Content Complete Demo

Hey Barricaders, sorry for the delay with this update. Barricade was entered into FPS fest, and I didn't want to risk introducing new bugs during the festival.

This weeks update contains some polish that has been missing for quite some time. Starting with death effects, up until now when the player or the Vendo-Machine died there was no effect or feedback, just a cut straight to the end screen. I've added some simple death effects to flesh out the experience when you are defeated.

I have also added stats to the end game screens, this has been a long requested feature of the community. The stats screen will display stats for time played, rounds survived, kills, props destroyed, repairing done, and money spent.

Lastly the Sniper Rifle has been made even better. It will now penetrate props and zombies, dealing less damage with each penetration. Still not convinced it's strong enough? Well I was able to beat the entire demo using only the Sniper Rifle!

it's time to enter the final stretch of development. With the game releasing in October this year after next fest I need to wrap up the demo and finish the game. I feel the demo is content complete, and in it's current state can be left alone.

What does this mean? Well, this means the end of regular updates to the demo. There will still be demo updates, but they will mostly be for bug fixes, balance tweaks, and perhaps some new content sprinkled in here and there.

Why am I stopping regular updates to the demo? Well as much as I would love to continue to allow the public to play the most recent version of the game, and continue to get your valuable feedback, I also need to incentivize players to purchase the full game. Unfortunately that means I have to limit the amount of content available in the demo. The full version will have some tweaks to the main mechanics, unlimited rounds, more enemies, more guns, more props, and 3rd level.

I want to test new versions, will you offer closed betas? I will most likely offer closed betas, if you want to stay notified of when I will run one join the Discord

Cheers! -Sockhouse
