- 2 new weapons have been added! (Winchester and the Mini cannon!)



The mini cannon is a 2 shot burst shotgun that pacts an incredibly powerful punch! So powerful in fact it will launch the player backwards!
(Uses Shotgun Ammo)

The Winchester is a single shot, high precision, quiet marksman rifle. Perfect for mid-range kills with minimum sound. Uses High velocity rounds that travel significantly faster than your average rifle bullets.
(Uses High Velocity Ammo)

Ammo reloading now handled by individual bullets (instead of full magazines).

• Use main action to draw the bow back and then release to fire!
  
• Secondary action now only aims
  
• Arrow trail added

• Thrown shield projectile functionality has been significantly improved with a more reliable target detection and return to player functionality.
  
• Shield trail added
  
• Shield will now block and reflect sniper shots

• shotgun fire rate slightly reduced.

Sword With Sauce will continue development!

My goal here is to provide regular updates that will eventually bring the game to a proper finished state like I once promised.

I want to finish what I started but I don't want to change what was loved, so as I update it I will listen to feed-back to ensure that the changes only improve, polish and grow the game to eventually being the completed game that you all deserve!

**All future updates will be free

The game will be changing from free to it's original pricing of $3(USD)

Important note: Any customers who acquired the game for free in the past will keep it.

New Changes launching with the new 3.0 Update:

• Image Selector allows you to assign the thumbnail image to custom maps.
  
• Screen capture functionality added to forge mode that allows you to take screenshots in the forge editor.

• Loadouts can now have multiple of the same gadget! (certain gadgets only)
  
• Players HUD alert arrows updated to now point forward/back instead of all around the screen.
  
• Bow comes with 1 arrow by defualt
  
• "Quiver" gadget is now called "Arrows" and will provide 10 extra arrows
  
• Arrows should now be able to be recovered

This is NOT early access.

I didn't want to let you down again but releasing something that wasn't finished, so I've been working silently and am ready to fully showcase my FINISHED New Game!

Diatomic is a completed NEW GAME with a heavy focus on fast paced run-n-gun gameplay, varied enemy types, hazardous maps, epic boss fights and a whole bunch of chaotic action!

Fixed Steam workshop Update function, new grouping mechanics, flight controls for the editor and Protection for workshop content creators by tracking the original creator and preventing copy-cats.

----------Protecting Workshop Content---------

All Workshop Items uploaded/Updated before this updated are currently un-protected and can be copied. To fix this simply update your workshop item with in the game. This can be as easy as downloading your item from the workshop then creating a copy and then Updating the item.


Updated Steam Workshop Item Protection
Workshop items will now track the original content creators and prevent anyone from uploading copied items. That means in order to upload an item to the workshop it must have been created by you. If you have downloaded someone elses item through the workshop and then created a copy you will not be able to upload it no matter how much you have edited it.

Custom Level Grouping!
In the custom level editor the player will now be able to Shift select multiple Items and Ctrl Select to de-select them. While you have multiple items selected you can Group or un-group them using the buttons on screen or the a hotkey (Default= "G"), to un-group with the hotkey just hold down shift. While holding multiple items a new window will appear called the Oultiner which will show you all the items you have selected as well as all the groups they belong to. You can also select items from the Outliner.

New Editor Flight and menu Interaction
Along with the new multiple selecting and editing functionality comes an easier way to move the editor around while keeping items selected. Holding down the right mouse button will give the player control to move the editor WHILE keeping the menus open and items selected. To hide the editor menus simply press the right mouse button without holding it down.

Following the last big update of the level editor Sword With Sauce will be increasing in price. The price will be going from $3(USD) to $6(USD).

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for this new update, I know it has been awhile but I wanted to make sure everything worked and was as smooth as possible.

The new map editor option is now available! which means so is the tab in the workshop page. Create, edit and share your own custom maps which can be as large or as small as you like. The boundary sizes for the custom map is far larger than any of the maps already available.

Editor
In editor mode you can place and edit almost everything in your custom map. This includes position, rotation, scale, colour and certain advanced options for specific items. Decide what enemy spawns where, what type of doors you want and whether they are locked and if they start open or closed. Place various weapons around the map and even boundary boxes which can be set to allow for parkour for smoother wall running on more detailed surfaces.

Basic shapes
A variety of basic shapes are available which can all be scaled and coloured how ever you like for a huge variety of different level designs.

Enemies
Place where enemies spawn, which type of enemy it is and decide whether to have them stand still, wander around or follow a specific patrol pointed path.

Patrol points can be placed around the map and used for multiple enemies. Once an enemy has been allocated to it a small blue line will appear showing the path the enemy will follow. Once an enemy has reached the last patrol point it will walk back to its starting position and then repeat.

Survival game modes
Custom maps also support survival game modes. Place survival spawn points around and decide what types of enemies can/will spawn from each.

Then place re-stock pod locations and decide what angle to have them fly in from, just make sure there is nothing blocking their path.

- Death crab pick up bug fix
- Drone sometimes not recieveing look input bug fix
- Weapon grab assist cleaned up
