Nocturnal Survivors v0.5 Update

Nocturnal Survivors v0.5 update will be released on Aug 1. It includes new content as follows.

Gameplay feature

• New map: Alien relics.

• 5 new monsters in the new map.

• New basic weapon: Iron fist. Launch an iron fist to nearby enemies. Hit enemies will be knocked back.

• 7 new combo weapons including 5 rare and 2 epic.

• 3 new artifacts including 1 rare, 1 epic and 1 legendary.

• New weapon will not appear when level-up until all existing weapons have level maximized. Besides, total number of equipped weapons does not depend on player level anymore.

• Maximum level of most weapons are reduced:

  • Superior weapon: 8 -> 7

  • Rare weapon: 10 -> 8

  • Epic weapon: 12 -> 10

• The two changes above make combo weapon much more easier to get. This matches the design purpose on how the game is played.

• Plasma ray emitted from plasma raygun is anchored on position instead of enemy. Range of ray is calculated correctly by upgrade.

• Change key bindings on gamepad:

  • [A] Interact

  • \ Back

  • [X] Dash

  • [Y] Reroll

  • [LB] Mission info

What's Next

Next update (v0.6) will be on Sep 12. To be honest, I haven't made final decision on what 0.6 will be. But I will stop making new map/monster for now.

I may put more focus on UI and progression as we already have 4 maps, 20 monsters, 40+ weapons in EA, the priority should be shifted to how these stuff could be orchestrated to make meaningful progression for players.

But as always, a few more weapons and artifacts can be expected. :D
