Gun quirks!

I've made changes to a few guns to make them more satisfying to use.

Also, you may notice the shop has a pair of training dummies to try your new gear on.


Rotoblaster: The first shot always fires perfectly straight with no scatter. This should be handy for sniping small flying enemies.

Scattergun: Can be fired twice in a row before its long-ish cooldown period. This makes it perfect for quick burst damage in a hit-and-run strategy.

Pistols: The targeting reticule for the charged sniper shot now appears before you fire, so you know what you're aiming at.

Cannon: The beam shot now inflicts damage over time, so you have to keep it trained on the enemy to do the full amount of damage. To compensate, the uncharged shot is also more powerful.

Gatling: This didn't change recently, but I never got around to showing it off earlier. Demonstration GIF coming this weekend. Promise.

Avast! Space pirates!

And what's a captain without his crew? These scoundrels will be among the first to make life difficult for you in Phase 3.

There's something off about this room.

Almost as if we've entered a new dimension - a THIRD dimension.

Anyway, Construct 3 has had 3D features for a while and I decided to play with them a little. What do you think? Cool effect? Too jarring?

Rejoice! The jankiest puzzle in the game has been re-done.

It's still a little fiddly, but now the boulder's less likely to do screwy things like get stuck on a platform, or teleport you to the side on touch.

I got a little creative block working on the lake level, so I skipped ahead for a bit.

This is the Boss Rush arena event! You fight many/all bosses back-to-back here.

I decided to go crazy with 3D effects here, since it happens in a virtual reality room.

Behold, your reward for beating boss rush - this sick-as-heck 3D cutscene I threw together over the weekend!

Yeah, I know the game is mostly 2D, but I really felt like going way over the top with this game mode. I hope it paid off.

More underwater friends :)

Scenic subterranean lake ambiance.

It seems so peaceful... for now.

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.

Sweet victory.

Kodon's prologue level is DONE! That's milestone 1 of 4 for completing Phase 3 and reaching Crucible's final release.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!

Sure has been a while since I posted something new, huh? Well, that's because I've been working on something big (that, and bugfixing).

Here's a little preview of that something!
