Hey Bounty Hunters!
Update 2.0 brings a mix of game improvements and new game content for our current and new players.
Let's start with the new game content
2.0 Update
Bounty Adventure Mode
This mode is in the experimental section within the main menu level. You'll be able to go into roguelike layouts for a Bounty Adventures Mission. You'll encounter different level layouts, enemies and weapons each time you go in.
NPC's in Bounty Adventures have dialogue with you so make sure to talk with them. They will help guide you and fill you in on the map objective and some background about the place you're visiting. Hinting at a few things we'd like to expand upon one day.
You'll be able to select background music for the game mode from the music selector. You can also select none if you just want ambient noise. By default the music is off so you can choose which track you'll like. We've added a few from the game.
We've setup all of the core functionality in a way to allow expanding upon the game mode to be a straight forward process. If you end up enjoying this mode please let us know on the discussion page. Also let us know your ideas or what you'd like to see added as we expand the mode in future updates.
New Weapons
We've created three new melee weapons to have fun with. They can all be found in the Arena, and the Warhammer in Bounty Adventures
Sci-fi Warhammer
This weapon is niche. You can swing it and defeat enemies in a small amount of hits. However if you hold trigger to charge it and then smash an enemy you can kill them in one hit. It's heavy and designed to be held with two hands.
Long Sword
This sword is long and great for stabbing enemies at a distance!
Experimental Axe
We wanted to experiment with having the ability to make weapons where the impale point and direction is on another side. So with the axe you can smash it into enemies and stick it into them. We've added this weapon into the arena as an experiment. Let us know how it feels and if you run into any issues.
Character Updates
We've made a few improvements to the character. We focused on what we knew we would be able to improve/fix. This update is all about jumping.
Air Control and Jump Height Control
You can now control your jump height. Pressing the jump button will allow you to jump a little bit, but holding it down will allow you to jump higher.
You also have air control now once you jump. Move your thumbstick around and you'll be able to move while in air.
These two updates should make platforming sections of our game significantly easier/more enjoyable. We hope you find the character update to be an improvement to the player character.
Final Note
We hope you have a great holiday break and have fun playing LONN!
