Repeated intro
Hey everyone, I'd like to announce the changes I'm working on for WastePunk. Since pretty much everyone found the gameplay lackluster and not very engaging, I'm working on some major gameplay changes.
What changed
- Gameplay
From some distance I could probably imagine a game that you would like this to be, maybe sort of large scale game like fallout 4 - although that obviously isn't possible as I'm just 1 person working on it.
I'm keeping the elements that based on feedback I think you enjoyed the most; which was arcade style combat - the shooter part of the game.
The major changes will be moving to a sort of arena/extraction/roguelite gameplay which is turning out to be pretty fun.
I am also changing the visual style to be more of a dark/retro post apo - as well as changing the main character. There will also be some major changes to the marketing material.
To be completely transparent only about 100 people bought the game and even the people that sent positive reviews seem pretty on the edge - so that's why im making some drastic changes. Continuing on the original path just didnt make much sense.
Really appreciate the support though and hope you'll like the new gameplay.
