DEAD DRIFT UPDATE!

I'm still working on the missions, and it's been harder than I anticipated. However, I was able to make missions work (even if the UI is a little janky)!

Click on Read Article for more info!


As of now, missions already collect information from the runs, such as zombies killed, time survived, level reached, and it's easy to implement new parameters.

Also, missions can already award two types of reward:

  • New Powers: most powers are initially locked, and need to be unlocked by completing missions;

  • Stat Increases: some game stats, such as initial lives, bullet damage, car speed, etc, etc, can be increase by static mission rewards.

These two reward types cover almost all types, the only one left is the "New Vehicle" award, which is going to be harder because the game's not yet ready for more than one vehicle. This is the next thing I'll be working on, though!

That's it for now, folks!

See ya soon!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Posting some other DEAD DRIFT EXPERIMENT GIFS. You can see "enemy trucks" (the dark rectangle thingies roving around) AND big zombies (they have 10x the HP of a regular zombie!!)

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)
