Hello everyone! Today I'm releasing a chunky update that adds a bunch of new stuff.
Technical change: upgraded to Unity's Universal Render Pipeline
NAME CHANGE
As you can tell, I decided to change the game's name from 'Feisty Festivities' to 'Winfray'. The name 'Winfray' stems for 2 words, wintry and fray. I decided to change the name because I feel as if the name 'Feisty Festivities' only fits for the Christmas season, which may lead people away from checking out the game. I also feel as if the name doesn't feel very "exciting" if that makes sense.
NEW GAME MODES
2 new game modes called 'Hordes' and 'Minigames' have been added and are available to play. When you first launch up the game, you'll be greeted to a new menu where you can select between Snowball Fight, Minigames, and Hordes.
MINIGAMES
Choose from a list of minigames where you can earn coal. Currently, the only one available to play is 'Falling Crates' where you dodge falling crates for a long as possible. The longer you stay alive, the more the crate spawn rate increases. For every second you survive, you'll earn 1 coal, but I might change this. If you have any suggestions or ideas for games, please let me know in the discord server.
HORDES
Endlessly defend the giant chicken from being touched by hordes of enemies. Before starting, you're given options that you can change. These options include the time between each enemy spawning, the maximum amount of enemies allowed at once, and if you want the enemies to be more difficult.
Note: My goal with this game mode is to make it a full on game. I want to make it so you can complete quests, level up, and upgrade yourself while playing on different maps.
SNOWBALL FIGHT
