But first, a little gift for you: We finished the sniper during the week-end! Take a look at this.
SNIPER
When using, automatically activating the following Stress Factor : Impulsive shot
A classic sniper to be more discreet and fear from a far range.
FIELD GLASSES
Crucial to your survival. You’ll be able to see your opponents from really far away, and set up your attacks in consequence. It is also very useful to know how each enemy is affected by your actions : several symbols remind you the state of each enemy you zoom on (we will detail that symbols in the next news). So take a breath and a moment to think, fighting an entire army need some strategy.
ENEMY WEAPONS
To save ammunition, you can take the weapons of your neutralized opponents:
Katana
The samuraï's favorite weapon. You can take it and use their emblematic weapon against your enemies themselves. This is kind of risky because of its short range but it is as fast as your standard melee attack. In addition, you'll be able to save some ammunition and the audience could be impressed...
Yari
The ashigaru's weapon got a huge range for a melee weapon, but it is really slow to use.
Bow
In front of your futuristic firearms, the ashigaru's also got a powerful weapon. Made of woodstick and a string. And you can take it too. Of course, you'll be less skilled than the samuraïs but you can easily shoot arrows to a middling range.
THE DRONE
Finally, you're not really all by yourself on the battlefield. As we told you before, you're always followed by your drone... unless you tell him to go somewhere else. To do so, you only have to point a place in the distance with the googles and press a key. Your drone will immediately run toward the place you've indicated. If you want to know what he is watching, just switch to the POV mod and you'll be able to see through his camera. It will give you another perspective of the battleground and a strategic advantage upon your enemies.
As you have probably noticed, your drone is designed to look like a dog, and every dog barks. This one only does it on your command. It's a perfect tool to grab the attention of the soldiers around and create a diversion.
If a soldier comes too close to the drone, he will be attacked before he got the time to blink. It can save your avatar from apparently inextricable situations. But pay attention, your drone can be deactivated if it takes too much damage.
NEXT TIME FOR T.I.M.E.S.
Next time, we will tell you more about the understanding of your actions and of the reactions of the enemies, to use efficiently the Stress Factors.
And after this, we'll launch our whole new website and we're going to tell you more about the team behind T.I.M.E.S.
That’s all we can cover for now. Thanks for your attention, we hope you’re as excited as we are about what you just read. For further information, feel free to contact us at contact -at- times-theshow.com.
Stay tuned, and see you soon!
