

We have tweaked the speed in which Yasna travels through Regis III, as it was an adjustment you highly requested. Further improvements are limited due to the expanded dialogue system and the pacing problems that would occur if Yasna were to move faster. However, we still wanted to enhance your gameplay experience in this matter, so we gave Yasna a little boost wherever it was possible.

New Story slides to discover

The scope of mysteries awaiting to be discovered by you has expanded with additional slides scattered across Regis III. Unearth these hidden treasures to delve deeper into the rich lore and mysteries of the planet. Each discovery brings you closer to unraveling the mind-boggling phenomena of Regis III…

*Experimental Feature: Wider FOV in Accessibility Settings

We have heard loud and clear your desire to have a wider FOV option. Our team has been working on finding a way to do that without breaking the game almost from the release date. During this process, we have widened the FOV from 70 to 80 and then 90. We found out that further FOV iterations may cause some technical problems, i.e.:

• HUD interaction icons start to move around, which may cause problems with the navigation and controls
• proportions of environmental elements and NPCs are changing unnaturally
• one can see holes in the spacesuit

However, given that the wider FOV is one of the most requested features of The Invincible and that we really want to enhance your immersion on this otherworldly mission, we decided to release an experimental feature of wider FOV (100, 110, 120) for those of you who want to try it out.

You will be able to use it freely and see whether this partial solution works for you. In the near future we will try to minimize a part of the visual and gameplay issues coming from wider FOVs.

The only important thing to keep in mind is that wider FOV settings may result in higher performance demand - it works similarly to choosing a higher quality of graphics. Apart from that, we hope that this new feature will be to your liking!

You can **access the experimental FOV by following two steps:

1. Toggle on experimental FOV option in the Accessibility Settings tab.
2. Go to the Graphics tab and change the FOV.**

Additionally:

• Added in-game input to directly launch comics, allowing you also to dive into your unique play story with the possibility to enlarge exact frames.
• Changed flashbacks fade in/out color.
• Added an option in accessibility to turn off automatic interactions.
• Updated decal appearance to indicate the possibility to climb.
• Bug fixes for some camera movement and slides inspect mode.
• Minor animation and audio adjustments.
• Performance and UI issue fixes.
• Minor localization adjustments.

Take care!
