Another improvement to the upgrade cards visuals and the first upgrade implementations (check the article)!

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #strategy


As I mentioned above, I've iterated on the upgrade card design and graphics. I also improved the icons and written the card text outside the card, so that the card descriptions can be longer and more... erm... descriptive.

Regarding the powers, let me show you folks the ones I have already implemented. First, let us remember how the game works without any power:

One of the powers I'm naming Shotgun (on yesterday's post, it was called Multishot). It adds more bullets to every shot. Here's what happens when you select it:

The additional bullet helps the car kill more zombies!

The other power I implemented is the Machine Gun. It improves the rate of fire of each car, so that the car shoots more bullets per second, dealing more damage:

Finally, the last cool power I have implemented is the Nitro. When you purchase it, all your cars will move considerably faster. Here, take a look:

Vroooooom!

These powers, like in all roguelikes and stuff, will stack, so as you level up, you'll be able to combine them and discover their synergies.

That's it for today, dummies! Follow this project or myself for more updates!

See ya ;)

NEW UI PLANNING!

Since the beginning of this project, I've done its UI in a somewhat haphazard way. Now it's time to get some things right, so I'm planning to fix some things about its user interface.

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!
