Many of you know this already, but I lost the code for the original Rogue Party and many of my other games (including Blocked and Loaded). I was devastated and took a break from making games.
But that didn't last long, and I ended up using Unity this time around to make a much better sequel, Rogue Party 2, coming out on June 15th.
Thank you for buying my games and supporting an independent developer! I am trying to get more involved in the community and have streamed the creation of Rogue Party 2, from line 1 to line 25,000 all live on twitch.
While working on Blocked and Loaded 2, I created a far better way to calculate shadows that is faster and more subtle than the previous rendering method.
Let me know what you think of the new shadow system and whether your game's performance improves.
Thank you to everyone,
Chris
Fixed Lag in Forest Path
The soccer area should no longer lag. After applying the shadow patch I neglected to limit shadowing to only the models visible on the screen which resulted in the now resolved lag.
Working on the Colony Expansion next.
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Blocked and Loaded now features a day/night light cycle as well as shadowing while underneath walls.
Let me know what you think!
Gadget Workbench Added!

You can now upgrade your gadgets with this Gadget Workbench.
You may also notice a new entrance in the secret passage... work on the expansion is well under way and you'll get to access it as I create it!
This expansion will be free for current players but once it has launched the price of the overall game will increase to $1.99
Keep the ideas coming!
Player Requested Updates
I've added mouse over information when you hover over the blue/green buttons on the stats screen (X to access). These will appear when you level up to clarify what each stat does.
Corn was getting a little crazy so I've reduced the output per harvest to:
4-8 Corn
1-2 Seeds
Working on the post-Soros game play which I hope to make interesting, group oriented and allow you to perfect the same gear over time (no more huge jumps in damage/armor). Run him as much as you can and max out your gold! You're going to need it...
