Hello, this is ShiftyCode, and today I would like to talk a bit about the future updates for the game. Thanks to your feedback I was able to better understand some of the issues the game has. Which was great, because when you playtest your game for hundreds of hours, it can become quite difficult to even remember why your game is fun in the first place =D
So, I've decided to bundle all ideas that I have for one big update. Let me share some of the things the update going to include:
- Balance update. Some builds are still quite OP and need to be nerfed and playtested more thoroughly this time. Immobilize builds, Internal Damage, and certain heat builds, in particular, going to be targeted.
- Item reworks. New content without bloating the game any further! Items that don't quite have a place in the game gonna get reworked/buffed. For example (but not limited to), Javelin, Heat Sinks, and Broadsword are all going to be more viable and interesting options. Broadsword for example now going to be one of few items that still can Immobilize enemies.
- QOL. I've received several requests to rename and color units. You guys obviously care, so why not =)?
- Enemies reworks. Scorpions are no longer invulnerable to status effects! But they do cut 50% of status effect damage. Armored Spiders that lacked tankiness now also cut 25% of status effect damage. Even though you've never brought that up, I can almost feel the distaste for Nullifiers on enemies =D Enhancers can now also add upgrades with this function to random enemies.
- New enemies. Or at least one. T3 always felt that it could use some new enemies. I don't want to add more enemies for the sake of adding fore enemies, but I've come up with an interesting mechanic for it. If I could come up with more enemies - I will gladly add more =)
This is not a complete list, but it gives an idea of what to expect from the update. The ETA for the update is February 2021.
Thanks to everyone for your support! I'll try to keep rolling the updates as long as there is interest in the game. Speaking of which, if you guys could namedrop the game in the discussions or recommend it to your favorite streamers who might enjoy it - this could help to keep up the interest =)
