Small features.


I decided it was time to work on optimising my code a bit. So I went through and did just that.

On top of that, I’ve added a accurate FPS counter that give you:
Lowest fps
Average fps
Highest fps

I’ve also added a spawn cap per round, for example:

Say there’s 16 enemies and 4 spawners, each spawn 4 enemies, what my system does is caps the spawn rate to 2, so now it spawns 2 for every 4, once the player has killed the 8 enemies that have spawned, the spawners will spit out the 8 that are left to end the round at a total of 16.

Every time you open a door and link the new spawners, my system takes that in to account and adjusts the variables needed! Best part about it is that I got a huge boost in my frames! And the Player won’t get crowded by 100 zombies at a time!

Now obviously that’s just an example, there’s going to be more than 2 at a time (16 from each to be exact, possibly 8 depending).

Again, on top of all that, I’ve fixed a lot of bugs, I had to go all out Sherlock on one of them - Reloading and purchasing a perk whilst not having enough takes 500 points and gives you full ammo.

Thanks to my tester Mrr7782 for spotting that. Right now I’ve got 2 testers all with different specs.

Testers:

We’re on on Windows so I’ll have to wait to test on Mac. If you have Mac and would like to test please drop a comment and I’ll send you a message!

Next up

A quick screenshot. Just released the build to my testers, it’s has a name because it’s special, “The Graphics Patch”. Now, I really need to model those perk machines…

Huge update coming soon. For now, take a look at our Christmas icon!

A heads up. I might be silent but I will still be working on the game, I can promise that. Here’s a snippet of code, I only noticed what it read after I wrote it.

My D&D art for my family so far (WIP if you couldn't tell)

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.

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
