Hi all,
This patch features a new mode for you to all experiment with. Please note that this new mode will need EXTENSIVE testing, trial and error, before it’s fully suitable and completed. This is my first time making an enemy AI like this before which chases to close range, shoots and more, meaning that it may seem too strong or weak at times.
New Mode: Most Wanted
Playable in Arcade
Rewards: 30XP
The Space Enforcement Service (SES) patrols and protects all parts of space from planet damage to unusual activity. After witnessing you destroying thousands of asteroids when you were stranded, you have made yourself a high-risk suspect, which needs destroying. In this mode, cornered by agents of the SES, your primary objective is to survive 3 minutes until your nuclear bomb is ready and discharge it, clearing a path to escape. Take out waves of SWAT teams, siphon health from enemy ships, and do whatever it takes to survive.
Most Wanted's Wave System
Most Wanted adapts a new wave system which is utilised with the base spawning system used with the asteroids. While normal SES officers will spawn with the old system, other variants of enemies will spawn at dedicated times throughout the 3 minutes. Below are all the timings.
- 3x SES Patrol Officers spawn every 3 seconds
- 5x SES SWAT Officers spawn every 30 seconds
- 1x SES CQ Specialist spawns every 15 seconds
- 1x SES Brute spawns at the 2 minute mark
New Enemy: SES Patrol Officer
Patrol officers are the base enemy you'll spend the majority of time fighting against. They move slightly slower than the player, have a range of 9m, and deals 1 damage per 2 seconds. They are a one-bullet kill.
New Enemy: SES SWAT Officer
SWAT officers arrive every 30 seconds as a group and will be a pain against if you've let too many patrol officers swarm the area. They move a bit slower compared to the Patrol Officers, have a range of 11m, and deals 1 damage per 1 second. They are a one-bullet kill.
New Enemy: SES CQ Specialist
Close-quarters specialists deal devastating damage up close and are fast. They move slightly faster than the player, have a range of 2m, and deals 5 damage per second. They are a one-bullet kill.
New Enemy: SES Brute
The Brute is the toughest officer to go against. They move extremely slowly, however have a range of 10m, and deals 10 damage per second. They are a ten-bullet kill.
