Neon Slashers
AI Tweak
We have taken a look at the AI recently (after receiving a comment about it) and have noticed that the bots have a tendency to self destruct when moving around a stage (this was happening more on certain stages than others).
This update tweaks them a bit so that they should no longer do this when moving around the map; however, they may still self destruct when trying to avoid an attack.
Please let us know if you find any problems with the tweaked AI but it should be behaving better than before from our testing (we are always open to further ideas and suggestions though).
Our overall goal with the AI is not really to have them emulate a player but to be as enjoyable as possible to play against.
We appreciate that this problem was pointed out to us. If you have any other suggestions or problems in regards to the game in general; let us know in the forums and we'll see what we can do about it.
Thanks everyone.
Battle Knights Bundle
Neon Slashers has been out for about 2 weeks and we hope that those who have played have been enjoying it.
For those of you who haven't purchased it yet, we've bundled Battle Knights (our other game) and Neon Slashers together for $2.99 which basically means you get Neon Slashers for free as Battle Knights normally sells for $2.99.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the game and thanks to everyone who's purchased either or both games so far as we're always very appreciative of the support.
Release Date and General Info
We plan on releasing Neon Slashers on either June 28th or July 5th depending on how things pan out.
About the game itself, Neon Slashers is intended to be a quick play type of game whenever you want to kill a bit of time.
Matches are short and the winner is the player with the most points from killing other players. The game supports up to 4 players in free for all style matches with the level being selected at random.
Offline play has bots in case you'd like to play alone or add a few more players if you don't have enough friends over.
Online play features a simple lobby system and matches can be started once there are at least 2 players in the lobby. Open lobbies can be created (anyone can see and join) and so can friend only lobbies (only your steam friends can see and join).
This is a small game so it will cost $0.99 USD (or the equivalent depending where you live).
Finally, please visit our community forums once the game is available if you find any bugs/issues or have any requests/suggestions. The appropriate threads are available now for viewing and we welcome any constructive feedback.
