THE BIGGEST UPDATE EVER: Part 5 conclusion + more

Hi, everybody!

This is the most significant update this game has ever had. We have spent the last month redesigning many sprites, including many new concepts, and reprogramming many systems in the game.

This is already part of the final polishing of the game, as we plan to bring it to consoles soon.

I have to admit that it already looks like a finished game. We are very happy.

New features include:
• New wildlife NPCs;
• Redrawn wildlife NPCs;
• Awsome idle animations for the protagonists, according to each one's personality. Tell us which one you like the most!
• New extinct vegetation sprites to differentiate the Safari Zones;
• New armors: Hazmat suit C;
• New items: Antifreeze genes; Antiburning genes;
• New achievements;
• New Chronos Secrets;
• New window skins;
• We have a new completely reprogrammed bait system. It now works much more similar to the Poke. series, with several types of baits for your strategies. You can also craft these inside the Maintenance Sheds.

Revised systems:
• Radar system;
• Coordinate / map system;
• Crafting system;
• Bait/taming;
• Quest log;
• Boat fast travel;
• VTOL fast travel;

New system:
• Canoe fast travel system;

New animals:
Spectrovenator;
Kurupi;
Siriusgnathus;
Macrauchenia;

We have new buildings unlocked:

• Research Center.

These are the complexes already unlocked during the Early Access:

• Command Center;
• Radio Tower;
• Hospital;
• Hotel;
• Heliport;
• Airport;
• River Cruise;
• Hydroelectric Power Plant;
• Water Treatment Station;
• Nuclear Power Plant;
• Geothermal Power Plant;
• The Harbor;
• The community;
• Trophy Room;
• Almeida Mansion.
• Research Center.

These are the following complexes I am working on towards the end of the development:

• Underground complex (PART VI);


OF COURSE: I corrected several bugs you sent me in the past weeks! The game is much cleaner now. Please reach out to us if you still find anything weird, ok? We are in the last 2 months of development. Now is the time to make all corrections.

Custom Window skins

Hi!

Some players reported chromophobia from the standard purple cyberpunk colors of the dialog windows in our game. We now added an option in the menu allowing you to change between several window styles to match your taste. They are based on the FF series, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and Undertale.

We also now have special ammo for handguns, shotguns, and rifles that will trigger different vulnerabilities of the animals and robots:

  • Incendiary ammo;
  • Freezing ammo;
  • Electric ammo;


Aline updated several sprites of the game. The enanthiornitine birds, the raptor, and the Tupandactylus now look gorgeous!!!

She is also working very closely with me in the polishing phase. We are getting so close to 90% completion.

We expect to conclude the game before May!

Grenade launcher + graphic improvements

Hi!

We finally have grenades available as loot and at the main shop terminals. There are several types of grenades that will trigger different vulnerabilities of the animals and robots:

  • Explosive grenade;
  • Gas grenade;
  • Flash grenade;
  • Incendiary grenade;
  • Freezing grenade;


You need to equip the grenade launcher to be able to use them.

We also have some new battle animations and sounds.

We have new art for aquatic creature NPCs!

We now have animated terminals as suggested by Bea Hörmanseder!

I improved quite a lot of the graphic interface scripts to start preparing the game for release on consoles.

I just fixed some bugs. Thanks to TioLu for reporting them to me.
