Hello everyone! I've been working on a score system for Spryward. This week I'm adding it into the live build. Please test it out and let me know what you think.
Explanation : Attacking Bosses, destroying enemies, completing rescues, or collecting comics / scrap / health will increase your score. Once a threshold is reached your score gets a multiplier increase up to x3. Your bar will decrease faster on x2 or x3 and your chance to score more points will need to be chained to maintain.
Added a high score screen to the main menu. The Metroborg now drops scrap when you attack him.
Level Reworks : The following levels have been slightly changed or adjusted for better pathing, aesthetic, and rewards. Issue1Level1 Issue1Level3 Issue2Level1

Note from Dev :
Thank you all for being patient while my living situation was a mess. Finally moved in to my new apartment and have internet. The main menu will still continue to see improvments and I will lengthen the intro sequence overtime. Updating the credits was very important to me, because there is a lot of great talent collaborating with me to make Spryward the best it can be. Please go check out there works and contributions to the game by following the new hyperlinks on the main menu.

Note from Dev :
Steam Deck is here! I already have a checklist of stuff to take care of to improve the experience. I'll be working on a new Steam input layout for Spryward to function better on the Steam Deck. There's also some odd flickering with decals like doors or foliage. I've got a lot to investigate, but I'm satisfied with my first impressions playing on the Steam Deck.
Spryward Devlog #5
What I've Been Working On :
I've been working on the Adams Corp HQ Interior. I've been making tons of new civilian and interior wall/floor sprites.
New Enemy Zombified Adams Soldier :
Finished the design for Neha's sister Rachel :
Designs for the 2nd Adams Corp blood processing team that works with Spryward :
Made some camera adjustments so that it adjusts / functions better in smaller interior spaces. Added a dodge function to combat that is bound to pressing the left stick down. Swing speed is slower, but gets faster while holding down left bumper. Broxa Boss Animations WIP :
Note from Dev :
My girlfriend finally got her order for a Steam Deck. We should be getting it in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to film some gameplay of Spryward on it, as well as work on some specific Steam deck optimizations once it's here. Next week's devlog will have some updates to the training room, so I can test some more issue 3 content with you all.
