Going to split this into multiple posts; so here's the most obvious (although not the biggest) change:
the Mech's boot-up sequence and lights!

While I'm preparing a larger showcase for the game, here's a quick teaser for some of the environments. #indiedev #roguelite #solodev

Part of a promotional piece I'm working on, taking some liberties with details. Based on the game's starting mech, which isn't even the most extravagant in the entire lineup.

Mutator of the day - "Spontaneous Self-Combustion": Enemies blow up when killed, setting the stage on fire and causing all sorts of collateral damage!

Mutator of the day - "Vampirism" Sunlight slowly drains your health, so when outdoors best keep to your Mech. Or use the vampirism-enhanced melee strike to leech health from your foes!

Reworked Gatekeeper Sub-Bosses!

These are encounters after which the boss gate at the other end of the map is opened. Each delivers distinct challenges and has a theme of its own, from missiles barrages to reinforcement calls and more!

Hm, what's that mysterious hatch?

And why was it hidden under a crate?

Could it be ... a secret?

Yes, yes it's a secret. Good job, Sherlock! #proceduralgeneration #roguelike #twinstick #shooter #mechs

Quite happy how the whole onboarding sequence now feels. Here's a quick teaser of how it plays!

Improved 'splosions!

Also reworked hit feedback for Explosive Barrels and other destructible objects!

Grenades & Status Effects

# Incendiary - Sets enemies on fire and causes panic

# Acid - Slows enemies down and applies poison

# Shock - Stuns enemies in place

Alternate Realities - The Mutator System

When reality breaks down the Mutator System changes game rules unpredictably. Weird things can happen! Starting a little Mutator showcase - today: "Dark Shroud".

Enemies are wrapped in an armor of darkness!
