Hello again,
Derelict is almost done! However, that doesnt mean we have slowed down production. Here are some new developments. Its hot and sunny, summer is almost here, sitting indoors is getting harder and harder to do. i will need to bring out the air conditioner soon.
Our writer has written this blurb for us, to give in detail what exactly is being worked on, and what is still in progress.
Attachment follows:
Friendly Fire!
In the narrow, claustrophobic corridors in Derelict, even leaning to one side can put a soldier in danger.
Therefore, be careful when moving soldiers while bugs are around! Friendly fire has been implemented
into the game, though your soldiers aren’t so stupid as to shoot each other in the back, having a guy
step to one side while the heavy with the minigun is blazing away will result in some meat
headed the Dross’ way.
IFF? What IFF?
The Owl-type Sentry turrets in the latest shipment of supplies has some friendly fire issues. They’re
unable to distinguish friend from foe, and, well, that’s not so good. Thankfully, their arc of fire is pretty
narrow, so just stay out of their sights until their magazines run dry.
Stop. Shootin’ time.
Soldiers don’t like it when they get shot. So now they stop to look at what shot them – be it Dross or
taking fire from an auto turret.
GRENADE OUT!
Small, narrow corridors. Enclosed rooms. Hmm, that certainly sounds like a perfect place to post
grenades, doesn’t it? Well, guess what, soldiers, we’ve got more frag grenades, all rated for use inside
ships; they’ll penetrate Dross carapaces but these guys won’t punch holes in the hull. Because, y’know,
we’re in space.
Big red thing, five rounds rapid!
Scanners have picked up some really big biosigns, boys ‘n girls. Be on the lookout for something big and
scary. Then again, you’re all professional mercenaries. You know what to do: shoot it in the everything.
Santa’s real, and he brought toys!
New gear is arriving, with the promise of more, thanks to the seriousness of the situation. We’ve also
got 3D fabricators and licenses for producing more, so we shouldn’t worry about running out, yet. Use
them to augment your guns and armor to increase the effectiveness of your troops.
DOOR STUCK DOOR STUCK
With the decaying conditions onboard, some of the boys have been finding that some doors might get
stuck during. Be careful how you move around the area of operations, guys n girls.
All in all, progress is good, and we will continue getting everything finished. We hope it will be done soon!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I will keep all of you updated as soon as possible.
