Hey gamers! It's me again, I'm back with another Project Malice update!! (well, almost)
I've created a new pre-release branch for the game so you can beta test the next update before it comes out! This next update is going to be pretty hefty, so I'm going to be doing this first instead of releasing it outright like previous ones. The game's getting close to being finished (fingers crossed) so hopefully this is good training for any post-full-release updates if I do any.
If you'd like to try out the pre-release, just head on over to Project Malice in your library, right click and head to Properties > Betas > Beta Participation and click on the pre-release branch
Here's a few things I'm looking out for:
- The new level generation system works properly
- The level editor works properly & players are able to share levels through the workshop
- The new enemy difficulty scaling doesn't make the game impossible to play
and of course, just looking out for general bugs/glitches/whatever that probably shouldn't be in the game
I uploaded an Example Level to the workshop if you'd like a sample of what you can make with the new level editor, it's pretty nifty
Please keep in mind that some stuff may change depending on player feedback, if you' find any bugs or have any feedback you can DM me on Discord (@aplove) and I'll try to respond asap
Thanks for playing! Update will be out on the public build if things go smoothly
