With this update, we now have most of the system level stuff ready. Now we can focus on developing the kick-ass ending to the game. In this update

All of the audio has been remade on a different toolset, for a more immersive experience. The economy, shops, and player stats received an major upgrade into new gameplay systems.

GAMEPLAY:

  • Upgrades are based on Rings you can equip

  • Spendable items (snacks, grenades, etc)

  • Two new enemy types

  • Enemies carry shields (easier to read which side blocks your punches, this can be toggled off from the options)

  • Existing levels have new twists, tweaks, and polish

  • Added the start of the next area (beach, you will get there in the Next Update)

  • Created audio broadcasts for more narrative depth, and edited a lot of the dialogue.

  • Rewrote the save system, now it's more reliable and, for the players, easier to look at (straightforward json files)

AUDIO:

  • Complete overhaul using FMOD, for more intricate details and depth

  • Player grunt and emote sounds (can be toggled off from the options)

OPTIONS:

  • Key bindings

  • Screen shake toggle

  • Screen zoom effect toggle

  • Toggle enemy shield visuals

  • Toggle character voice

  • And as per a request, a untested 4k resolution. (it is glitchy, based on our quick tries. Will be fixed in future updates.)

Keep on punching!
