Hi all, since I released v0.3.1 I have been at work preparing for the next update. I have made enough progress to know roughly when the new update will be released.
The new update (v0.3.2), will be releasing this week on Friday, March 31st, 2023.
What will be added in the new update?
- A procedural recoil system configured for each weapon. Rifles with higher power have more recoil than the pistol for example. Aiming down sights also reduces recoil slightly for each weapon.
- An Aim down Sights (ADS) system for each weapon that allows you to be more accurate when shooting the hordes of zombies.
- A reworked 3D workbench for buying and managing weapons. Each weapon can viewed as there 3D model and in addition the UI has been improved to be more user-friendly and professional.
- Skins and improved zombie animations - a bunch of new animations for zombies and the addition of skins. On top of skins, a spawning system for diversifying zombies so that each zombie looks different by having different hair styles, clothing type and color of clothing.
- Improved SFX for zombies, zombies make noises when close to the player, when chasing and when dying.
- A icon displayed above ammo counter showing the weapon currently equipped by the player.
- The addition of music that plays during a wave and alongside that music plays when transitioning waves as well.
- Additional UI effects such as a flashing health bar when health is low and flashing wave number to notify the player of a wave starting/ending.
- Reworked and redesigned map to be larger but also fit the post-apocalyptic theme better.
- Reworked lighting to create a gloomier, dark atmosphere for fit with the post-apocalyptic vibe better.
Was there anything supposed to be in this update that has been moved to future update or been removed?
- I was planned on making the weapon workbench 3D models to be interactive, so that the player could inspect weapons. However, while it is working, it hasn't turned out the way I wanted it to so I have decided to postpone the release of the 3D model interaction to a future update when it is more polished.
Thank you for to everyone for supporting the game and I looking forward to everyone playing the new update and helping to advance the game! :)
