Action 69 Update - 13.1 - New Map Districts Update

Hi all,

I just released a content update, I hope you all enjoy.

This update adds three new playable districts into Ninkyo Dantai; Downtown, Red Light District and 'Northtown', as well as a mall that the player can visit.

In Super Bandonio Bros, the dark levels were really hard to see, so I added several plants that glow in the midst of darkness. This should help navigating around these darker levels.

Super Bandonio Bros

Additions

• Added 7 new flowers into the game. Some... glow in the dark! They can be found in dark levels.
• Added the full commands list into the debug console (accessed using F1).
• Added sound control to the Options Menu; Master Volume, Sound Effects and Music.
• After completing a level (by collecting maximum coins in a level), will now show a crown by that level in Level Select.

Fixes

• Fixed a possible crash on Level 3 due to a missing checkpoint.
• Fixed a possible lighting glitch on Level 4.
• Fixed a bug with HUD being off alignment when dying.
• Fixed a bug with the /auto command.
• Fixed several bugs with the Options Menu.

Ninkyo Dantai: Buruwasu Murder Mystery

Additions

• Modern Mall. Its the first visitable location within the game.
• Added a few new areas into the game. Downtown, Red Light District and 'Northtown'.

Changes

• I've streamlined the way the mini-map works within the game.

Memory Optimisations

• Traffic cones base texture removed from memory when far from the nearest traffic cone.

Fixes

Conclusion

As we continue our roadmap into the future; here are some more details on the next few updates:

Update 13.2 will be the next update; will add new enemy types to Super Bandonio Bros.

"The Next Big Three" (2021/2022 Updates)

▶ In Action 69 - Update 14.0 - will be a behemoth of an Update, which will add in Levels 6 through to 10 thus, completing the first world for Super Bandonio Bros. This will most likely be an incremental release. (14.1 > 14.9)

▶ In Action 69 - Update 15.0 - We will focus on fixing bugs and adding the first five chapters in Wally's Wacky Adventures and adding new building types to Buruwasu Murder Mystery. As well as improved AI and Pupup Quotes.  We will be adding in rebindable control schemes to Super Bandonio Bros, gamepad support.

▶ In Action 69 - Update 16.0 - Will debut a new game called Mass Warfare, as long as its ready by then. If not, we'll be working on the Buruwasu Storyline. As well as the Eateries and Minigames Update.
