ROCKET LAUNCHER!

This is the last power-up I'm making for the "First Playable" version! It shoots exploding rockets at random directions, at a fixed time interval!


I initially had coded this missile as following the closest zombie but figured it was too powerful, and this made the power-up too hard to balance. So now this power-up fires the rockets at random angles.

Here's the rocket inside Construct:

(The smoke looks kinda weird because it's not supposed to remain still in the air haha)

The time at which it shoots the missiles is every 8s for the first tier of this power, I made the game shoot them at a higher frequency for the gif only.

This missile explodes in contact with a zombie and uses the same explosion object as the grenade.

In case you folks are curious about this sort of thing, here are all the events I used to program this missile:

That's it! So long everyone!

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

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!!)

Some additional comments in the article!

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

CONSTRUCT TUTORIAL TIME! I wanted to make a "mini-article" on how to make the distance-based zoom control mechanic I did for Dead Drift since it's so easy!
