News Letter of Doom: Week 2: 2 Weeks, 2,000 Copies

The News:

Today I worked on adding another gun to the game (SMG) and worked on IJ^0. I have decided on the fact that there is not real reason to add a veichle to the game on the count that all it would do is add more stress to the game and another over-powered item thats just not needed. Though it will stay in the back of my mind to add don't count on it any time soon, sorry.

Jason's shop was added back in the same place but not for long as we will soon be adding some type of Market Town where player(s) will be able to go and trade for weapons, metals, and foods. Concept art is already being drawn up for this town as it will be an entire new area of the map, like the forest area, it will be for higher players that can handle a challenge. This area will be at the end of the road players can currently find near Paleta and IJ^0.

Equiptable armour is seeming to be quite a challenge.

Happy 2000:

After a Month & a half since release we have now reached 2,000 copies/units sold on Steam. This may seem like a very small amount but think about the fact that most of this was over the last 2 weeks. Hearing about this and then seeing this completley made my day and I just wanted to let you all know that this a large community of players and with everyones help we can make this game better than it ever can be!

Collisions in games, and 'if' statements:

I am slowly realizing objects colliding with other objects is what makes up 1/3-2/3rds of my game. Why is this? Its because games are generally a bunch of what if's. Lets say you press the 'F' key, what happens? Well IF you press the 'F' key then it does 'X', you understand then props. Lets say this, if my players bullet hits another object, well this needs to have a cause and effect or the bullet will simply pass through the other object because it does not register as an object because you did not tell the bullet to do anything. Now lets tell the bullet to do something, like IF the bullet COLLIDES with the other object -2 HP, or maybe the bullet gets destroyed. Hope somebody understands even though this kind of made no sense.

Stuff with Zrrr:

The new Programmer & Pixel Artist that was talked about in the previous 'News Letter of Doom' fell through and will not be joining the team so as always it will just be me and the musician. We are currently looking for submissions of amazing new ideas that could change the face of how you play the game. (Maybe if someone wanted to write a guide???)

Goodnight everyone, sleep well, and keep your firearm loaded incase of attack.You never know whats out in the Baron Desert. ːSBpandaːː2015hollyː
