NOTE: THE DEMOS HERE ARE OUT OF DATE and will no longer be updated.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!

Version 0.1.560

Lots of new content this week!

  • It's my birthday this week! Webcrawlers have dressed appropriately, and I expect you to as well.
  • In addition to +5 health, players now receive 2 RAM and 0.1 RAM/s per level
  • New building shapes have been sighted in cyberspace
  • V-Axys has been working hard and the hacking music has been improved.
  • Debug Option: Low Particle Mode added for those of you who can't handle the awesome S.H.A.R.K. hoverthrusters
  • The game pauses now when menus are open, because it's silly to not be able to pause a single player game. When I add multiplayer, you will not be able to pause the game, but only during multiplayer sessions.
  • UI Clarifications
  • Shotgun Knockback has been brought back into line a bit
  • Lasguns now benefit from Attack Speed (more damage per tick, same tick rate)
  • Ranged Enemies are now smarter
  • All known bugs have been fixed.

Any feedback or suggestion is always appreciated.

Here's
the official Reddit/r/gamedev Feedback Friday thread if you'd like to give feedback there.

Oh, and a happy birthday to me!

Party Hats!
