“Would you buy this game if it were available in Steam?”
Hell yeah I would!
Also, “it is written in Scala” huh, I had no idea! (or I forgot)
Thanks!
And yes, its written in Scala. I do love the functional side of that language.
New version 0.3.1 is out now!
Here are the major changes:
- New shield look
- Each new level now progressively increases in size
- Fixed major crash on launch on for linux
- Fixed 360 controller mappings for linux
- Increased the cost of the health upgrade evolution
- Reduced the cost of the other evolutions
- Sound thread attempts to restart in the event of it crashing (just a precaution to make sound more robust)
- Slightly reduced the chance of souls spawning (since larger levels mean more enemies to farm)
- New 360 controls prompt at the start of a new game if a 360 pad is being used
- New stats page (I’ll be sure to expand on this later, please tell me what you would like to see here)
- New controls help in pause menu for user reference
- New infected damage type. Small chance of enemies being infected.
- Reduced the chance of follower eggs spawning
I also did some interviews for some youtubers. Here is one where I talk about my future ideas for Copod and here is one where I talk about game design in general.
In one of the interviews I talked about adding some sort of ending scene to Copod. I gave it a go this week and what I made didn’t fit. I’m far more content with the simple ending that is currently present in the game.
In the next update, I plan on introducing a cross-run progression system where the game increases in variety and complexity as you play it.
Copod v0.3.2 available now!
Here are the latest changes:
- Doubled the ammo for the Baby Tears power[/li]
- New progression system, collect antibodies to unlock more powers and gameplay variety.[/li]
- 4 new powers and 1 new enemy that can be unlocked via the new progression system[/li]
- Greatly improved the text quality[/li]
- Added new icons to stats page[/li]
- Save data now stored in APPDATA folder or your platform equivalent (this means you’ll no longer lose progress between updates)[/li]
- Multiple physics springs can now be applied to entities (this means more than one creature can grab you at a time now)[/li]
- Updated some sfx[/li]
- Reduced the brightness of the red liquid (doesn’t clash with tongues as much now)[/li]
The biggest change has been the introduction of the new progression system. Definitely the feature that took the longest to implement in this update. But now its in I can focus on expanding upon it. Only 5 unlocks are available now, but more are soon to come.
Here is a little preview of the new power “Tongue Twister”. It lets you control a very long tongue with a deadly tip. I was surprised by how much fun it was to use!
You can get the lasted version here or from IndieGameStand.
