Steam Marines v0.8.0a, 9 October 2019

Hello, everyone.

This version brings all icons for marine class talents into the game. Huzzah! Super sneak peak into the project directory:

This is 40 icons in total but the talented David G. Baumgart. That is a lot of ways to build your marine squads!

Additionally all talents with text descriptions have been included in the tactical field unit tooltips:

Now that we have proper UI for these types of abilities on units, I'm looking into adding enemy specific abilities for varied gameplay and challenges.

The shoulder chasing camera has been change to avoid clipping through environment geometry and provide a more useful, broader field of view of the selected marine's nearby area. The action camera toggle option in the gameplay menu remains unchanged.

And a small reminder! Steam Marines 2 will be launching on Steam Early Access soon, and if you wishlist it there that helps me out a bunch and I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for reading!
