Hi all,
We’re excited to release a new verision of the UMPB demo for the 2024 Steam Next Fest event!
The new demo has the following improvements / changes:
- Improved level 1 design, with new background and weather effects.
- Improved level 1 boss design to make it more consistent with the overall look and feel of the game.
- New basic attacks for ships / mechs that launches ‘drunken missiles’ as at Attack levels 4 and 5.
- New trailing smoke animation for special missiles and drunken missiles.
- New in-game player comms that will trigger when playing certain levels.
- Improved UI / UX interaction when using KBM.
- Improved UI colours when using either KBM or Controller.
- Extended level 2 with additional rooms, enemies and pickups.
- Removed the timer on health pickups in level 2 that made them disappear, giving the player more time to pick them up.
- Various bug fixes.
- Various other general improvements.
Importantly, this version of the demo contains the first 2 missions / levels of the game. All 8 missions will be available in the full release, coming Q1 2025.
We hope you enjoy the new version!
Take care, Tim and Carlos.
