When I said that I was putting Caretaker Sacrifice onto early access so that I could engage with the community and get feedback to make the game better I really meant it. Over the last 3 days I’ve been acting on feedback and making changes to the game.
The first bit of feedback was that there needed to be some way to help with locating the suppressors in the level. I liked that they were hard to find but some of you were finding them too hard to find. So, to help with this I’ve now added a radar pulse that you can fire off which will light up both the portal and the suppressors to let you know where they are. When the pulse hits them they will light up as green and can be seen through walls for a short time. You can hit the pulse as many times as you like. To add a bit more variety, I’ve now made it that the suppressors start off in random locations (except for the first two times you encounter them) – so not even I will know where they are which makes it more fun for me when I’m testing too
To activate the radar pulse press ‘B’ on the joypad or hit the space bar. I’ve still got to come up with a sound for the pulse on my synth but for now it’s in the game and working so give it a go and let me know what you think.
The second biggest bit of feedback was about the controls. For those of you playing with the mouse and keyboard you wanted another way to do a roll rather than just hold down the right mouse button. I’ve added ‘Q’ and ‘E’ to roll as well as ‘R’ and ‘F’ to move up and down.
Right, it’s back to making levels for me. Thanks again for buying a copy of Caretaker Sacrifice and I hope these changes make it an even better game for you – let me know!
