Summer Update #1 is here!

Summer sweet summer!

Oh, hey! How are you? :)

Here we are, for another patch! And this time, a tasty one my friends!

Shall we?


Summertime has hit Not Dead Yet as well, and for a limited period of time, we are replacing that dark, obscure and thrilling map with a shiny new one -- sunshine is here!

Look at it, so lovely...

But for real - nothing has changed mechanically speaking. It's just a new, temporary skin. All the scraps are in the same place, there are no new obstacles, etc - we just thought you'd enjoy a new horizon to look at.


These two nifty, Brazilian skins just joined the family permanently, so... say "olá"! :-D




This was a tough one, people. Our old weapons system was the very first system we built and it was more like a game jam solution rather than a proper, scalable thing. It was time to say goodbye.

After more than 3 weeks full-time working on a new system from scratch (and making sure we weren't breaking anything), we got some really nice results. Allow me to give you a glimpse of what changed, shall I?

1. We are now free to create perks/interactions with individual weapons or any weapon category (i.e. shotguns, pistols, SMGs, etc.). Although nothing new has arrived with v0.13.0, expect to see more weapon-specific mechanics soon;
   
2. We can now introduce more unique weapons, with their own mechanics (such as flamethrowers, grenade launchers, laser weapons (why not?), etc.). Once again - these things have not arrived with this patch neither are they promises, but hey... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
   
3. We improved multiplayer shooting by A LOT. Yes -- that old stutter while shooting is not among us anymore. I dare to say shooting in multiplayer is as smooth as in any Triple-A game, hehe. :P (And please, I'm really talking about shooting. The other multiplayer areas still require some polish.)
   
4. We removed useless weapons;
   
5. And my favorite one: we animated all the weapons we have! I mean, we've reworked the old shooting animations, added proper reloading animations, improved particles, VFX and SFX, and geez, it's now so much better! Just to give you some sugar:
   

And this is just the beginning. ;)
