| 🧠 Dev Update – V1.2.5 🧟♂️ | 2026-02-11 | Performance improvement |
| 🧠 Dev Update – V1.2.3 🧟♂️ | 2026-02-09 | I discovered a rare bug that could lock the maximum number of zombies to 6 (it appeared after about one hour of gameplay). I wasn’t able to reproduce it a second time, so I reinforced the code to prevent it from happening again. Please let me know if it happens to you. S-12: it could instantly dismember normal zombies, which could be frustrating in some situations (a stray pellet hitting a distant leg → a crawling “surprise” zombie hidden among the bodies). The S-12 dismemberment logic is now aligned with the other weapons, so this should happen much less often. Turret: it now loses its target if the zombie leaves its detection range. |
