Area 86 DevLog #17


A new update for Area 86!
This time included more improvements and even more polishing!

Let’s start with the “throw bar”.
It was a bit annoying to watch screen bottom to see how much force we are applying to our object throwing.
Not anymore - I removed that bottom bar and made a new power bar under our robot:

A lot of time went investigating physics bugs and glitches.
Sounds like an impossible task, but glitches got fixes and overall physics simulation is more stable!
While watched how people complete the 1st tutorial level noticed that it needs to be more dynamic.
That means that tutorial got a little overhaul and now it shows hints on what to do to all objects not only the hardcoded as before.
Should be more helpful for new players.

Another feature that was missing were settings in pause menu while at the game!
Boom - they are now there and you can manage your controls and sound settings.

Think that this will be it!
Did you know that there will be other devices/robots/humans who will interact with our robot???

Have a nice day and don’t forget to try the latest version!

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
