Steam Next Fest Demo

It's coming! A publicly playable demo, as part of the Steam Next Fest, and even tho the game still has a long way to go I do think the core mechanics are there and a starting amount of content is there to experience (and hopefully see) the potential of the game. So few more weeks!

If this is your first time reading about the game, I do weekly devlogs over on Youtube talking and showing the various changes to the game and also the decision making that goes into game-design. Right now we are a few versions further since the last update, and that also means a lot has been done! The latest devlog talks about some cool new "mini tasks" added to the game, which really enhance the game:

This weeks changes-list

I skipped a few weeks of updating the list publicly, so the list is fairly long this time just to have a complete overview for reference - I am skipping the various (minor) bug fixes (would triple the size of the list!)

• added: if all player-controlled characters die - end mission (Failure)
• tweak: moved skill-set AI to triggersystem (can now handle multiple at once)
• added: buffs and debuffs to building-placement
• added: effects of buffs and debuffs to game code
• added: game starts with placing HQ
• added: nightvision lights when power is cut off
• added: city-view cars can drive over pedestrians
• added: city-view pedestrians can start shooting at each other (based on how violent the city has become)
• added: countdown numbers to grenades
• added: countdown to C4
• added: if player enters tiny room with 1 door, AI should not follow (unless player inFight mode)
• added: Enemy groups running in when "interacting" with items
• added: health-bars above character when restoring HP/resting
• added: showing mission-progress in HUD

• tweak: improved various settings/interface navigational thingies

One of the tasks/mini-games in the game: disable these motion-activated bombs or become fragmeat!

Another task, fairly simple, but they break up the gameplay a bit and provide a nice emerging addition to the game.
