Demo Update v0.9.4a


 

This new update brigs a few changes that were made with the intention of streamlining the player experience, from encounter difficulty to gameplay aspects that were present only in small sections and were expanded upon.


The greatest change has been the implementation of video-based tutorials instead of forcing all the info to the player in a single info chart now the player can see the mechanics in use with button prompts and messages to guide through the use of these.

All the tutorials are accessible in the menu interface at all times.



A few maps were revisited and changed, the small abandoned house is no more, in its place a destroyed convenience store was set up, even if ruined it could still hold some useful goodies.
This change was inspired by apocaliptic survival games like Fallout and State Of Decay, who have ruined convenience stores to explore and loot as part of their post apocaliptic enviroments and it felt appropiate to at least try and incorporate a more adequate type of building for the setting explored in the demo.


Other changes include:

Addition of a vent system to the hospital area allowing to sneak through them to bypass some guard patrols.

Fixing of the exploding barrels feature whose damage is in beta phase and will be tweaked depending on the results.

A new boss encounter which brings the total count to 4 this boss should be easier than the previous first boss, which now is #2 on the list giving an easier first encounter for players to test skills and tools.

Tweaked the AI so now enemy types can fight each other, for now its implemented on one room for testing purposes and depending on the feedback it will be expanded upon for future releases.

The menu has been revamped to be a smartphone interface, and the "current objective" has been moved to this menu interface to ease up on the main UI which proved to be too cumbersome.

Hope all these changes help make the experience more enjoyable, feel free to test and give any feedback you deem worth noting!
