Asking for your thoughts (Part 7) "New features!"


Okay I've got some stuff to show off and talk about!

Revamped some of the art:

First off lets get some of the boring stuff out of the way. I redid the mute and unmute icons to make it cleaner and to match the settings button. I also redid the health and ammo crates to make them look a bit better.

NEW STUFF:

A huge quality of life feature I'll be adding (the first two images) is a way to tell if there's a crate in the houses. The lights will light up green if there is a crate inside.

I'm adding shield in the game. This is basically an ability that you can use to take less damage. It will have a bar like the health does but the more you use the ability the bar will go down until you run out of shield. You will start off with no shield and you will have to get shield crates to charge it up. I'll probably make this upgradable with more capacity and more damage resistance but for now I just want to focus on getting it implemented which will be a while. I'll also make the players shadow change color depending on how much shield and if you are using it or not.

Conclusion:

I'm really excited about these features! Also the shield thing was planned since vary late in development I just never got around to it. I have a couple over ideas I've had for a while but I'll probably wait for a sequel before I use them. Anyways I'll probably finish up the last little bit I need to do before showing off the completed levels today or tomorrow so I'll have more to share soon!

Thought about that piece of concept art awhile back of the electrified ship.

The new enemy is implemented and rough design for the armory.
