THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE!
Hello Gun$mithers! Rich here, today we are launching our largest update to date on Gun$mith! We have completely overhauled the way the game works. Instead of just buying a factory you have options! You can either buy a pre-made factory as you do right now or, you can build your own one from scratch!
We have made an entire 3D construction system for walls, floors, windows and doors ( they dont open and close yet we left that for later ) and lights! So now you can design the factory just the way you want!
After you have designed it you can define areas of work i.e where people are going to work, right now it's either factory or office etc but we will work on this in the future.
So why is this as the next update? Well we sat around for some time discussing the next move and this system is required for all the next updates we wish to do. And i'll tell you why right now.
So we want to implement stuff like security, actual money like you see in the trailer that you must store in a safe location, gold bars, drugs, guns, people, who knows but all that good stuff.
Without the player being able to actually build locations there would be no way to do this unless we gave you all a premade system which also kinda sucked.
We also want you guys to be able to play as a character, have an office and get up to all sorts of bad things and that of course requires hard lads to accompany you and do your bidding so ultimately the pre made factory was running out of options.
So what did we do? We nuked the first level and started again, our new 3D artist ( Introducing Conal Wright ) made an entire map instead of a factory and now you can see the world in all its glory.
Then Ed Spent a TONNE of time programming the system that meant we could do all of this. A big shout out to Ed for again having me throw massive features at him late in the day and doing them like a boss.
We think this changes everything now and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out for you guys!
We have also added real time lighting to the game so you can place lights and light up the factory how you want. Fixed loads of bugs etc.
But PLEASE be aware that this update is absolutely huge. Don’t expect previous saves to work and please be patient if we find bugs / optimise performance!
We added loads of different styles of floors and walls for you to customise the look of everything, so we are hyped to see how you all design your factory!
I believe its over 100 new items in the game for you all to mess around with.
We are absolutely spent as this was our longest crunch ever lasting for weeks of hard work then at least a 5 day super crunch of 16 hours + working per day.
We hope you enjoy it and please tell a friend about our game or maybe buy them a copy as we are a tiny company that needs the support!
We’re gonna have a break now but we hope you enjoy this one ( we think you will ) and we will see you soon with some new updates, bug fixes and performance improvements!
Take Care
