The Road to a Better Game

Posted by JID on July 7, 2011, 3:14 p.m.

Just another quick update, show you what I've been up to since my last blog about my game. Since my last blog, I've made some major improvements.

Gonna get straight to the point:

(Go to 0:41 for the new minigun)

Most of the changes aren't very noticeable in the trailer. I've been working out a lot of small details in the game. Added a new fog effect if you noticed that in the trailer, but there's much more to come in the following months. Which will include a new beta for the game.

Some of the changes:

Better designed maps

More balanced gameplay

Health recharges faster

Weapon Improvements

Better explosions

More interactive environments

More ammo for some weapons

Sexy menues(which I unfortunately forgot to show in the video)

Tweaked Trong gun, shotgun, minigun, and Alien Assaualt Rifle Damage

Player is centered in the view now

Alien Assault Rifle has recoil depends on how fast you shoot

AK90 doesn't shoot when you hold the mouse button, instead you have to tap.

Spawns are 100% perfect

lights can can go out due to explosions

You can now sprint with the minigun

When you switch weapons with the minigun out, you put it down in order to do so.

Grenades are actually useful and have much better physics

Power weapons take a full minute to respawn, while normal weapons take 30 seconds

AI doesn't get stuck anymore

Billions of more improvements that I can't fit into this text box, and they aren't in the video.

(We need the
function back. :<)

If you like to read a lot here's MORE changes that I've made to the game a month ago.

There's actually much more things I've changed/improved in the game than that, but, it's mostly campaign stuff, but I'll save that for another day. It may or may not include mech suits :>

Oh, and thanks to Moikle for the sexy explosions. They actually look much more incredible, in-game. This trailer makes them look different for some reason.

Here's a quick comparison pic between the old and new explosions:

I don't know where the fuck Rambo is. I want better graphics now. :(

Yeah, that's about it.

I've honestly had mech suits in the game for years now(since 2007),

but I haven't shown them yet, and I probably never will until I'm done the game. There's a lot of things that I haven't shown yet, as a matter of fact.

I had my headphones on and I still just shrugged. '~`

Make the mechs have a jump scare attack.

aaaaarg! the explosions are really annoying me now, i have no idea why the smoke doesn't show up for you, and from the video it looks like the fire isn't animating either…

JID 13 years, 4 months ago

I purposely took out the fire for performance purposes, they started lagging the game a lot, since my game has a lot of explosions.

i dont mean that fire, i mean the fireball created by the explosions, i had set each particle to animate, but in the video it looks like they are stuck at the first frame. why did gm8 break all of the particle effects? ;_;
