You can give yourself enough weapon parts to redo the upgrades

You can also use the console and forcibly change the difficulty but the changes won't take effect til the next map

F1 to open console, "debug" to enable devmode, "difficulty #" with # being 0-4

Not directly, but you can use Scene Select to start up a new session on your current map, and use a Custom Loadout to get your inventory back to where it should be

Dunno if I'll keep it but I was feeling froggy and added an "FPS Mode" for the map that displays it from your current perspective/FOV if you hold the button down. Kinda nice for orienting yourself on maps with lots of verticality!

Indeed haha - you can see the little Excavator outline

All of the Chapter One Automaps are done! Can you tell which map this is just from the Automap?

(I'm a little scared to dive into some of the Chapter Two automaps - those maps are LARGG)

So many pranks...

Jasozz @jasozzgames.bsky.social · 8d

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!

It's a bit of both - the vertex painting is used for "painting" explored and revealed areas, and then there's some stenciling to hide parts of the mesh that are above the player that would otherwise make the map really hard to use in vertically stacked areas!

Jasozz @jasozzgames.bsky.social · 8d

It's a little of both - I dump the navmesh out to a 3D mesh as a baseline, then clean that up, and use it as the map mesh, which is "filled in" via vertex painting as you explore it.

Pushing onward with the Automap! If you have Icons enabled, certain things (like reading notes) can give you map markers now as well!

There's also a "Map Only" setting for folks who want a less guided experience, or you can just disable the map altogether.
