Boom Island Patch Notes — December 26, 2017
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
The Major Boom Island update is here earlier than expected, and it has a ton of new content. If you haven't played boom island in a while, we recommend that you revisit this game, because it has been basically redone.
Major updates:
Lets start off with mode changes,
Survival mode is completely redone. Instead of choosing your weapon before you spawn, you find weapon, health, and ammo drops across the island.
Sadly, Pilot was removed. The reason for this, was because it broke the stranded and survival aspect of the game. It was also super buggy and we would rather put our work into a more vital aspect of the game. You can still play pilot mode if you have a previous version, and it may be coming a way down the road. We hope that you can understand this decision.
Blueprint mode was completely revamped (or replaced) into a new mode called economy.
Economy mode is a concept that many survival shooters have, and we brought this into Boom island. Start with 0$ and kill balls to get money which you can buy in the shop.
Protection mode was brought back to the way it originally was, on the ground.
Thats all for mode changes, now time for gameplay improvements:
The graphics and color scheme is completely different, giving it a more vintage look.
All animations were redone.
You can pick up guns/ammo/health depending on the mode.
Revamped UI.
You cant go in water anymore
Instead of having to reset the game on dealth, it prompts you with a interface to retry that mode.
Some weapon sounds were changed.
Almost a completely new soundtrack.
New menu scheme with the same interface, just the buttons and menus were arranged better.
The tutorial was removed, however in the "more" section of the menu, you can select a tutorial guide, along with many other things that will prompt you to guides on our website.
You can remap controls, in the control settings, allowing you to add controller support as well, making Boom island officially have, "partial controller support".
There are many more updates that we may have forgot, however there are the big ones that we would like to share. Thank you all for all the support and be sure to leave any suggestions in the discussions section.
Cheers! -Csgood
