Hello everyone!
Other two weeks passed, and new hot stuff spawned in BeardedBear!
- Big improvements to overall style of the game and many eyecandy have been added: death has now an animation which lets you understand what killed you, when and where you died; Main menu has now a clock style (A bit slower but much cooler); Beard selection also has been changed a lot with more funny animations. (Gifs are horrible, I do not know exactly why)(the circle and the pointer are still work in progress)
- Speaking of graphics, I added an hit animation for every enemy type which helps understanding what are you doing.
- A speedrun timer appeared in the right bottom of the screen for people want to try race the game in the future.
- A new entry for "stats" in main menu has been added, which lets you see some info about your records and top scores (like your best run, most kills in a run, total kills, and such classified for every beard type)
- Also in this update the experience with non-fullHD display has improved since I rethought the way of gui text are drawed. Now you can choose a fixed text scale in the options menu (or you can leave it automatically detected and adjusted), so you shouldn't see that ugly text scaling which made the text be difficult to read anymore (especially the new weapon text).
- Five new enemy powerups: enemies deal more damage, exp is lost in shorter time, enemies drop less exp, cocoons grow faster, shorter enemies spawn timer.
- Tweaks to enemies like: first boss now it's more balanced and interesting to fight with, generals now can also speed up time, enemies shouldn't take multi-hit with a single projectile anymore, shooter will move away from crates if it's near to it, removed "useless weapons" in the boss fight, etc...
- Last but not least: Seed Runs!
I managed to make a custom random generation that will not change the seed used by gamemaker, so I can make seeded runs with fixed platforms, weapons, enemies, and powerups. This is a very important step to make dailies possible!
You will be able to try all this new stuff in the next demo that I'll release in the next update (maybe you have to wait one or two week sadly).
