Feedback and path forward


I’ve received a lot of great feedback about ZRD, thanks all that have tried it out… if you haven’t get it a whirl! Anyways… one of the biggest pieces of feedback I’ve received is negative experiences in new players coming to the game is, how the camera operates.

I actually had some issues controlling the camera initially, but got used to it, and liked it… some others don’t… and I can see this being a point of frustration to new users, so I am working on implementing a smooth auto follow camera, that will allow you to automatically follow a selected defender.

I will also be creating an interface element to allow you to select a defender in the building, and it will automatically move the camera, to the defender in question.

Beyond this, there is a bit of confusion on how to use the weapon - actually had pondered this previously, and have decided to make it a bit simpler for the user. The user will be able to equip weapons, and weapons will come loaded with a specific amount of ammo. Once that ammo is gone, the defender will lower the weapon, and be idle until the ammo is filled again, and will enter a shooting state when he/she comes to idle, be able to come out of that state by moving, instead of having to press up/down to enter shooting mode/etc.

After the above changes are made, I will move on to implementing more features to the base game… the first being, more weapons, and traps!

Fan art for Foolish I'm feeling kinda better so I drew this

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

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.

Finished work on the emotions of a new character for the tank universe

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
