So, after another week of work, I’ve got another devlog

Not as much to show as the last two, cause I’ve been spending most of the time on bugfixes and tweaks, but we got some stuff

Super Tank

So first, a new enemy type. The super tank.

This is the most powerful type of the tanks, as is probably obvious by the name. This baby can fire all types of ammo, normal, rapid and rocket. Combined with the higher hp, it makes a much larger threat (which is also probably pretty obvious)

Laser Power Up

Yes, a laser. Currently acts as more precise rapid fire, yes I’m gonna change that. The laser is currently more of a buggy work in progress.

You might have also noticed that in the health ring, there’s another ring showing ammo. This also applies to the other weapons.

Depth

This time I don’t mean in gameplay. This time the graphics actually look alright… ish.
So far I’ve added it to concrete and the players head.

I only started adding it a few hours ago, so it obviously needs improvement.

Bug fixes and tweaks

Picking up hp drops at full hp no longer increases hp

Explosions no longer render under walls

Hp bar colour change replaced with a gradient

Rocket pickup sprite changed to differentiate from rapid pickup

Explosion size increased

Esc key returns to the main menu

Brush type is visible before you place

Rapid tank, rocket tank, super tank, rapid powerup and rocket powerup added to editor

Future of the project

So, what next?

Graphics

As was probably obvious from the depth subject, I’m gonna be adding depth to all the sprites. However, I’m also gonna be adding a new art style. No teaser yet.

Devlogs and Game progress

So, I’m about to start my GCSEs. This doesn’t mean I’m going to stop developing. If I manage to manage my workflow correctly, there shouldn’t be too much damage games development, but this basically acts as warning.

Games release

No idea. Though if things go well, it’ll be done early 2019.

The games name

Short answer, I’m changing it. Long answer the title just doesn’t work. This is what you get when you search it up.

And believe me, the Runescape stuff goes on for a while. If you add “game”, you get a different, and probably better (though I’ve never heard of it) called Titans of Steel.

Once you add “Gamejolt” you finally get the game. But obviously that’s not good enough.

So yeah, I’m probably gonna change it.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and following the development of Steel Titans (working title now I guess)
