Over the next several days Paint the Town Red will be 30% off so it's a great time to jump in if you've been waiting.

3D Text Props

Say goodbye to painstakingly arranging pool balls to make letters, because in this update we've added the ability to add 3D text props in the Level Editor so you can add custom text anywhere you need it.

Music Layers

Also for the Level Editor we've added some new options for music. Firstly you can now set a different music track to play when you've won a level. The bigger change though is that you can now set Music props to play music on up to 8 different layers. This will be great for levels with voices or sound effects as they'll now be able to play on a different layer and not interrupt the main music. We've also added some of the Beneath music tracks to the Level Editor and the old main menu music.

Beneath Class Scenario Modifiers

You can now play all the Scenario levels as one of the classes from Beneath with the new modifiers: Brawler, Spectre, Warlock, Vanguard and Corrupted.

Block+Swing

In this update we've made some tweaks to attacks to give you more control over when you swing a weapon downwards or uppercut. Instead of being based on looking up or jumping, or random in the case of the uppercut, you can now perform a downward swing or the uppercut by swinging while holding the block button.

Other Changes

Some of the other changes in this update include lighting and shadows from muzzle flares on guns, thrown weapons will now longer sometimes go through enemies, in the Biker Bar enemies can now jump down off the bar if they get stuck up there and some tweaks to the Beneath Facility to help new players know how to start their first run. Oh, and that one guy that would get stuck at the bottom of the basement stairs in the Biker Bar should now figure out how to make that first step. The full changelist is below.
