Today's Build

Audio pass on death sounds and some of the music.
More fixes for Combinator errors.
Enemy grenades no longer occasionally move twice per turn.

Here's what's coming up next.

Phase 1

Critical bug fixes (some of which went out today) Save and Load working. Not sure if this is going to be one of those F5-F9 games, but at minimum you'll be able to save at the start of a level, and save+quit to go do boring real life things.

Target: 1 October -- next Tuesday!

Phase Sooner

Iterate on new ways to play the game, but with the same content.

New commando actions * Dodge roll, has a cooldown, allows you to move two spaces and ignore damage during the move. * Commando Knife, no-action short range throw attack, or a melee attack maybe - Maybe. Maaaybe. This isn't really a melee game and there's no stealth yet. * New weapon choices * Bigass machine gun: Longest range, good damage. * Shotgun: Shorter range, higher damage. * Pistola / Uzi: Medium range, least damage, turning is free.'

Target: Late 2024

Phase Later

New content! * New crafted areas * Similar to missions 1-6, but different. * Some existing missions may get extended (like Sewer) * New enemies * Bosses that can placed in areas. * New mooks too. * Procedural Content?!? * Do people want this? Do they want it more than crafted areas? Target: Early 2025

Phase Latest

Ideas that are the most flexible and amorphous. * Skill trees for the Commando * Wide variety here, but lots of new work required.

Level Editor!? * Do people want this? Do enough people want this?

Target: Before Launch
