Hey HIO fam, we are back with a new dev blog!
We're going to talk about a lot of brand new stuff.
This dev blog will be a miscellaneous of features we introduced in the game during the last weeks.
In the last dev blog, we introduced Adam's apartment. We implemented a new feature to the HUB since then.
Do you remember the BIG MOUTH ON THE WALL?
Yes, this creepy big mouth is hungry, hungry of blood!
By feeding it with monsters and humans hearts, you unlock points that let you break walls and expand your apartment.
The more blood you give it, the more blood it craves for.
This new feature lets you build new rooms and furnish them.
Also, you can change the wallpaper of the rooms to fit your taste!
We also implemented the Phone. People will call you from the city. Thanks to this new communication system, you can listen to the voicemail and find out if anyone in the city needs your help or have quests for you!
It's useful, as well as pretty!
We also changed the spawn system of the monsters. Before this update, all the bots spawned together at the start of the game.
Now there are different spawning waves of monsters during the match.
Also, we improved the mobility of Adam. We added one of the most requested features during the playtest: The possibility to leap over a lot of various obstacles.
You can jump over cars, bushes, benches, and hedges.
In Hell is Others, you see other players as monstrous creatures. We needed a way to know who you killed. We decided to associate the player's nickname with his heart. So once you killed an Other, you can see his nickname displayed in the item "heart" tooltip.
Last but not least, thanks to our friends who made two new emojis for the Hell is Others' Discord server!
Arcames made this one. I suggest you check his Steam profile. He's a very talented artist!
And this one was made by Coffee.
Thanks, pal!
That's all for today,
thanks for reading this and see you on our Discord Server!
