Thanks everyone for playing over nextfest & leaving all the awesome feedback, just pushed a new version of the demo with a ton of stuff
(I strongly advise starting a new game file, loading from a old file will likely cause bugs)
NEW STUFF :
*Boneheads have been overhauled, and now are more aggressive when you are in their area. when at a distance you can also shoot their knees to cause them to fall down & shoot their heads for chance at an insta kill. if you do the jump/slam attack it will stun them back depending on how near you are to them when you land (good for fighting a few at a time) you can also parry their attacks and then kick them, this is also good for taking on a few at a time cause Ransom's kick will send them all flying back in OG RE4 style :)
*bone heads now have voices/yell things at you (a lot more fun I think)
*RB is now a dodge/roll (good for quickly getting out of the way of large attacks)
*Sprint is now triggered by double tapping directionals
*I made new versions of the little crawling enemies, they are more like super Metroid zoomers now
* bullets now land where you are aiming rather then moving across the screen so you can be more accurate with shots
*re designed most of the buildings, and added a new puzzles to the Plasmadine office, some of the other puzzles have been moved into later parts of the game and will be made better :)
*A and B are now always confirm and cancel/back across all menus (or SHOULD be, let me know if I missed this anywhere)
*X is now the action/interact button
*Attack & shoot are now both RT, you will shoot if aiming and do melee attack if not aiming (similar to RE games)
*blocking is now just one button, LT
*if you stand at chain locks you can now use bolt cutters on them from the pause menu without needing to equip them
*new camera system added to almost all areas and more zoomed out in most locations
*lore stones now all look the same in all locations.
*added another little shack before bloody mouth + made the first shack larger more interesting
*in the town area you are now forced to go around some destroyed trucks/cars, this is to force players into the back alley, as some players missed that path. I also extended the back alley and made it more visually interesting as well as the areas past the tunnel
*you now can't take damage for 1/2 second after blocking an enemy attack. This was added to account for taking on 3-4 enemies at once
*moving items between crate and inventory is now switched to A to help it hopefully feel more intuitive
*you can no longer trigger the reload animation when you don't have bullets or if the gun is fully loaded
*base zoom level is now more zoomed out, and when large bosses are active the camera pulls back even more.
*added new SFX to blood raven enemies
*item crate made to stand out more from the environment and are in more places
*fixed laser sight to track with gun when jumping
*entering and exiting buildings and rooms is much faster now
*going between rooms now has door SFX
*bloody mouth battle fully done over, new attack patterns and much less jank now
*files and notes have been totally done over, shortened a lot of the text and you can now view the front and back of files to discover secrets.
*updated the map to be larger and look nicer
*new key pad puzzles are now scattered throughout the game, you can find the passwords on files you find. (each time you start a new game the codes are randomized so you will always need to locate the files to get the correct password)
still fine tuning some stuff, so the demo will go a bit further into the game once I have it all ready/ in the next update.
hope you'll try it out, and thanks all for the great feedback, most of the changes made were thanks to folks giving great suggestions. and as always please remember to wishlist and follow + tell everyone you know to do the same! lol
Thanks
More soon
