HUGE Quality of Life Improvements

Hey Barricaders, it's time I implemented some improvements to make your experience a lot smoother. My favorite additions are a nail indicator, which shows you when you can place a nail, and a low ammo indicator. Both of these really made my life easier while play testing, so I'm certain they will be well received.

A lot of these ideas came from player feedback, I always enjoy listening to what the community has to say. If you want to contribute, make sure you join the Discord

Next Week

It's time I got to work on a second level, and we need more guns! So I will be doing a lot of modeling and texturing. The game is in a really good spot right now, and I really need the communities feedback on what can be improved / fixed next. Until then, I'll be busy adding new content to keep the game fresh and challenging.

Cheers! -Sockhouse
