I think I'd have to introduce some kind of penalty for civilian death if they're in a level. It would be a neat visual to see cars driving away at the start though.
That's an interesting concept, maybe it could potentially be an organic enemy. I don't know about having it as a regular unit though, it might be a little too overpowered in normal combat.
I'll probably put the demo up on Steam once there's some proper story elements implemented. As for a full release with around 5-6 hours worth of content and supporting material, what would you consider a fair price?
The mines being on such a generous timer seems like it could largely make them a non-issue.
They have a pretty large blast radius, you still need to be cautious of them or you'll take serious damage if they're more spread out.
Maybe once you've used it, your mech is inoperable for a few moments. Like the Death Blossom that leaves the Gunstar and its crew at the mercy of any surviving enemies, or open to a ramming attack
Interesting concept, I'll try it.
Thanks for the updates! It's exciting to see this already great game continuing to evolve.
I don't think it's too important to explain - most of the actual terraforming lore probably won't make it in - but the gravity of Mars would likely increase by at least 20% post-colonization since it would now have seas, a thicker atmosphere, and a higher mass from throwing asteroids at it.
So does everybody just have terrible muscle atrophy
There was probably a lot of mandatory gene modification early on to make sure people develop and retain muscle mass faster. It's at least partially why Ms. Sommers is so strong.
Keep up the great work though, always glad to see new development!
I'm working on tweaking that behavior right now actually. For things like the air strikes and grenades in general I'd like the enemies to actually reverse away and retreat.
The shrapnel weapon is an interesting idea, I might change the scattergun to work closer to that.
If you check out the latest progress report, you'll see a level editor tool is being worked on and it'll be available for players too. You'll be able to import and export level files, so sharing and playing levels made by other people will be possible. As for other modding such as Steam workshop, I'd like to have that too however I will need to look more into it.
