NOTE: THE DEMOS HERE ARE OUT OF DATE and will no longer be updated.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 is a smaller update, but it brings a whole new type of weapon: The Disc!

  • Added The Disc - a high damage weapon with a swooping, returning motion that can do damage to multiple targets if thrown accurately.
  • Added Instant Heal items, which heal for a large amount instantly, but have a long cooldown.
  • Reverted jump to the old version, but added a Charge Jump item for those of you who want to be Neo.
  • You can no longer unequip weapons that are on cooldown. This is intended to eliminate gameplay that requires you to rapidly swap items.
  • The S.H.A.R.K. can now path around corners and therefore hunt more effectively. See also: /u/S_H_A_R_K_
  • The S.H.A.R.K. no longer agros to shark-surfing players, allowing the player to steer the shark by hacking nearby buildings. That's right - he can work for you now.
  • The version check no longer tells you to update if you have no internet access.
  • Enemies flock (follow each other) much more effectively now.
  • Swarm building enemies no longer attack each other
  • Enemies will now respawn if they're caught much outside the hack radius after a hack completes.
  • Information Terminals are accessible again. We at Zorgtel sincerely apologize for the data outage.
  • Mines no longer cause crashes.
  • Missiles no longer cause zombified enemies.
