I'm currently thinking about adding a difficulty setting to the game, in order to enable lower skilled players to be able to play through the game in a very casual environment. Playing on the easier difficulty will prevent you from being allowed to view the extras until you beat the game on normal difficulty. And changing difficulties erases you main game save data (not involving extras menu being unlocked, stars, end of game content, extra goodies, etc) I'm also thinking about adding some sort of stage select screen (only accessible on normal difficulty, to prevent players from just going to the final stage on harder difficulties and beating it.) What do you guys think about this idea? Leave your opinions in the comments below this post, and i'll see what you guys want. I would do a poll, but I feel like those things aren't as good as getting written responses from the audience.
Thinking about adding a difficulty setting...
Next up
Testing new graphics for main night level movement buttons, any suggestions or changes I should implement? (These new textures will not affect gameplay/hitboxes, they are purely visual.)
Touched up the basement level camera graphics again, and I'm much happier with them now. Just bright and clear enough :) New vs old example (my favorite one out of all of them) :
Progress... Visual effects, some camera effect reworks, lighting tweaks, and Springlock Lucifus jumpscare implemented. New jumpscare sounds for Prototypes (basement), as well as Maskman and Metal Maskman.
I managed to do a thing and make the filesize smaller, at the cost of some audio mixing issues and slightly worse audio quality in spots lmao...
V2.0.0 Released
Release Candidate 1 of the new update has been publicly released. Merry late Christmas, I decided to release what I have at the moment for people to play, and there's a questionnaire link below to suggest changes.
I've released a demo showcasing a bunch of proposed changes for the updated version of the game; namely a complete overhaul of the heating mechanic. There's also a Google Form for after you play the demo build, to give feedback.
2.1.0 Rebalancing patch (mainly affects hard mode) Makes hard mode easier in some spots, and harder with main night level specifically introduced characters. Should be more fun to play.
2.0.1 Patch (due to me forgetting to change the achievement tied to the extras in the menu to the easy difficulty one) Also renamed the application file to The Horde: Revitalized instead of THR NEW.
Found some unused audio files in the game's files, and compiled what I found into a video. Enjoy!!! :)
