I like it.

Added ramps, worked on the lighting a good deal (not shown). Works/looks much better.

Give you a chance to play around with that suspension a little. Might lead to swap-able tire types and sizes. :P

Unfortunately it's a no-can-do, or at least, it's on the backburner for a while.

Getting it rotated to match the floor wasn't too bad, especially because animations let me ease into it.

The issue I was having was with the weapon. The way it's currently set up now is done via pixel offsets and a transform turned to match the angle of the mouse. Getting it to appear properly with a rotated player icon is going to take a decent amount of time and I don't think it's really necessary at the moment. I definitely want to revisit it though as I already have a general idea of how I'll accomplish it. Namely: Rotating it based on the target angle modified by the player's angle, then translating it to where it's suppose to appear on the player, then Turning it again to match the players rotation.

When I initially set it up I was just trying to get it to work without much intention for rotating the player about.

I also had another big issue with the grub enemies that strut around. They had some terrible interactions with ramps at first and it took me about three hours just to get them functioning properly.

Right now, when it comes to features/mechanics, I'm a bit burnt out, but I am working on content.

There's several rooms in the works and I'm working on fleshing out some more enemy ideas.

New room, new enemy (Spore), fixed up some mechanics. Ha to rework the grubs and how the move.

As you can see I'm having issue with the plant-things (I need to name them) and the big icon issue where stuff too far away from the client can't be seen, even though part of them is on-screen.

I also added some blood splatter to various animations, made it so that rocky turfs auto-generate their edges, the turfs here also randomly get some decals to them to boost variability, so little rocks and things like that.

I also have breakable walls/floors coded in, including animations for them. I'll have to record that and post it in another update after I tighten up the animation a bit.

A lot of small things, essentially.

this looks amazing, however it seems like a really easy game. Maybe make those green balls home a bit more aggressively?

heh, just poking some fun at ya. Everything is looking amazing. Don't get yourself burned out.

The SFX for our opening scene. I think it sounds great and I'm very pleased with it.

(The dialogue has since been switched out to not read like a bad anime, btw. The effects have also been polished some.)

Turns out it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected. I just made sure to track the angle and then, instead of using transforms, I made sure to adjust the pixel_x/y of the weapon to match.

I think some of the text was too fast to read and the wording and story seemed pretty generic(but that's probably what you're going for, I'd have to see the new version). Other than that I really do like the amount of effort and attention to detail this game has and how professional it comes off with respect to anything else on this site. Keep up the awesome job, we're all rooting for you all!

Cool! How does it look going up and down? Will he catch a little air? :D

Neat spotlight by the way. If you make your hillsides a fading touch darker from inside out, it might give just a touch of depth. The spotlight has that effect when pointing straight down.
