Motordoom News

Since a lot of players found it hard to do tricks whilst aiming and shooting, I added the feature to shoot without aiming. If you press or hold the shoot button you will now shoot straight ahead. If a enemy is in front of you, your character will automatically aim at that enemy. So there is a auto targeting system that targets enemies in front of you automatically. Of course you can still slow down time and aim manually if you want to. This helps targeting enemies you want to focus on like bosses or exploding foes.



Next to that major change here are the other things that have been changed/fixed/:

Additions:

• Shooting without aiming at random target in front of you
  

Changes:

• Character can't go beyond level 50 (no health/damage increase after level 50) in Single Run mode
  
• Less health/damage gain with level up
  
• Healthpotions now heal a fix amount instead of a percentage of the players max health
  
• Manual and grind balance upgrades now also lower difficulty increase over time
  
• More points needed for level up in every difficulty
  
• Points needed for level up increases every 20 levels instead of every 25 levels
  
• You wont get hurt from slams anymore
  
• Lowered health of Santa Character
  
• Lowered prices of addons
  
• Lowered the increase of scrap you get from the more scrap addon
  
• Overall balancing
  

Fixes:

• Enemies don't go through floor anymore
  
• Fixed a bug that caused new cards to not unlock the first time
  
• Minor menu fixes

I'm happy to announce that Motördoom is part of the Steam SHMUP Fest!
You can play the newest iteration of the demo right now.
The game features a lot of new stuff. Some things are completely new since the last update and some were in there before but never properly introduced.
Here's a list of all the new things in Motördoom:

[h2]New and improved "Old Factory" Stage[/h2]
The first stage "Old Factory" was remade from the ground up.
I tried to make the first stage as beginner friendly as possible. It now features a bigger more open space, improved obstacles and longer rails so new players have enough time to do long grinds and get used to the trick system.


[h2]Meta Progression[/h2]
Motördoom now features a Meta Progression System. There is now the ability to spend scrap on different Add-Ons.
Currently there are 3 slots on a bike to put in Add-Ons.

• Front Add-Ons
  
• Back Add-Ons
  
• Motor Add-Ons
  

You can only equip one Add-On per slot so choose your load-out carefully.


[h2]New Enemy[/h2]
I added a new dangerous enemy. Introducing "Acidus Daemonium"! These acid filled Demons will explode if they get close to you. Shoot them from a distance to hurt enemies surrounding it.


[h2]Card Rarity System[/h2]
Cards now have a rarity applied to them. There are 3 rarities as of right now.

• Common
  
• Rare
  
• Legendary
  

With this system the cards can change their rarity after you pick them. So now it's a bit more rare to get all the good items in a row.

[h2]Introduction of Gaps[/h2]
Like in the THPS games from back in the day, doing tricks over gaps will award you with extra points. Motördoom now features gaps as well. I think it's a fun way to hide little Easter Eggs and award players for doing stunts over certain obstacles. Can you find all the gaps?


[h2]Balancing[/h2]
As always with every change there needs to be done a lot of re-balancing. Since the game was too easy in terms of dying the health pool of all player characters has been reduced. This makes the runs more dangerous and through that way more exciting. Wins have to be earned especially on the harder difficulties. Is the game too hard? Try adding some Add-Ons to the bike to help you survive.

[h2]Updated Tutorial[/h2]
The tutorial is finally updated with all the new moves you can do. You'll learn how to wallrides and wallplants, learn about the overdrive system and how to kill monsters stylishly.
Also the tutorial now displays controller as well as keyboard keys. No more guessing which keys to press.
