This one is… massive. Actually, that’s a bit of an understatement. I’m not sure that this is our largest single beta release ever for any of our games, but it’s certainly our largest one that was done in just a week. Consequently, even trying to summarize what all has changed is really difficult — so…
This one contains two new enemies: Will O’ The Wisps, and Crashed Land Speeder Robots. One very fantasy, one very sci-fi. The swamp, the junkyards, and the thawing ice age areas definitely feel a lot more rounded-out now, although of course there’s still more enemies we want to add with time. This version also completely…
Been working on a variety of things today, but among them was a third piece of concept art. I feel like this one emphasizes the sci-fi side of things more than the second one, but I’m not sure I actually like this one better than the second one; the composition and the colors aren’t quite…
This one comes only two days after the last release, which suddenly seems fast. What happened to our daily release schedule!? Well, mainly it’s that we’re working on slightly larger features that take more than a day to implement each time. Or in the case of this specific release, a lot of medium features. There…
I’ve been working on doing some new concept art today so that we’d have a better boxart image than the old one, which has been feeling embarrassingly lame lately. Here are the first two that I’ve created, and I plan to do at least one more in the next week. The second one at the…
This one comes very near to finishing the GUI rework, which has been my main focus for about a week. There’s essentially a little bit of cleanup left to do, and then one last control (the “grid view”), which is only used on a single screen (the commodities inventory). I think that you’ll find the…
This one is continues the menu/HUD/text work from yesterday’s release in a fairly visible fashion, and it continues the multi-part monster work in a less-so fashion. Multi-part monsters are working quite well, but now we’re doing all sorts of fun other things like making it so that you can shoot a gun on the machine…
This one is another really major release in a lot of ways, as it finally implements some major performance and render-capability improvements that I’ve been wanting to do since even before we started beta. I’d been avoiding these things since they tend to be a time sink, but we’re now hitting the point where there…
Happy New Year, everyone! This one is our first update of 2012, and it lays the groundwork for a lot of new things to come. Urban Predator First of all, there’s a cool new miniboss called the urban predator, and it’s basically this big hovering spaceship-looking thing. Flaming exhaust shoots out of the bottom of…
