Devblog 4: New classes, Matchmaking and more!


In the last 2 weeks I added lots of bugfixes, improvements and new features to the game.

The first new feature is a quick communications menu (press “N”) where you can give your team quick commands like “Wait here!”, and only your team will see your commands.

I also added 2 new classes, one for each team: The ninja (robbers) and the spy (cops). The ninja has 2 smoke grenades he can throw each round, and gets health refunded for every melee attack he hits. The spy can disguise himself as an employee or customer, and gets harder to see when he’s crouching. Additionally, I changed the detectives passive ability, he can now see how long someone has been dead by crouching next to the dead body and looking at it.

I changed a lot regarding guns aswell, the hit detection should be a lot more reliable now, I also increased the shotguns accuracy, increased the snipers damage and added new sounds and muzzle flashs for all weapons!

You will find healthkits on the map now, just press the Action Key (default: “F”), to use them. They will give you around 25% HP back.

There is also a “Quick Matchmaking” button in the main menu, it will find an open session and have you join it, or host an open server for others to join if it cant find any other servers.

I changed the map aswell, the buildings around it can now be climbed (but you cant fall off them into the void, dont worry), and there is a new side street featuring another rescue helicopter incase the cops camp the first one!

Please leave feedback below or join the games discord (https://discord.gg/AuaXkam) to give your opinion/bugreports there, thanks for all your support, have fun!

And I am working on the Steam version, so you will get news about it soon™ :)

Some Shadow boss fight gameplay 👾

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

blender animation experimentation, getting the hang of things fast. arms, rig, & gun models by me ofc
