Update 9 (v1.9) has gone live on the Unreal Engine Marketplace. This is a v4.13 exclusive update & listed below are the main changes introduced in this update:
- This update introduces a new Mission Stats system that provides the player with the following information at the end of a level: Damage inflicted by the player/towers & Kills scored by player/towers.
The stats are collected through the ‘Game Stats Updater’ component which then sorts through the information & relays it over to the Game State. This information is later retrieved while displaying the mission summary screen as shown below:
- A basic Main Menu system has been added to the toolkit.
