Released
Asymmetric survival: one Maniac hunts the town while Survivors mine, build and hold out until the final dawn.
English localization, host game settings, fixes
A changelist for Panic Balance.
Added
4 changes-
Full English localization - UI, building and research descriptions, in-game messages, and the arena portal.
-
Chat notices now appear in each player's own language (RU or EN).
-
Host game settings when creating a match: Survivors to start, Max survivors, Maniac head start, Exit day, Day and Night length, Starting gold, Countdown, and Post-match pause.
-
Rich stone veins out in the open - a big payout per hit, but exposed to the Maniac (risk vs reward).
Improved
4 changes-
Download size cut from ~6 GB to ~0.6 GB (trimmed unused high-res textures and assets).
-
Survivors now start with 300 gold - enough for the first investment into the Safe.
-
Merged static scene geometry and other optimizations for smoother performance.
-
Large resource-gather numbers no longer get clipped in the HUD.
Fixed
1 change-
Upgrading a building no longer launches or kills a player standing right next to it.
Removed
2 changes-
Leftover sandbox mode and its spawn menu - the game now boots straight into a clean match.
-
Experimental cloud toggles removed from settings (quality presets and TAA remain).
