Steam: Episode 5 v.24 BETA

Just CI5 on Steam for now. Main changes are the addition of Accessibility settings in Options → Gameplay, and the addition of “cheat” unlockables (infinite lives, infinite missiles, infinite weapon power).

:warning: Upgrade code is kinda complicated, so please ensure all your profile data / career data / high scores / mission config settings are as expected after the upgrade. Note that it is normal to no longer see :information_source: icons next to high scores attained with previous versions of the game.

You will not be able to import/export purchases from this version until the official release.

Any mid-mission progress as well as all Options menus will be lost.

Full Changelog here: Known bugs & new features

  1. Right-click CI5 in your Library (alternatively, click the :gear: icon on the game’s page) and select Properties.

  2. Select the Betas tab.

Well, the “no deaths” medal is disabled while “infinite lives” is on (similarly to how the “no overheat” metal is disabled while “no heat” is on).

The rest of the medals didn’t seem relevant.

Should more medals be disabled?

Maybe also disable no special weapon medal while infinite special weapon is on?

yes, entirely

also, this should rename to “Weapon power preserved”, infinite doesn’t make sense.

Cheats are finally coming back?.. let’s go!!!

does this include an warning before enabling these cheat unlockables like medals and your score after completing an run? if does not have it then add it if is necessary.

ah yes, fun part is when i was about to warp but the background stay still
was this intended tho?

Changed in v.24.2 :medal_sports: Idea

That seems a bit harsh considering this is just a local career and you’re not competing against other players.

Agreed, but I chose it for better consistency with the other similar unlockables.

The reduced score is stated. The blocked medals are not metioned, however I don’t want to be very specific in case which medals are blocked exactly changes in the future.

Yes, that’s just how it is. This is an accessibility setting, some visuals are expected to be sacrificed.

What about Add “No Satellite” Button Before play New Mission?

Unnecessary, I think. Satellites don’t exist on all episodes, and there are already medals to reward not using them.

Had an idea for an endless mode
can the bosses have the buff as if the mission was at 100%+ difficulty rate post-loop 1?
or
can the every wave have the buff as if the mission was at 100%+ difficulty rate post-loop 1?
