I am thrilled to share with you the latest changes and additions that I have introduced in the upcoming Beta 1.5 of Nuclear Drifter, set to be released on December 31, 2023. I am excited about what I have prepared and hope that these changes will enrich your gaming experiences.
Added:
- Chance of Hitting Information: Now, by clicking the Other Skills button in the Perks panel, you can see your chances of hitting the enemy.
- Perks Panel: I have added information about the level and the amount of XP needed for the next level.
- Good Trader Perk: This new perk allows selling items for 100% of their value.
- New Way to Complete the Game for Gordon's Ending: I simplified the path for the ending related to Gordon. Players will no longer need to achieve 75% reputation for Old Zealand. Instead, after clicking the appropriate dialogue option with Gordon, you will discover a new, intriguing path that leads to the ending. This adds new depth and diversity to the game's narrative paths.
- New NPCs: Marcus – a zombie hunter, Jasper – the creator of the Green ZEN drug, and Buzz – a dealer selling Green ZEN in the Tavern.
- Green ZEN Drug: This new item increases accuracy and the chance of critical hits and shots during combat.
- New Locations: I introduced the interior of the lumberjack's house in Woodhill and Jasper's hideout.
- Character Speed Slider in the Main Menu: I have added a slider for setting character speed in the options panel of the main menu.
Changes:
- Resolution Selection: I changed the way resolution is selected in the options panel.
- Fullscreen and Talking Head Options: Now regulated with ON/OFF knobs.
- Doctor Marlon's Dialogues: They have been changed to fit both endings of the game.
- Maps: I changed the appearance of the maps of Old Zealand and Farlands, as well as the labels on them.
- Snack Vending Machine: I updated its appearance in the subway.
- Ammunition Icons in the Gun Shop: Now, when you have a gun, the appropriate ammunition icons are displayed.
- Fixed:
- Player Marker in the Subway: I corrected its position on the map after entering the subway from Farlands.
Removed:
- Ammo TIP Button from the Trade Panel.
Your opinions and suggestions are extremely important to me, so do not hesitate to share them. Each change and addition have been introduced with the idea of making Nuclear Drifter an even more engaging and satisfying experience. I can't wait to see how you receive these new features!
Stay warm and see you in the world of Nuclear Drifter!
