Terrordrome - Reign of the Legends News

Update to the Team.

During the month some of the team had to step back from the project due to life events.
September has been a struggling month for some of us and we apologise for the inconvenience on certain parts of development like announcements and trailers.

Spring Heeled Jack.



We have been working with our marketing partners to help release Spring Heeled Jack in a way that benefits the milestone achievement of his release.
There is no release date at this time, but stay tuned as we hope everyone will be able to enjoy the release as it comes.

New blood!





During September we've updated all our blood effects to make things really splatter.
These new visuals improves the blood effects, big gashes of blood exits the opponent and now splats onto the ground below before it slowly dissipates away.
These new blood effects will come with the Spring Heeled Jack update.

Spectator mode.

Our Coder Brad has developed an online mode to be able to spectate matches between other players.
This is a key feature for tournament organisers and online events and the mode will be available along with Spring Heeled Jack's release.

Other in development characters.



Similar progress is being made from the last months update with Invisible Man being integrated into the games engine as well as two of the secret characters in the animation phase which is almost complete, once finished the final character will enter the animation phase.

Despite the difficult month for some of us we thank you all for the continued support and appreciate all the comments and criticisms made as we listen and improve the game to create fun times for all of our players and we will continue to do so.
Thank you.

[h2]This past month, the team had to delay our next major update for a short while due to a major bug discovery. Thankfully, we can say our next major update release very soon!! Here's the details![/h2]

[h2]Coding[/h2]

[h3]Major Bug Fix[/h3]

We was able to fix a major bug in the game that involved causing the frame rate to drop when pressing inputs. So be sure to look out for our next update and try it out if you previously had poor frame rate. Since this is now fixed, we are now cleared to move forward with our plans for the next update! We are always looking out for any bugs, so please feel free to submit any findings to the discussion thread or our discord server.

Of course, there is also work going towards connection stability for online play and memory leaks. We are still investigating other issues in game at this time.

[h2]Characters[/h2]

[h3]The Invisible Man[/h3]



With Spring Heeled Jack ready to launch, we have finally begun implementing the Invisible Man into the game. We have started with basic attacks and reactions for The Invisible Man. He currently has a few special moves implemented as well. There is still a lot of work to be done here, but we can say that this character is performing very smoothly in game. Here are some previews of him in engine!

In our next development update, we will explore more of the Invisible Man's powers and gameplay. We believe that this fighter will be a trickster, capable of some deadly mix-up potential both visible and invisible.

[h3]Final Three Fighters[/h3]

As of writing, we have began implementing the first of the final three fighters. Fighter #1 currently has basic reactions ready. Animations for the first two fighters are complete. Fighter #3 will begin to receive animations soon. We still are not ready to reveal these fighters just yet. These bonus fighters have evolved in concepts the most throughout this development process. We are excited to include them to the roster, and we believe they will be great additions to the game.

[h3]October Vlog[/h3]

Our next development update will be in the form of a Vlog entry to our series of development vlogs! We have some more exciting details to share, most of which consist of Invisible Man details, some teases, and more!

We are working hard to bring you a better game each day. We're excited to be nearing the end of our roster, as it gives us more time to focus on improving other aspects of the game before launching next year. It has been quite the journey, and we still have a long path ahead of us. Thank you all for supporting us and continuing this journey with us.

[h2]Coding[/h2]

[h3]Major Bug Fix[/h3]

Initially, we had planned to release the Spring Heeled Jack update August 22nd until we discovered a major game breaking bug. Since then, our lead programmer Brad had been hard at work to overcome the bug. We are happy to say Brad's work has proven fruitful and this issue no longer persists in the game. As a result, we are now cleared to move forward with our plans for the next update! We are always looking out for any bugs, so please feel free to submit any findings to the discussion thread or our discord server.

Of course, there is also work going towards connection stability for online play and memory usage. We are still investigating other issues in game at this time.

[h2]Characters[/h2]

[h3]Spring Heeled Jack[/h3]

Spring Heeled Jack is ready to launch into the Terrordrome! You can expect to get your hands on this character Thursday, September 7th, 2023!
