We have built a new main screen lobby that replaces the old style of a of an options style screen with UI. In this version you can interact with areas which include the following: to access your crafting, customise classes/character, Check inventory, Skilltrees, check leaderboards and of course the mission select. There are now new robot's that exist within this base, some roam while others will just stand in areas. You can approach and talk to them, they will respond with something about the dungeon and their constant quest to find crystals, they will help show a bit more of the story behind Dungeons and Robots.
Also members of your guild will appear in the main menu so you can see who is online and what they are doing within the main lobby. We hope that this update will help bring more of an immersive experience to the player in which they can become more involed with the world of Dungeons and Robots.
The final stretch in our stage of production
Hi All!
We know that we have been away for some time, and we apologies for keeping you all in the dark. Due to the vast responses we have received we had to go away for some time and to think over our strategy, but one thing has stayed the same the same, our passion for Dungeons and Robots. In this period but we have been hard at work to make things better for Dungeons and Robots, this isn’t the end but the beginning of the final stretch in our stage of production for this project so it is time to unveil all of our hard work!
Glow Games Studio would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their time and feedback, we massively appreciate anything suggested by the community as this is the thing that allows for any indie game to become successful. Everything that is said we have gone through and discussed how we can improvements in these areas and what approach is best to carry foreword. A lot suggestions you have given us has had incredible impact on the development of the game and although at times it may seem as if we might not been listening we can assure you that we have.
So, whats next? We are going to give weekly updates on the changes that we have been making. These will be small bitesized post's to make it easier to digest for the reader. Instead of previously what was more of a bug check off list. This approach is to help as we lead up to the Beta launch 2.0. Quick highlight over the changes we have made: the game is built to be more stable now, there should be less “lag” and FPS dropping. Rebuilt the AI system so now the enemies are more “intelligent”. A vast optimisation has taken place, areas of clipping have been removed, unnecessary memory has been reduced, so that a lot more machines can now play it smoothly.
We hope that you all continue to follow and support us and we will do our best to make sure to listen to everyone. Also feel free to follow the links down below, on twitter and indieDB as we like to post up our progress and screenshots of what we are working on. And if you want to get in contact, use any of these links and we will respond to you as soon as possible
We really want say a HUGE thanks to everyone for the feedback.
Survival
A new mode has been included in that version. It is called survival and it is an endless chain of dungeons.
The dungeons are still random generated and from now at all of them there is one type of quest to complete. At the completion of a dungeon you are lead to the next one which can be a mission dungeon again or a boss dungeon. You are taking rewards by completing each dungeon though you will take all the exps when you finish the mode.
Depending how many players and the difficulty you will play you will have certain amount of respawns and when someone dies without having respawns left the mode is over and the exps are given
