Hello Everyone! Two weeks passed and i am back with another update! Main focus of "Plasma Storm" update is item variety and especialy new weapons. Some other changes and fixes were applied as well and the project is now ready for works on 0.6 update but more about that latter.
0.55 additions and changes
- fixed armor/deflect bug
- nerfed deflect ammount on items
- squad name position when purchasing supplies fixed
- squad name generator recognizes new weapons
- added flak cannon
- added plasma gunner
- added plasma accelerator
- added gunzerker + enraged variant
- added Boris
- added 3 new bumpers
- Black market Item availability now scales with its upgrade level
- Patrol missions item reward now scales with mission difficulty (example - easier patrols wont give hi-tech stuff while on harder difficulties there is bigger chance for advanced weaponary like plasma gunners)
There are two new weapon types. Flak weapons do explosive dmage on critical hits and kinetic damage on normal hits. This means the more crit chance your squad have, the less dependant it is on weak explosive weapons like spearthrowers to get rid of enemy shields.
Plasma weapons work simillar to flak weapons, the critical hits do double damage to enemy fury(not as strong as explosive bonus) and normal hits do regular heat damage which always ignore enemy armor values, making plasma weapons ideal alternative to light flamers or incinerators.
Next update
Next update will wrap everything up and bring game to version 0.6. There wont be many additions but instead it ll focus on "polishing" of the game as a whole. I want to focus on improving and enriching environments(both outdoors and base), UI improvements, add some weapon animations as only fully animated weapon is still 50cal machinegun, add few more squad names and finaly, improve ghoul hunt missions as they are quite poor in their current state.
The update should be ready within two weeks as always.
Thanks for your support & with regards
