Achievements, monster sounds and a couple fixes
Achievements
Pinched has Steam achievements now. There are 30 of them. Some are easy, some you'll need your friends for, and a couple you'll probably get by accident.
Flashlight in the Flood
In Escape the Flood your flashlight never runs out now, so you never have to stop and crank it. The water is enough to worry about.
The monster can hear you talk in solo
If you play solo with a microphone, the monster can now hear you talk, the same way it does in multiplayer. Keep your voice down when it is close. The mic also starts on open mic now instead of push-to-talk, so your friends and the monster hear you without holding a key. If you want push-to-talk back, you can switch it in the settings.
New monster sounds
I redid almost every sound the monsters make. Each monster now has custom sounds that were put together for each ability, attack and idle noises.
Haptic and Visual Feedback
Controller players will now have more feedback during game events. Things like the monster being nearby, being scanned by the monster and getting injured will pulse through your controllers. There is also visual feedback for RBG users, your keyboards and mice will adjust to different events in the game. All of these features are controllable in the settings if you prefer to disable them.
Fixes
- A loading screen was added for map generation to get rid of that feeling that the game was stuck after starting the round.
- Hunter mode is only selectablewith 2 or more players. No more loading into a solo game with no threat, or running around with no prey to track.
Thanks for playing. Let me know what you think in the Discord.
