Steam Marines is a Squad-Based Tactical Roguelike being developed by Worthless Bums. It features: - 2D retro-styled art and turn based action. - Procedurally Generated Levels. - A squad of combatants fighting for their lives in monster filled levels. - Use your squad to cover defensive positions or funnel enemies into chokepoints to blow them up. Steampunk spaceship under attack by aliens, you say? The aim of the game is to progress through the various decks of your besieged steampunk spaceship in order to repel the alien invaders and get out of dodge. It features permadeath and will have a recruitment system. Build your squad members into deadly, long-range marksmen, or up-close-and-personal death machines. But no one is invincible, and if someone dies you'll have to replace him/her with a raw recruit. If the entire squad dies it's game over.

Steam Marines v0.6.6a is out with a Survivor Recruitment system and bugfixes!

Posted by on

Hello once again, everyone!

This is a Turkey Day build with a Survivor Recruitment system and bugfixes. It is also save game compatible with v0.6.5a and v0.6.5.5a (the two builds prior). The Survivor Recruitment system will not be the only recruitment system, but this is to get some feedback before releasing more complicated, resource-based recruitment.

Survivor Recruitment

New Features
-------------------------------------------------

  • *A survivor recruitment system is in place.
  • Tile destruction data now persists in save file.
  • Mission Objectives now persist in save file.
  • Smashing wall tiles with melee now has a 50% success rate, up from 33%.

-------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-------------------------------------------------

  • Fixed Frozen weapons always showing "-1 AP" on hit even when no action point
    reduction was applied.
  • Elevators no longer power off when a save game is loaded.
  • Multiple save/persistence bugs fixed.
  • Fixed consoles always being corrupted.

-------------------------------------------------
Notes
-------------------------------------------------

  • *Thesurvivor recruitment system is triggered when using the elevator and
    the squad has lost at least one member. A survivor will be generated
    with random stats/gear and the player may choose to accept or reject
    the recruit candidate as desired. Survivor recruits may start
    wounded.

As usual you can download the latest builds on the official website or the official forums. Thanks for reading and happy robot hunting!
