Alpha is here!


Hi everyone,

First of all we are sorry for the lack of updates. Our sole programmer had college entrance exams and the game designer started his first day job. Because of this we didn’t had time to work on the game as much as we would have loved to.

But enough with this. We are back and we are proud to bring to you the alpha version of the game.

Rising platforms

A new feature that we’ve introduced are the raising platforms. This feature is not finished but we wanted to show it to you so you can get the feeling of the game. In the future the platforms will rise from the ground in different configurations after each wave.

Better pathfinding

We improved the pathfinding of the enemies by integrating a new library that does everything we wanted and more. For those who are interested, the library is called Apex Path and you can find it here.

In-Game console

On top of this we introduced an in-game console. We currently support the following commands : God Mode, Infinite Health and Infinite Energy . To open the console press the ~ key on your keyboard and write one of the following commands:

  • sr_god_mode true/false Activate god mode in which, for now, you have infinite health and energy

  • sr_infinite_health true/false Your character has infinite health

  • sr_infinite_energy true/false Your character has infinite energy

Tip: Write true if you want to activate the command and false if you want to deactivate it.

If you are interested the console is called Dev Console and you can find the here.

Other changes

  • We’ve added fog for a better in-game experience.

  • The health and energy bar above the mobs are displayed in front of other objects

  • There is now a loading screen right before you start playing the game where you can get information about the different types of enemies in the game.

  • A lot of things have been polished.

Thank you for reading this. We will be back with more updates about the game soon.

Have a great day,
the Evil Star team.
