Developer posts and news about this game.
In the previous build there where a lot of things that were only half implemented. Like the mission voice lines. And this does not matter for the gameplay, but it does not feel great. So this is the last version of the playtest that I will be using to playtest before the demo goe
So Dx12 really wants to keep crashing. Unity is working on a bug fix that hopefully makes Dx12 more stable. Until then Dx11 is fine, it only takes more CPU resources. I've added cutscenes when entering a mission, failing a mission and accomplishing a mission. Currently it are mos
Dx12 - Up until now I was using Dx11, but I could not get rid of the "late start" even when the CPU should have had enough idle time. So switching to Dx12 (or Vulkan) was the only solution. There where a lot of crashes, so I am a little bit afraid this will not be a happy version
On the Valve Index the throwing was good while running at 120hz. But streaming on the PICO 4 72Hz gave really inconsistent throws. With this being the main gameplay mechanic its a little embarrassing ːsteamfacepalmː. The throwing should now be improved on all devices. To feel mor
So this is mainly a technical update. Updated to Unity 2022 LTS and latest packages. - Updated the lighting system. - Minimizing effect from unity's bad performance input system. During testing a lot of 'typical upgrade issues' were found and resolved. Do let me know when you run
- It is now possible to unlock a player controlled superwapon in the second mission. This is a wapon that has huge fire power and can be aimed by the player. It requires 2 hands to operate, one to hold the wapon and one to aim + shoot. - When you kneel down, look up and not touch
- Increased the gravity to make it feel less floaty. (Physics says : the bigger you are, the floatier everything looks... who knew :-) ) - Made it easier for the player to win the first 2 levels. - Re-added terrains around the level for a better visual horizon - decreased the siz
The wheelchair movement that was in the 'menu part' of the game, is now also implemented in the game itself. The gist of movement is the same, but the distance between your head and controller determine the speed. It needs a bit more love, but it is functional. Teleport movement
The game start has been completely remade. And this is the first step into improving this section. In the future all settings will be made available in this way. The RTS part of the game is still using all the old UI, but this will be changed in future releases. The release is fu
All Towers now explode when destroyed, blowing their shards in all directions. Everything has been scaled up, including the player. So there is visually not much difference :-). This will help with properly sizing buildings, explosions ect. And different sized levels will now als
Sometimes an update is needed to make sure the game can be the best at launch. This was one of those painful updates. There are some (minor) bugs that I will just ignore for now, but for the most part the game runs the same as the previous version. To note: - The entire game shou
- Change the turrets and cooldowns - Scale objectives with distance for better visibility Before recording the new trailer some of the left over old graphics where updated, so this build includes those.
- Build options are now spread out over multiple buildings - new buildings added (Miner Building, Combat Building) - Different Buildings unlock different build options. - Visual : Gun/AntiProjectile Turrets now have details, similar to the buildings
- Objective UI is now triggered by a 'Hand hover' interaction. - Objective UI is smaller - Objective UI will play audio during animation stages
- Resources are now displayed with more consistent design. - Buildings are placed with a rainbow-holo-beam, replacing the smoke flare.
Its not much, but it took more time than what would ideally be the case. There will be some more changes to this objective marker. The goal is to redo the trailer and screenshots... so all 'placeholder visuals' will be replaced by 'developer art' :-).
- Towers now have details, which are also used to display Hitpoints
- Crash during play fixed (related to the new basebuilding feature). - Made first 2 levels have brighter terrain. (from player feedback) - Changed Properties of towers to be more distinctive. - Increased mining speed + more affected by other towers in the stack. - Dropped the 4th
Base building has been upgraded. New buildings now need to be placed (free of charge) and are build over time, consuming resources over time. Resource locations now also regenerate resources over time. With a fixed maximum capacity per resource. This is just the first step. In th
- Terrain blending on rocks, resources and bonus objectives. - Towers power visible from emission color - Tower damage visible from emission color
