Game
Wave One
9 years ago

Coming Along Nicely!


The past couple days were pretty busy for me, so I didn’t get all that much dev time in, but today I spent a solid 5 hours working on Wave One (and I’ll probably put a few more hours in tonight!) but I’m happy to report the following additions to the game:

  • I actually added gameplay. What was before just a home menu is now something you can actually play. (aka spaceships to blow up)

  • Lots of screen shake for an impactful experience.

  • A particle system for dynamic explosions

  • Laser cannon will overheat if you use it to much, causing you to have to wait extra time before you can use it again

  • Player health with Game Over on death

  • 2 of the many powerups planned

So there is a lot more for me to do, but already the game is kind of a blast to play. It shouldn’t be very long (1 week?) before the game is ready for some play testers. But I’ll make a whole new post for that.

So what do you think? Are you excited? Have ideas to make the game better? Interested in being a play tester? Let me know in the comments. :D

The Home Menu Before and After Development Today (1/3/17)

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Strange Umbrella

Demonstration of the spells and their effects :)!

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
