Hey, made some changes to the demo!

v.10009
-Made lazer attacks more readable.
-Some visual changes to the Player UI. Should be more intuitive to understand how your health works.
-Removed Player i-frames. Feels odd to dodge through attacks.
Example with Nightdrifter tentacle attack; you could just dodge right through it without taking damage.
This change is on trial, let me know if it is a good change or not.
-Adjusted spawn amount + respawn time on Tumor Islands.
-Adjusted world colors.
-Adjusted sounds and music for some creatures.

Cheers everyone for playing and for providing your awesome feedback, I read them all.
-André

Hey!
In case you missed it, the demo went live 3 weeks ago. Here's the trailer:

Post-release, the demo has been played by 1500 people, and registered on 5000 accounts!
Thank you everyone for playing and providing your awesome feedback. You help make the game as cool as it can be.
It's soon been 2 years since I started this project, so getting to this point is sick.

But man, I must say, I wish I waited like 2 weeks with launching it!
Steam recently launched a big update which give devs way more tools for their demo page.
Quite bad timing. :P

Made some changes to the demo:
-Reduced total of eyes on Nightdrifter from 6, to 4.
First phase takes a bit too long, and is not that fun when you gotta do it over again if you die later in the fight.
-Nerfed damage on the Lazer enemy from 50% to 33%. Should give player more time to learn it's mechanics.
-Made it more clear you gotta destroy the remaining Tumor Islands after reaching 100% progress.

-Disabled controller support for now.
It's a bit unstable / not optimized. Players risk stumbling into game breaking bugs atm.
For now I'll just focus on mouse & keyboard to make development more smooth, and add controller back in at a later point in production.


Thanks again for playing everyone, this has been an awesome milestone to reach!
Can never be enough testers though, so spread the word about the game, help reach out to more!

And if you haven't played yet, then wow...
Go play, or else...

... Yh...


Until next time,
André
