Pilot v0.3.0: fixes from playtesting it ourselves

  • Playtested with bots over thousands of nights and through the real buttons, the pilot's night had real problems, now fixed:
  • A zeke breaking through your window used to hurt you instantly. Now it takes a moment to climb in, and whoever is nearby shoots it, so guarding a window isn't a trap.
  • Shooting across the yard in the dark now mostly misses, while point-blank shots almost always hit. Firing at will costs real ammo and noise, which makes the fire-discipline choice matter.
  • Noise no longer brings a wall of zekes at once: the extras arrive over about 15 seconds, and the game says so ("The noise carries: 4 more zekes are coming.").
  • The last minute of the night is no longer empty: zekes keep coming until near dawn.
  • The dawn screen says how long before dawn the house fell, matching the countdown.
