It’s clear that gadgets is one system I’m still not happy with and trying to improve. This update aims to improve these things: While cool in theory, I really didn’t like how unlocking blueprints, and then still having to upgrade/roll those blueprints in mission felt. This update solidifies the feel that unlocking a blueprint means you have the tech to use forever in the future (as long as you find said gadget).Gadgets having a downside or cost is something I think fits the system well, but having to rely on other game systems to power some of them felt weird. I like that these perk rolls allo

This was another large code update that sets things up for the future. Multiple things I’m excited about in this updateOriginally, I thought it would be really cool to integrate all the bosses into the procedural maps. Turns out doing that puts a ton of constraints on what I can make for boss arenas, as well as causes lots of problems with mission distances and pacing. Boss arenas should be unique and grand in scale, and having them as separate levels gives me that freedom now. I think a fade to black/loading screen is a small price to pay for how much more can be done with the arenas now. Con

I’m a big fan of games with minimal or no tutorial, the ‘figure it out’ style of gameplay. Unfortunately I'm also making a game with many things going on at once. Those 2 things do not go together well, so I've been doing what I can to make as minimalistic of a ‘tutorial’ as possible. I’ve seen two main issues with new players’ first runs: Tutorial steps are missed for various reasons (timed reading, busy in combat, other menus overriding, etc.)People are annoyed with the frequent pausing of the game to have things explainedI think this new checklist style system is a much better solution to t

UpdatesPhysical dmg, elemental dmg, crit chance, perk range, status strength and overcharge strength beacons have been moved into the path stats systemStatus effect resistance has been added to the path stats systemCrit chance, status effect strength&resistance have been added to the base path stats pool.

UpdatesAdded backgrounds to world holograms to improve visibility at distanceMost interactables now have world icons Interactable spawn selection code updated. I’m trying to spread them out more, increasing the chance of finding things while travelling towards objectives, instead of them just being centered around them. Doing this while maintaining consistency and not spawning things too far on a procedural open style map has been a challenge.

Until now, enemies seemingly seem to spawn randomly/out of nowhere. In reality, one of the main ways enemies are spawned are when you reach certain locations within the map. This was supposed to feel like ‘combat rooms’ but really just ended up feeling random. This has been replaced with the Sentries, giving you visibility and some control over when and where certain groups of enemies spawn. This is also the first small step in filling the map and making it feel more alive as you move through it. This is only phase 1 for the Sentries, the plan is to have multiple types of Sentries in the futur
