New gameplay update for Aerial Destruction

December 6, 2018

After a quite long break with the development of the game, an update has been released for Aerial Destruction which improves the gameplay experience, add new features and fixes some bugs.

What was added is the ability to enable or disable the helicopter sensor which displays red squares over enemy units as much as green squares over allied units.

While this sensor is helpful to have a clear view over all units on the map when flying at high attitude, it may sometimes hurt the immersion of the game by giving the feeling of shooting over colored squares instead of troops and vehicles.

For this reason, you can now enable or disable the sensor depending of your preferences !

What was also done is the ability to turn on or off the in-game musics, wherever you want to listen to your own musics instead while playing, or if you simply want to play without musics.

Works were also done on the enemy units to improve their animations and to make them holding their machines guns and rocket launchers the right way.

The ragdoll physics were also improved in a way that it gives a better feeling of bullet impacts when firing at them from your helicopter’s machine gun.

Finally, the menu was improved with a dynamic scene of the game used as the menu background.

So that’s pretty much all, thank you for reading !

Graphics and gameplay update for Cyborg Arena

November 18, 2018

About a year after its release, the game has received an update improving the graphics, gameplay and the overall ambient through the game ! By using the feedback acquired since the Early Access.

The main change is the game being made much more brighter with less darkness and post process lens, so it is easier to play and distinct the elements of the game.

Introduction cinematics were added to give a better ambient when starting the adventure map, with a deep and sharp-eyed ambient music to begin with.

About the gameplay, more buggys, medkits, barricades and ammo crates were added on the adventure map to avoid the frustration of missing them when fighting the cyborgs.

Works were also done to re-market the game, with a brand new trailer, screenshots, icon and store page.

  • Added introduction cinematic.
  • Improvements for the graphics with better brightness and lightness.
  • Improvements of the game with new musics, menu and interactive background.

Gameplay and content update for Action Alien

March 27, 2018

An update has been released for Action Alien almost 3 years after its release. This update consists in improvements, tweaks for the gameplay and new features being added to the game.

The main feature added is the cinematic made for each map which improves the immersion and narrative dimension of the game by giving overviews of the incoming action with short introduction sequences.

A lot of optimisation was also done for the aliens and other 3D models to improve the in-game frame-rate, especially for the tropical map where the tropical foliage and the bungalows had their geometry optimized with more level of details.

About the changes made for the gameplay, these have in mind to make the game easier and more intuitive to play. Things such as cross-hair being added to the pistol and the sten to give a better aiming, grenades faster to throw, there is now also unlimited sprint to make it possible to flee the aliens or to collect items faster.

The hunting rifle is still firing at the same rate but is now inflicting much more damages to the aliens. Grabbing heavy items won’t slow you down as much as before to remove the annoying feeling of being very slow when collecting them.

A fix has also been done for the arena maps for an issue where too many aliens would spawn at the end, as this was often creating lags spikes and make impossible to play for longer.

To sum it, here is the change list :

  • Cinematic added to the wasteland map
  • Cinematic added to the tropical hotel map
  • Cinematic added to the petrol station map
  • Grenades faster to throw
  • Less slowing down when carrying items
  • No more sprint limit
  • Optimisations for the tropical foliage
  • Optimisations for the destructible bungalows
  • Hunting rifle is now inflicting more damages
  • Less colored aliens
  • Changed metal impact sound to a less harsh one
  • Fixed over spawning of aliens in arena maps
  • Some minor fixes…

Additionally, support for Mac OS X may be available soon !

Cheers,
Devdan
