NOTE: THE DEMOS HERE ARE OUT OF DATE and will no longer be updated. Black Ice is still in development, but these are only here as an archive of early work. Black Ice is a Hack and Shoot - a cyberpunk first person shooter / hack and slash rpg about hacking. Think Borderlands meets Tron. The cyber-world is procedurally generated, the colors are neon, the loot is randomized, and the lasers are loud. Black Ice is in Beta - you can try the demo right here!

This week, I have one awesome feature in particular, an awesome new track from V-Axys, balancing changes, bug fixes, and quality of life changes.

  • Added Swarm Buildings - here's what they spawn, and here's what they look like.
  • Added music when you agro the S.H.A.R.K. He's even more terrifying now!
  • Cooldowns on items with virtually no cooldown will no longer show on the hotbar
  • Lasgun RAM consumption has been brought up, but it's still much less than most weapons on a per-second basis
  • Low level Jetpacks are a little less powerful
  • The tutorial building will now only spawn simple spiders
  • Tech Buildings (blue to light blue normal buildings) now spawn easier minibosses
  • Healing Items work again
  • Special Xmas Surprise next week! It should start tomorrow, and run for about a week.

Let me know how the balancing feels. Are you able to beat Finality? How's the SHARK?

Any feedback or suggestions are always appreciated.Black Ice was nominated for Indie of the Year, so please vote here. It just takes a second, and you don't even have to register! You can vote for more than one game, too.
