Sprint Update 1.15
Last week we've added the sprint feature, (press left shift), and Sprint Shots, which are essentially health potions but for sprint instead of health.
Developer Log - Insectoid Descent Date: July 1, 2024 This Week In Dev
Spawn Locations: adjusted player spawn locations throughout the 6 levels. Player spawns are on the opposite ends of the exit hatch, which they must enter to proceed to the next level.
Mini Gun Locations: Relocated the minigun locations in a few levels to make it harder to find. This is meant to reward exploration, and to receive a beneficial power-up even when you went down the wrong ventilation shaft.
Texture Overlapping: Resolved several issues where environmental textures were overlapping incorrectly, and various objects were oddly out of place.
Cutscene Collaboration: Working with Clayton, our storyboard and character artist. He is creating the first drafts for the introductory cut scene. We’re aiming for a comic book style animated sequence, and Clayton is taking inspiration from Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker comic style cutscenes.
Quit to Menu Button: I am creating an in-game live action menu with a “Quit” button, which will close the game, and a “Return to Main Menu” button. This is in contrast to the Pause menu, where the entire game is stopped. The live action menu will not pause the game.
Plans for The Game With 6 maps currently, we intend on having 12 full maps to play during the Scream Fest 2024. There will be more maps created afterwards, with a goal of 24 maps by the end of the year.
