Under a Desert Sun a0.99

Hi there,

As most of you know I am working on finishing the alpha state of the game. Meaning pretty soon we'll be going into beta which will focus more on making the single-player story.

In this update I've added some finishing touches on:

The dog!

The dog is now with you most of the time. It will attack and distract enemies.
I plan on making it do more and add to it's behaviours as the single-player needs. Ideas are welcome in the discord!

I've made a small trailer for this that you can see on the main page!

Melee
As you know I have added several melee features over time. The following have been added:
Melee weapons

Being able to throw the pointy things!

Being able to bash enemies with guns and shields, which makes them stagger!

Graphics
I've noticed the game is getting a but heavier now I add more things to the game. I thought it wise to start adding options for graphics so people can tweak the game. I've added the following post processing options which you can toggle:

  • Anti Aliasing
  • Bloom
  • Ambient occlusion

I plan on adding some more options, each option takes quite a bit of testing so this will happen over time.

Fixes:

  • I've made sure that some hand animation bugs no longer occur
  • I've made sure the flight level works again, controls were bugged after an update
  • Lots of small improvements

Be safe everyone and kind regards,
