Hello everybody,
Another test session last week showed that it was becoming increasingly difficult for the RTS player to defeat the FPS player. A well-coordinated team could easily build a strong defense and was no longer defeatable.
So we had to think of a way to lure the FPS players out of their base. The result is generators that charge the pulse cannon. These generators are distributed on the map and can be destroyed by the RTS player. Any damage to the generators increases the charging time of the pulse cannon. Therefore, the FPS players have to repair the generators, which gives the RTS player the opportunity to ambush.
In addition, the stationary machine gun of the FPS players must now be reloaded and the slime of the RTS artillery now also damages all gadgets of the FPS players.
With these changes, we hope to make the game fairer and more exciting.
A small compilation of the test session on the night map:
