This is already the 10th dev journal of “METAL SUITS”. METAL SUITS is confirmed to participate in GamesCom(B2B, B2C) and Tokyo Game Show (B2C) exhibitions this year, and will participate in exhibitions at BIC (Busan Indie Connect Festival).
Today I am going to talk about the new planet Tenal and how it’s improved over the original game.
--------------------------------------------------
1. Tenal
This is Tenal, the fourth planet of Metal Suits.
Tenal is a planet made entirely of machines. As a factory planet in the Hellios system, it is difficult to tell whether it is day or night as it produces various mechanical devices.
Your mission this time is to defeat the Golida tribes who have conquered the planet Tenal, where you can produce various mechanical devices. As it is a factory planet, there are various obstacles, so you should always play carefully.
2. Objects added to the planet Tenal
(1) Portal & Portal Circle
Users can move to other areas connected to the portal through the portal.
The portal is configured to be able to enter and exit, but in the case of the portal circle, it is configured to only be able to exit.
You never know where the portal will lead, so always be careful before entering it.
(2) Jump platform
Climbing on a jump platform will make you jump upwards. It works by the same mechanism as the ‘Spring mushroom’ from the planet Mushdora.
(3) Steampipe
It is a steampipe from which hot gas is ejected. A small burst of steam is released from the cracked pipe before it erupts, followed by a large burst of steam after a period of time. Contact with steam can cause death, so be careful.
(4) CCTV Gun
It is a device with a gun attached to CCTV to defend against trespassing enemies. It cannot be destroyed, so be aware of the CCTV and move around while avoiding bullets.
(5) Electric guard
An electrical guard that is activated by default and impassable, but becomes inactive when certain conditions are met (using a lever, etc.).
(6) Responsive door
It is a responsive door designed to open when a certain area is reached. It doesn’t open that fast.
3. Added Enemies to the Tenal Planet
(1) Golida Jet and the Shockwave Machine
The Golida Jet is a Golida-type unit that attacks from the air with a jet engine attached to its back, and the Shockwave Machine is a mechanical unit that attacks by firing shockwaves at ground units. Shockwaves will be fired in both directions, so be careful.
(2) Golida Scientist
Golida scientists are purely research scientists so they do not attack.
(3) Mad Golida scientist
The Mad Golida Scientist will attack by throwing a red or blue flask. Red flasks turn into pillars of fire, and blue flasks turn into paralyzing gas.
(4) Robot Dog
The robot dog sounds an alarm when it detects an enemy. When the alarm goes off, enemies will spawn from nearby Golida Warp Doors. Also, watch out for the robot dog as it will lunge near Kevin.
4. METAL SUITS advancement work
METAL SUITS is under development, but since the exhibition is ahead, the overall game is in the process of upgrading. Added lights and improved various effects.
(1) Improved light, fog area, chapter 1 background, and added rain effect
(2) Improved effect when using Gatling Suit special skill
Significant improvements have been made to the overall UI and effects when using Gatling Suit special skills.
--------------------------------------------------
In the next post, I will focus on explaining the changes ahead of the exhibition.
