Tournament mode
I just added the tournament mode. Grab some friends, enter your names, play the game one by one and see who's the best at shooting The Unspeakable Ones!
Crates!
I pushed a new build; you can find destructible crates on the play area now. They contain ammo or XP bonuses (that's another thing I added in this build) - so it's certainly worth to look around for them!
Build 0.7.0 - tutorials
- added in-game tutorial texts
- added destructible bushes
- added ground texture
- fences are easier to drive through now
- optimized a few things
- fixed claimed house icons
New build
- play area is restricted now
- impenetrable forest
- player starts on a road
- added a new enemy type
- added support for looping sounds to the positional sound system
- fixed numerous bugs with giant enemies death
- more balanced gameplay, enemies are getting more dangerous as the game progresses
- fixed some sounds looping for too long
Build 0.6.2 - fields and fences
At last! It took much more time than I planned, but the new build is available now. Most of my work was spent on making a world generator which does not allow for overlapping of any objects (houses, roads, fields) - it was surprisingly tricky to get this right with all the object shapes and rotations available. The good news is that I can add new objects much easier now, so expect to have a more varied game area in the upcoming builds!
Changelog:
- garages are now bigger
- cultists don't chase you when you're indoors
- added fields
- added destructible fences
- the Elder "bullets" are easier to avoid now
- houses absolutely won't overlap anymore
- fixed crash on longer play sessions (thanks to Queen Ripple!)
Fences
I'm adding things to live up the world a bit. My current focus are fenced areas; cultists need to move around them, they stop the Elder "bullets" and they crush and bow before your mighty car, if you're at proper speed!
I have to fix a few things about them first, but I'll push the update soon!
Garage improvements
Changelog:
- added roads leading to houses, making them easier to find and easier to drive into
- added garage-car impact sounds
- added sounds and a particle effect for garage door's destruction
- car engine sound is now muffled indoors
- car is now slightly visible when indoors
- houses shouldn't overlap anymore
New update - garages
I just implemented a different way to repair your car!
There are a few shacks on the play area. They're used by cultists, but you can get inside and drive them off. A claimed shack (or is it a barn? Who knows!) becomes your garage and you can stop there to repair your car.
I think it's much more interesting than the old and tired stop-to-repair mechanics. Also, it gives you something to do at the very beginning of the game, which was a bit too empty.
Let me know what you think!
(as you can see, I made the barn doors destructible - just for fun :) )
