Repeated intro

Hello everyone. I’ve been working like crazy for the last few days to get the new game mode done. The wave mode has been requested by many players and after thinking about how to implement it, I decided to add it to the game. I’ve been making good progress on the new game mode. It’s already complete! Well, sort of. I’ve uploaded two patches, where I was trying to rush to fix a small problem, and in doing so I ended up causing a much bigger one. I’m not planning on making this a pattern, so this time the update will be tested before it will be made public.

changedYou can test the wave mode right now, if you have done two (2) things. You need to buy the game. (Only 9.99 on Steam! Tell all your friends!) and you need to opt into the beta branch on Steam. Don’t worry it’s easy. Here’s how it’s done.

changedGo to your library. - Right click the game and go into ”Properties”. - In properties go into ”Betas” - And change beta participation to ”wavemode”

changedYour game should now be version 1.0.2. The wave mode can be accessed from the main menu. Press the ”Extra missions” button.

changedThe wave mode is in pretty good shape already. It’ll mostly need polish and balancing. I need to figure out an algorithm for escalating the waves and figure out a good balance for the item unlocks.

changedIf you’d like to make some suggestions or talk with other players, you can join the Gearbits Discord server . I’d like to hear your thoughts if you’ve tried the wave mode.
