Flippin Kaktus goes to DevGAMM
Short but important update for us!
Flippin Kaktus goes to DevGamm in about a month. We received quiet good feedback at Digital Dragons this year, but guess what - it gets better every day!
Looking forward to see you at Showcase, present unseen features and majorly updated gameplay and maybe even fantasize about concrete release date ;)
Long time no see, right? Buried in tasks and feature updates rushing towards you: Gene K is here with another dev diary session and some general updates from the Flippin world!
We're finalizing thug city level, which was really really a challenge, but sure is inspiring and rewarding (in XP and more inspiration).
We've added 2 new armors: one is a heavy barrel that reflects bullets and smashed enemies below. Another one is inspired by sci-fi action masterpiece from 1987 - Robocop. It's a bit bizzare when you know that game action happens in 1984, but it's fun, just let it go!
This badass Robo suit allows Kaktus to use actual weaponry and has decent shielding that protects from bullets, fire and even missiles, launched from the brand new missile turrets.
What's next? We're going back to 1914 to create levels in mountain area where Kaktus learns to handle a shot of tequila and fight back those rascals.
As usual, most recent and very graphical updates can be found on Twitter, so check it out 😉
