Update 0.09 - Fog


V0.09 is another major update focused on upcoming editor and necessary code clean up. All game object classes are now flattened into generic categories like devices, weapons, enemies etc. so that everything can be serialized to homogenic arrays and shared between level editor and the game runtime. Game objects and resources now also use proper unique identificators.

Other improvements include:

  • Localization - all texts are now stored in a map for future localization
  • Loot table and unique drop - enemies now comes with a table of items to drop once defeated, including one-time and unique items. Enemy remains do not fade out if there is a unique item
  • Various deaths - depending on the final damage severity, enemies now leave various remains, in the future, the final strike will have impact on the amount and state of the loot items
  • Created a skeleton of level editor
  • Calm and Speed nano programs and blueprints
  • New crafting blueprints
  • Stun effect and new shield to protect against
  • Shaking effect on explosions and drilling
  • Drones and items are now rendered using lights in selection info bars and inventories and other dialogs
  • New area with biodome and underground, in V0.10 or later, player can use the greenhouse to grow and collect plants for chemicals
  • New hidden area with new game triggers
  • Zoning area is now highlighted for clarity
  • Combat visual effects enhanced to support pre and post combat effects (e.g. smoke and explosion during combat and slow smoke after combat)
  • Rocks reworked to use modular sprites
  • Unknown areas are now covered in fog
  • Nano resistance (Salatet & Malatet are now resistant to Calm)
  • New effects (speed, stun)
  • Weapons stats and energy required by items visible in tootlips

And there are also few bug fixes:

  • Fullscreen mode now works better with Alt+Tab keys
  • Doors are correctly treated as an obstacle during combat
  • Support for HD+ resolutions

What's next:

  • Farming
  • More crafting blueprints and more content overall
  • NPC communication
  • Long term the level editor
  • "Demo mode" to skip the starting area, until save game is inplace
