Okay, the new update for ShooterGame is finally here! There are a lot of changes in this one.
I originally planned on posting an update after I add the boss fight, but it was taking too long and I noticed that I've made a lot of changes since the last version I uploaded, so I decided to upload a new patch now, and to leave the boss fight for later.
Mainly I did a lot of balancing and also the difficulty setting now works again!
Enemy bullets now have different COLORS to make it easier to navigate when there are a lot of enemy types on screen. I am a bit concerned that this might have the opposite effect of the intended. I need feedback on whether the new bullet colors help you or if they just distract and confuse you.
Also I added a new enemy type. This one shoots a laser at you every few seconds. I'm still not sure if he is balanced properly so please say if he's too difficult or too easy.
Changes:
-Health and key pick ups now happen automatically without you having to press E
-Your bullets now move faster
-Balanced the health and movement speed of enemies
-Added new enemy type with a lasergun
-You can no longer pick up the double gun (for now)
-Added more colors to bullets
-Changed the bullet sprite to be smaller and less round (the hitbox is still the same size)
-Some enemies now stop moving while they shoot
-Removed locked doors because they were causing problems that I can't fix until I add the boss (they will return)
-Changed the sprites for doors
-The number of enemies that spawn per room now depends on the difficulty choice in the settings
-Chasers now only spawn in corners of rooms
-Changed the sprite of chasers

Wow, the new colors and tweaks adds a lot to the game! I found myself makes moves based on looking at the shot color and weaving in and out of them to take enemies out. I also think it gives the game a bit more personality and is a great contrast between the white and black characters.
ReplyDeleteI think the big enemies that bounce around have some problems with their interactions with other enemies since if it runs into them, it can cause it to fidget a bit. I would say maybe try to have it ignore other enemies and just bounce off walls? It's not too big a deal just an idea haha Also maybe increase the delay before enemies start shooting when you enter a room? Sometimes I would die as soon as entered the room, especially by those laser enemies xD
Keep up the great work!
