WASTED Build 912 Changelog

By Austin Phoenix,
Hey, nifty America, it's me, your president Dic-- Haha, gotcha! Mr. Podunkian here, how's everyone doin'?

Just wanted to let you guys know that a new build of the game was posted just a minutes or so ago.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued support, and for all of you awesome streamers out there streaming the game and sharing your experiences (and grisly deaths) with the world. I've seen triumph. I've seen tragedy. I've seen many a viscera splattered by many a Gatling gun, and many a grown man squeal in terror as the S.O.B. slowly closes in on their position.

It's. Amazing.

This patch integrates a whole lot of things you guys have suggested and fixes for the bugs that you guys have been flagging me down on in the boards. Mostly importantly, the bug addresses some of the frustration that you've expressed about the S.O.B. Purifier -- I'm taking baby steps with the balancing here, since I know some of you out there are really, really, really passionate about how it works. The change I've made, in my opinion, maintain the same thrill and challenge I love about the guy, and just makes it a whole lot less frustrating to accidentally get RNG-wasted by it. I'm excited to see what you guys have to say about it!

Anyways, much love for all the supporters and fans out there. The game's been getting a lot of good traction out there (Shoutouts to my peeps at Kotaku and to Total Biscuit!), and it's been intensely humbling and gratifying to see your reactions!

Well, my throat's gettin' a little dry. Better go fix that. 'Til next time, happy wasting, Wasters!

Changelog for build 912:

•Added a toggle to disallow the Camera Toggle button on Gamepad. Some people were saying they were getting so caught up in the combat that they'd accidentally slam the right stick down, making for an unintended out-of-body-camera experience that would unfortunately lead to an unfortunate out-of-body-parts experience. Thanks Conrad Zimmerman for the suggestion!

•Fixed an issue with the leaderboards where the Next button would be cut off by the list, not allowing you see how deep the Courier Run rabbit hole really goes beyond the second page.

•Altered the description of the Fragalong item, which used to imply you could use it to befriend any enemy, but was really only good for friending mutants.

•Reduced the knockback on the S.O.B.'s minigun while still maintaining the same damage output which should prevent players from getting stunlocked by a stray minigun bullet, making it less likely to be caught with your pants down, literally unable to do anything.

•Similarly, reduced the knockback on the Klash weapon, which is used by the Spewman, the unjolly green giants that dwell in the lower levels of Cooler 1.

•Fixed an issue with the Weird Science Chemistry Set where you couldn't actually select what you wanted to concoct. Thanks Auburok!

•Fixed an intensely specific bug where a gun trap could explode a cryo-barrel while simultaneously Sub-Zero fatality-ing an enemy, causing a never ending ice explosion vortex that, once entered, could detach your arms from your head and make you freeze so hard that you can't move. Yes, this was thing that could happen. Thanks for reporting TIDUS!

•Added the ability to use the Drop Item key while looting another container, because someone decided to stash a bunch of fanny packs that they were wearing in a Courier Box and got stuck doing that. Moral of the story: nobody puts Fanny Pack in the corner. Thanks/sorry Legendary Neurotoxin!

•Fixed an issue where looking at a Rotoroid while using a controller with Auto Aim enabled would cause the game to hiccup, and for some reason possibly turn you invincible. Thanks DaReaper95.

•Fixed one of the WASTED achievements not triggering properly (the one for getting a Hangover for the first time)
