Steam Marines v0.8.1a, 20 November 2019

Hello, everyone!

This version is the Steam Early Access version which will be going up in a few hours! As promised everyone who purchase on Itch will receive a Steam key and this should be available shortly.

Custom Portraits

This was a requested feature that is finally available - you can now import PNG images as marine portraits!

Windows directory: "\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Worthless Bums\Steam Marines 2\Portraits\"

Linux directory: "/home/<user>/.config/Worthless Bums/Steam Marines 2/Portraits/"

Notes on use:

• The images must be in PNG format.
• When in-game the image will not be cropped, instead it will be squished into a square if it is not already square.
• It's suggested that you use at least 128x128 resolution images.
• There is no internal hardcap on portrait size or the number of portraits.
• The in-game portrait selector will expand as required to accommodate the number of portraits to be imported.
• The way the portraits are internally hooked up is by index and file (alphabetical) order. If you have two files 1.png and 2.png then 1.png will be loaded into index 0, and 2.png into index 1. If you rename 1.png to 3.png, then a marine that had portrait index 0 will now load the file 2.png instead of 1.png. In other words, if you change the order of a portrait that is assigned to a marine, you will need to reassign it to the correct portrait.

Thanks for reading!
