Boosting the visuals

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

I have been going over the whole hub world and all main levels to visually improve them, its been loads of work but I think it looks feels much nicer now.

in the hub world you can find lost parts which you can use to upgrade your main weapon, repair Zip-Lines to get around the world faster and some other stuff.
you will also come across Bowler Outposts which will often have region maps for your Steam-Dex!
there are rail-ports which once liberated from bowler control can be used to fast travel around the realm.
there are also lots of NPCs and little secrets peppered all around.



World regions :
Steamopolis
Western Plains
Easter Plains
Lower Jungles
The Waterfall
Burnlands
Horror Hollow
Uplands
Roughrider Ridge
The Grand Embankment
Galvanic Elevation
Tumble Town Junction
Green Wood Gulch

I have also been adding changes based on peoples feedback after playing the demo.
voices will be able to be turned off, I will also be getting voice acting done for some of the lines.
I will still have to do some myself and change the tone via AI cause I am too poor to hire actors for the whole thing lol. but hopefully it will add a campy charm like in those classic mega man X cut scenes

The main weapon will start with a faster fire speed and bullet speed so it feels nicer right out the gate.

I made the Dash last slightly longer and you can now jump up as you dash like in Mega Man X

working on adding an option in the menu to switch controls right to Mega Man-ish style.

I am also considering going into early access so I can really fine tune things as a smaller number of people try it and start exploring, love to know other peoples thoughts on that.
Thanks everyone for playing and giving feedback!

I will be trying to update the demo with all the new stuff soon as well.

Have a awesome day
