[UPDATE v0.3.0] FUTURE PLANS AND NEW LEVEL


Hello everyone,
Enchain has just gotten a new update (v0.3.0) with collectible secrets, a new level, a new enemy type, improved lighting, and more fixes/changes. While this update does indeed contain less than I expected, I wanted to release it anyways in preparation to begin making Enchain a full game. I decided to publish this smaller update to polish things and add a bit more content before I now start developing Enchain into something much larger.

New enemy type: Helm

In building this update, I spent much time experimenting with ambitious ideas and boss designs (like the unreleased one below). I recently realized that these designs should be pushed into a more complete release, hence the exclusion of these experiments.

My current plans for a full release are subject to change, but I intend to refine core mechanics, add weapons and ammo functions, redo enemies, create great boss fights, and, most importantly, create large and interconnected levels.
These and more goals will only be achieved over a longer period of development time and will see periodical updates in the forms of devlog posts like this one and Twitter posts.

I hope you all enjoy the new level and secrets, thanks again for all the support! It would be a tremendous help if you comment any troubles you have with the game right now, as there are still many things I can improve. Understand that the best of Enchain is still to arrive. I’m excited to get started.

Made it possible to surf around on the undead if you have them grappled! (Inspired by a certain shield-surfing mechanic from another game)

What do you think? Try it out in the demo coming this month!

Got the idea to give weapon swapping a melee hitbox, very happy with the results. It can be a quick way to sneak in some extra hits during combos! Still work-in-progress for the upcoming demo.

Updated the ENCHAIN demo to improve the boss fight a bit and add a lot of quality features.

Check it out for free on the game page. Feedback appreciated!

Got some an on-screen stamina bar working for enemies, with a little custom animation!

Worked on a seamless area transition today. What games does it remind you of?

Working on some dynamic combat for my FPS game. Enemies can be juggled in the air freely. Still need to make demo levels.
