Completed the first mission with auto-cannon today from the first try. Little sneaky bastard tactics also helped. I guess you should really take more appropriate weapons for each mission and change your tactics depending on the situation. Also helicopter felt near me and and damaged my armor. That is a really nice touch here. And I noticed at last that buildings are not just sprites - the perspective changes a little when the camera moves so you can see they have a volume. Really cool.
P.S. BTW - tested the game both on my pretty powerful gaming PC with Windows 10 and on my old laptop (ASUS N53TK). Runs fine on both of them.
So I checked the new demo at last. It seems like AI improved and became more challenging. I like minigun changes but there should probably be more start ammo for it or more ammo in pickups (or both). Railgun fun and OP but as you've said - if it will be a final weapon then it's fine. Probably you'll implement some point system where you should unlock new weapons and systems depending on your sum highscore on all levels (you can find an example of such system in Jets and Guns 2 and Bot Vice - although here it is a timer for all missions but idea is the same). In this case there will be a reason to play more accurate to decrease damage to property. I like new helicopter enemy very much since I'm a fan of Strike series (I was wondering how the game would look like if you had a helicopter instead of a mecha... probably an idea for some mission or couple of them?). Remarks from the heroine looks cool but I'd increase the time before they vanishes at least twice since it's not always possible to pay an attention to them immediately in battle. Also I'd change default grenade button to F, Q or E but I guess you'll implement key bindings at some point so it's fine for now. Funny thing BTW - the only mission that I couldn't complete is... the first one. Others feel a bit easier with grenades, especially the second one. New mission looks very nice BTW. It has that Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach vibe in it. ^_^
Wow, discovered new update just by accident. I think you should post development logs so there would be a mentions about updates for users that following you.
I'm kinda surprised that although its clear that the project is on the very early stage of development it has already pretty good core gameplay and excellent gunporn! Seriously it's very important for shooter game make shooting fun. Most games with guns just don't have this feeling and you're already achieved it! I like the action here is already more than in Brigador. And your art style is very cool! Hope you'll finish the game so looking forward for its further development!
I know that this is an old game but it would be cool if you'll implement some easy mode with no receiving damage from obstacles or probably some restorable shield after 5-10 seconds. Couldn't complete it unfortunately both then and now.
Честно говоря, не думал, что это критично. Так бы, конечно, сказал. Кстати, раз уж помимо двух стрелков теперь есть два звероподобных рукопашника, полагаю, стоит в будущем ждать второго мага?
Retribution у нового персонажа сильно замедляет игру почему-то у меня на ноуте. Подобное только в главном меню есть, у остальных персонажей такого не наблюдается (проверил на всякий случай на саламандре в новой версии). Ещё заметил, что у оборотня при атаке в воздухе используется та же анимация, что и та, когда он стоит на земле. Честно говоря, у саламандры это выглядит гораздо лучше, потому что когда она в воздухе, даже при атаке одна её нога чуть выше другой. Никогда не задумывался, почему мне некоторые платформеры кажутся кривыми в плане анимаций, теперь понимаю почему - как раз там зачастую тоже используется та же анимация атаки в воздухе с расположением ног, как если бы персонаж стоял на месте. Ну и да, всё-таки хотелось бы какой-нибудь изи мод с более лояльными чекпоинтами. Первый-то уровень я зачистил ещё несколько месяцев назад, и даже непостижимым образом мне хватило терпения, чтобы забрать секретки, а вот на второй меня, увы, не хватило.
Damn checkpoints on level 2 are even more insane. Sorry not sure if my patience would be enough to finish the game. Loosing 10-15 minutes of really hard progress is very demotivating. -_-
Oh no. After so many tries I completed those arenas as sorceress and could go a little further than usual in that spike zone afterwards and that's what I got. -_-
I think there should definitely be a save point in the crypt after three floors of arena fights. Just near the health altar. Counting that there is also a little starting segment on the graveyard after you defeated Overseer it's very tiresome to complete all these areas again if you fail near that huge statue of cobra.
Not sure that someone mentioned it already but I think I found a bug. Changed reloading button from V to D but reloading function stayed on a V button. At the same time charged special attack works on a D button.
Just tried the demo yesterday. Must admit that it's very addictive. If you would ever like to support additional languages - do not hesitate to write me, I can do Russian translation (translated Bot Vice and Shotgun King).
My first impressions - it's a very addictive game! I played it until 5 AM. To be honest that thing with 100 goblins in one unit was always the main reason why I didn't like HoMM and King's Bounty series. But this kinda RTS battles are gorgeous! Can't say that I like graphics a lot especially interface design. HoMM 3 looked more pleasant. But it's not distracting either. Hope that in future versions there will be an art for towns like in HoMM or Disciples. It was very satisfying to see how your fortress grows. Ah by the way - it would be much more convenient if the game would be set to pause not only when you chose some spell but also when you open a spell book. It will make possible to read spell descriptions without harsh and decide what you should use.
Just passing by and thank you once again for your great helicopter games hoping that one day you'll make a helicopter coop game. I'm sure it will be devastating! BTW - you could make a bundle with all your games so it would be easier to get all them in collection and support you.
Hello. We've found a bug. Just completed challenge with 10 combo tried to take the reward and it can't be taken for some reason. I press A on a gamepad and Enter on a keyboard and we hear a sound but nothing happens.
Excellent game! Hope to see its further development. I also hope that in future different weapons (probably including default) will act more differently. Like in Dead Cells or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. We also noticed several bugs. Once we had soft lock and I was killed by box several times when I tried to pick it up (seems like physics glitch).
So I tried it at last with my friend and we had some fun with it. ^_^ But noticed several issues also. First of all sometimes after changing controls menu freezes for some reason. At the same time it definitely works cause we hear some sounds. Another thing - in case if we press shift the game slows down. Pressing shift again put it all back.
P.S. It would be exciting to see from you some coop game with helicopters like Hornet Virus or Night of the little birds (not necessary with two helicopters, probably two players controlling one copter).
Oh really? In this case player can also get additional fuel depending on what target he destroyed (like 1 for trooper, 5 for submarine or so). I also suggest just to stop rotor in case if fuel is absent but helicopter is on a ground. It looks kinda strange that it blows up in this case. Not that it means a lot but it would look like more logical.
Tried Air Patrol again and noticed that there is some fuel regen system. Not sure how it works but I would suggest to make it that way. If you have 4 bases - you get 1 fuel every second. If you have 3 bases - you get 1 fuel every two seconds. And so on. It would stimulate player to defend bases and also would let to die from fuel absence not that often (for now it's the most common ending in my Air Patrol runs).
Well the thing is it's not always possible to approach slowly to the cargo. Sometimes enemies just don't give this opportunity. As for parachuting - well I know how to do it but during action it's easy to forget right button or press wrong button. It would be more convenient just to press E again in the air to open parachute.
