New intro scene and a few gameplay and audio visual enhancements... Updating ENYO Arcade to version 1.56.
Here a list of changes:

Added a new scene when breaking out of the initial tank
Weapons are now no longer all available from every dispenser (This might have been long overdue to have a more "classical" weapon progression, let me know what you think abut this in the comments!)
Added 'Auto Zooming' each room now has it's own zoom setting (Can be deactivated in the options menu if you prefer to use a fixed zoom setting)
Added splatter sounds to enemy death fx
Done a few more rendering tweaks (nothing major)
Sorted package data
As always some other things that I've lost track of...
If you notice anything strange then let me know.
And I have a little *HAPPY* announcement to make soon!
Thanks for the thumbs up and comments to you all! Nice to see you all!

It's been allmost 5 years since the last update but here we go... Updating ENYO Arcade to version 1.55.
This was holding me back for a while since it was a lot of work that doesn't involve much added features. So don't expect any new content quite yet but this allows me to continue working on the game in the future. Also it should improve the performance. Also the file size for future updates should be reduced.
Here a list of changes:

Updated source code to GMS 2.3
Reformatted all levels to use new data structures
Reworked level loading
Reworked and optimized player code
Added grace time and coyote time to player jump (you can now jump a few frames late or early off ground)
Reworked internal functions for weapons and player data
Reworked background renders
Reworked renderer and shaders
Added LUT shader to change color lookup (mostly so I can check the color and readability but maybe I'll add some funky colors someday)
Fixed a few inconsistencies
Reworked internal handling of Steam Leaderbords (So I had to reset them, sorry)
Save system handling has changed too! So savegames are reset. (If you copy and rename the old "enyo_dataLossR151107" from your local AppData folder to the location of the new "ENYOSV001" file and rename it to that - it should work, but it will only update the leaderbords if you beat your old times so I would not recommend it) I'll look into the steamcloud file system next and hope to add that functionality.
Reworked the AI of the Zombies and they are a lot less agressive right now but that may change...
Reworked the in game menus (Pause, Level End, Weapon Swap etc...)
Reworked lots of internal structures
Removed V-Synch option (the game should default to the system settings)
lots of other things that I've lost track of...
I've tested it a few times but if you notice anything strange then let me know.
Overall I've done a bunch of thinking and lost a bit of sleep but I'm happy to see that there are still a few out there besides me that enjoy this digital toy. So I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for this game and I'm always open to feature requests and feedback!
So as always, shout outs are welcome and feel free to start discussions in the community hub!

ENYO Arcade Update Coming Soon!
Originally I started out developing this game in Flash Action Script. Then I moved to GameMaker after testing a whole load of engines and frameworks. The final version I released on steam was built with GameMaker Studio 1.4. Since the release of ENYO Arcade there have been quite

Temple of Rust: Back to PAID
It's been a few ruff months for me lately and I seriously had to rethink how I'm going to move forward... If I want to complete Temple of Rust and if it's going to be good, I will eventually have to make at least enough money with it to survive and recoup some of the investments

This won't be easy...
I really want to make this game. But it's been quite a ruff ride and I cannot afford the development alone any longer. So I need your help to make this happen! I'm preparing a Kickstarter campaign to find out if there are enough people out there that can and will support me on th

MISSION WOOD STOVE COMPLETE!
The northern hemisphere is now slowly warming up as the planets axis shifts once again. And we have finished installing our wood burner! Getting all the necessary parts in Spain was quite a hassle at first and we built a few things ourselves. Our first test was to go up into some

Low Sun = Low Energy
Currently standing at the south-tip of Europe near Gibraltar. We are approaching the lowest energy levels for the solar collectors and the damp air is crawling into the mattress at night. Heres a little update on my status: I work on Temple of Rust almost every day for 1-4 hours

DonationWare - food for thought
Still bad weather here and lots to do. But it is great to see that a lot more people can now find my games and play them. I still need to eat and make ends meet and for that reason I've added donation DLC packages to both games. The DLC has no content and does not affect the game

FREE ENYO
I've been wanting to do this for ages... I started to make this game as a fun project, so to break down a barrier that has been bothering me: I would like to give it away FREE of any charges or ingame purchses! I will still be working on updates (maybe not fast but steady) and I

Hey! This game is still growing and I could use some help testing the next update!
Right-click on ENYO in your steam library - preferences - betas tab - enter code: enyov2betapass - then select the v2testing branch (maybe a steam client restart is required for it to show up).
I'd be happy to read some feedback here in the DISCUSSIONS.
Be aware that this version is a full remake of the game and isn't finished yet. So unexpected errors might occur and the content will change.
Changes for v2.0:

optimized level creation code
reworked and simplified input (simple 8 direction aim)
started to work on workshop editor tools (lots of work atm.)
rebuilt ALL levels from scratch
Reworked weapons and kick
Let me know what you would like to see in the new version!

A quick look at the update that I'm working on. I've been redesigning a lot and also adjusting the behaviour of the enemies and hazzards to give the game a bit more bite. Here is an example of the Hover Mines: IN NEXT VERSION (WIP): COMPARED TO CURRENT VERSION (v1.5): The idea be

Update 161128 - v1.5a TinyTweak
This is just a tiny tweak for notebooks. It should help ensure constant framerates on machines with CPU power saving. Aside from that I made V-Synch default to ON again. Since the game runs pretty fast anyway, this should just increase the visual quality by default for new player
This is just a tiny tweak for notebooks. It should help ensure constant framerates on machines with CPU power saving.
Aside from that I made V-Synch default to ON again. Since the game runs pretty fast anyway, this should just increase the visual quality by default for new players. If you have already changed the setting in the options once, then it saves your preference.
Here is the list of changes and additions:

Set 'sleep margin' to 4ms
V-Synch defaults to ON (you can set it in the options menu!)
Let me know if you run into any issues or have suggestions! Just start a discussion in the ENYO Arcade hub!
And please remember to review the game if you haven't already! It helps. Thanks!
