Hey folks! Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween! Few small updates made to refine the game for official launch. One of the hardest things for me to test effectively is the client-side experience. This patch should help with that issue on the level change. Bug Fixes: -
Hey Folks! I have been combing through looking for more ways to increase the game's communication with players. To support that goal, the Portal now has more to say. Since the event log is now being used for more details, when the scoreboard is visible, the middle mouse wheel scr

Hey folks! This was a longer wait than normal because I was away to celebrate my wife's birthday. Thrilled to report she had a great one. The patches are starting to focus more on the details. This week we have more events passed into the log as well as some client-side stability

Hey folks! Last week we saw a lot of swarming behavior from the monsters, and it was grinding some gears. In service to preventing this, the AI now has its own objectives. The interactions the AI will perform are purely based on sight and sound. Early in the rounds, they won't mi

Hey folks! A friend of mine tried to join my game mid-run and since I hadn't planned on that situation, he wasn't able to connect and it made my map regenerate the layout. This week I torn apart the generation process and rebuilt it to be resilient and reliable. This also elimina
Hey folks! Last week we were able to get four players together and some new issues presented themselves. One major multiplayer consideration that came up was the lack of things to do after failing to survive. Instead of spectating the AI, I decide to let the dead herd them. Once
Bug Fixes: - Credit crawl is slower - Crystal pings aren't as prominent - Spectate mode now works consistently across host and clients, spectates monsters - AI should be less hypnotized by the crystals - AIs have a favorite crystal to find when it is hit - Power-up location has s
Hey folks! Thrilled to announce that the final piece of the puzzle has been added. Players are now able to gain power-ups. The requirements are that first you have to hit a crystal a sufficient distance. Then there is a location somewhere on the map that will trigger a power-up.
Hey folks! The holiday pushed my weekend a little longer than usual but here's the early week update. Traps have been cleaned up to trigger more consistently. Crystals are reacting to traps again and the scoreboard is properly tracking deaths. I also added a spectate ability once
Bug fix: - Client movement jitter is actually gone
Hi folks! In the latter part of the week, I was able to bring some much-needed clarity to events in the game. Two components play roles in this higher awareness: the activity feed and scoreboard. The feed primarily shares major events like players escaping and Twitch events. The
