[h2]Yo[/h2]
Today we'll talk about coins, upgrades, etc.

[h2]Upgrades![/h2]
In the demo and Ep0, like 100% of players said something like:
“Whoa, some kind of coins? Probably for some shop or something.”
But then there was no shop.
Well now there will be! And not just one, but two kinds.
In the release version there will be two types of clips:
[h2]Regular Clips-coins[/h2]
Regular coin-clips will be used for the consumables shop.
Things like refill HP, restock ammo, buy armor, get extra weapons.
For a huge amount you’ll even be able to buy a skill point, but more on that later.
There’ll be plenty of them around, so besides the fun of collecting them like in collectathons, now they’ll also have real value.
[h2]Golden Clips-coins[/h2]
Golden coin-clips will be used for the upgrade tree. You’ll find them in secrets.
Apart from the obvious upgrades like more ammo/HP, improving abilities and weapons, there’ll also be some funny extras.
For example, the MOST “IMPORTANT” upgrade:
In Ep0 I added the ability to carry objects literally at the last moment before release, without really thinking it through. Some players loved it, others found it confusing/annoying: “hey dev you have a HL2 bug here”
At first I wanted to just cut it from the release. But then I thought to make it an optional upgrade.
So for golden clips you’ll be able to buy the ability to carry phys objects. The second level of it lets you jump off them mid-air. Yeah glitchy prop-jump as an upgrade lol. Hopefully that’ll clear up the “is it a bug or what” question.
Overall all these coins and upgrades stuff are meant as extra “something to do” for those who like thing like that. It’s not a grindy mandatory progression system, but more like a way to smooth out the experience, make a comfy build you prefer.Like idk, going all-in on pencil, or coin farming, or something else.
At least, that’s the idea…
