Hey everybody! Sorry for posting a bit later than usual, but it's time for the public v.04 update! Unfortunately I'm exhausted as all hell and currently running on fumes, so the actual post from me will be brief and also copy-pasted between the different forums I update on. Sorry for the temporary laziness, pls to be forgiving <3
Download v.04 here!
And here's a list of all the major things I accomplished in v.04.
UPDATE V.04 DETAILS
-Add in Force Shot upgrade
-Add sliding
-Update crouching animation
-New HUD
-Design, animate, and prep enemies for combat (tentacles)
-Add in lighting system
-Improve camera
-Fix the visual glitches zoom-in is causing
-More sex animations (tentacles, slime duo)
-Create more content (areas), begin re-tiling areas
Some of you may notice that last one, "begin re-tiling areas". That is because, in light of Dace leaving the project, I began working with another artist last month, an extremely talented fellow named Orexius. He did a fucking fantastic job of plowing through the necessary tiles and getting them ready for the v.04 update, but there unfortunately wasn't enough time for me to re-tile every room, as he joined in the last week or so before the update. Because of that, some rooms will be the older tiles that Dace made - but hopefully you'll agree with me that the newly tiled rooms look fantastic, and fit the style of Crisis Point better than ever.
Once you've finished enjoying the v.04 update, here's a list of the things you can look forward to when v.05 comes out:
UPDATE v.05 GOALS
-Add in melee attack
-Add in a non-knockdown "taking damage" animation
-Design, animate, and prep enemies for combat (Warped Soldier)
-More sex animations (Warped Soldier)
-Begin designing first boss (won't be accessible ingame yet)
-Re-code collision engine
-Implement customizable controls
-Finish HUD
-Create more content (areas), finish re-tiling areas, introduce new environment
If any of that sounds enticing, now's the time to pop over to the Patreon campaign and join up - only Patrons who have joined before the month ends will be able to access the v.05 update before it goes public!
(Sorry to keep spewing rhetoric with that, I just want to make sure there's no confusion about the new distribution system I'm using.)
Anyway, that's enough out of me. I'm tired and retreating under the sheets for a nice nap. Enjoy the game, everybody!

Nice update anon! Really enjoying your work! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, after playing I decided to write down some suggestions for you. Use what you wish or none at all. :P
-At certain parts there should be some signs or cut-scenes that'll explain controls or a hint on what to do next.
-When given the debug ability's, there should be a button that shows the buttons again. In-case someone forgot what the controls were as well as the standard controls as well.
-Damage is a bit buggy a bit. I'm sorta use to just watching the sex scenes and just leaving it there to prevent HP loss. Not sure if this was changed or is bug. :/
Regardless, this is really turning out well! And I can't wait for the next update. Keep working hard dude!
The game's still in production. Things like cutscenes are great, but they're also extremely low priority detail things that get added much later in development. Creating actual gameplay and content is much more important right now. As far as leaving hints for where to go, that's not really the point of a game based on exploration, lol. Everything in the demo is pretty straight-forward for now, in any case.
DeleteI'll consider adding a button to display debug 'cheats' again. They're things I use when debugging the game though so implementing them for the players is something I didn't really have to put effort into, it's just a fun little thing for people to play with once they're done with the update.
I don't know what you mean by damage being 'buggy' during sex scenes. If you struggle while being raped, you take damage. If you don't struggle, you don't take damage. That's how it's always worked. I have it that way so people can enjoy the sex scenes if they want to without being in danger, but if you want to try and beat the game while avoiding rape it adds some extra challenge - the incentive to do so being the alternate endings.
Can you make a debug cheat where you can summon the slime/tentacle? Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteAny news anon? When can we expect the next update to come out?
ReplyDeletePublic updates are around the 25th of every month. I can post some info about the next update soon, but an actual content update will come on the 25th.
