addedAnyways, Now that the game has a good foundation there are many directions and components that I can improve on. The game will still retain its identity as a top down open-world shooter where the world spawns around the player, however there are many additions that I can add to improve the games quality of life. Although I do want to improve all of these feature, I plan to go to graduate school to get my masters degree so I am limited on time. Below is a list of possibilities of what I can work on:
changedMore biomes
addedAdding more features to the desert biome (Any particular feature please leave a comment. One idea was to add a desert plant, such as an olive tree, that can be cultivated and used to improve the upgrade system)
addedAdding more upgrades
addedAdding more enemy types (such as bosses)

Anyways, Now that the game has a good foundation there are many directions and components that I can improve on. The game will still retain its identity as a top down open-world shooter where the world spawns around the player, however there are many additions that I can add to improve the games quality of life. Although I do want to improve all of these feature, I plan to go to graduate school to get my masters degree so I am limited on time. Below is a list of possibilities of what I can work on:

  1. More biomes

  2. Adding more features to the desert biome (Any particular feature please leave a comment. One idea was to add a desert plant, such as an olive tree, that can be cultivated and used to improve the upgrade system)

  3. Adding more upgrades

  4. Improving enemy AI (improving he evolution AI as well)

  5. Adding more enemy types (such as bosses)

  6. Improving the art

  7. Improving the sound (music and sound effects)

  8. Adding a multiplayer feature (doing this may force the game to be monetized though)

  9. More community events and improving community engagement (such as live streams and AMAs)

  10. Improving the marketing of the game (similar to community but making an Instagram page and posting on Reddit)

  11. Adding a story

  12. Adding a feature that makes the game linear in certain areas (like caves that turn the game into a platformer, where the players collect resources and improve score after beating that section. The base game will remain the same and serve as a hub world for the game. This can be used to add a story by making the game more linear)

  13. Add objectives to the game

  14. Add the game to other languages (This will probably be done in google translate unless anyone wants to help out with this who are fluent in another language)

If any of these features interest you please comment on which one you think I should work on. If none of them do, then please comment on what feature(s) I should add.

Based on some comments I plan to add the following features because I expect them to be easy and quick to implement:

  1. Difficulty (difficulty will add more or less enemies)

  2. Adding this to other platforms like Itch

Anyways thank you guys for your continuing support of the game.
