Hunt of the Reptorians changes
Hi again,
Hope you are well. Behold the updated visuals in the combat screen!
This is by no means the final update to the visuals. But I think itās a nice improvement. I hope you agree.
Added lighting within the ship rooms
I think this gives a nice moody feeling to the rooms.
Cooler damage effects and damaged rooms
Weāve added smouldering effects, new trails and explosions to the projectiles and more shrapnel coming from the ship after impacts.
Weāve also added some art for when rooms are damaged. Iām almost starting to feel sorry for the poor Reptorians!
Simplified the UI
Iāve cut down the amount of UI so that thereās more room to show the action. Still lots of work to do on the UI but I think this cleaner approach is working in general. Let me know if you agree!
Steam Strategy Fest and new trailer
Hunt of the Reptorians will be in the Steam Strategy Fest starting 28 August 2023. It will be in the āComing Soonā section as there is no demo available yet. For the festival, I have created an updated trailer, which shows off the new features and updated visuals.
Other thingsā¦
Iāve also added some more things that you might have spotted in the screenshots. Iāll discuss those in a later dev diary!
YouTube mini dev logs
Iām continuing to do mini dev logs on YouTube. Please subscribe if you want to get bite sized mini updates.
Thatās all for this one. I look forward to giving you another update soon. Take care until then.
