[h2]CELL COMMAND DEMO IS LIVE![/h2]check it out (trailer is done too)


[h3]taking a few weeks off from dev finally (been busy making Cell Command and I haven't had a day off since November 20 2024), but was able to get some Genome Guardian update stuff done. Still have other stuff planned.[/h3]

[h3]ːguardianturretː TURRET TRIAL MODIFIERS[/h3]

• Bearclaw: Range +50% → +100%
  
• Viper: Health Max -50% → Power-up Duration +100%
  

[h3]🔄 CHANGES[/h3]

• Each Abyss health checkpoint now clears all currently-active projectiles.
• During the intro, it's now impossible to be confused by the need to open a slot first before adding a DNA letter to it.
  
• Many references to "Health +[value]" have been changed to "heal [value] Health" since new players kept confusing it with Health Max.
  

[h3]🔨 FIXES[/h3]

• (perk) Antifreeze: No longer prevents the Fume turret from firing when it's ran out of Gas.
  
• An intro shop tip would show "" instead of the Heat icon.
  
• Various hitscan projectile hitboxes weren't as long as they appeared (so their hitboxes were lengthened).
  
• The "feeling sick?" intro popup would sometimes linger on-screen after exiting a run.
  
• Daily Dive could set your depth in a mode to 5 outside of Daily Dive even if you haven't unlocked that depth yet.
  
• Correct a couple outdated SETUP tips.
  

I do still have update plans for Genome Guardian.

Just been 100% focused on Cell Command for a while now - grinding to have a playable public demo ready for 24 Feb Steam Next Fest, which I guess I haven't publicly stated until now.

I am going to be meeting that demo deadline and things are shaping up so well.

But yeah, do still have GG stuff in the works. Just, y'know, hope everyone's been patient - I literally don't take days off. I will for a bit when Cell Command demo is live but a GG update will come shortly after.

Can show some more stuff though for CC:



And it's definitely like, a TOTALLY DIFFERENT GENRE but at the same time kind of like a sequel to Genome Guardian (and by no means whatsoever replaces a future Genome Guardian sequel which is more or less guaranteed at this point), but in CC you're still making things by combining DNA, there's "Commanders" instead of "Turrets", a checklist of unlocks, fighting the Abyss...

So, yeah, wishlist it, do the things, etc. love you all

I'm sure Nova Drift needs no introduction. In fact, you probably already own it due to your amazing taste. Regardless - If you like one of these games, you're bound to love the other!



[h2]Cell Command Progress Update[/h2]
Making great headway - Steam Next Fest Demo coming 24 February! Lots has been done but still lots to do, etc etc etc. Anyways though, have some random development screenshots:

[h3]Don't forget to check out (and wishlist if interested) Cell Command![/h3]

[h3]🔄 CHANGES[/h3]

• Added thing for Cell Command to main menu.
  

[h3]🔨 FIXES[/h3]

• (turret) Jester: For some reason, it became really blurry using Jester with High Quality on in SETTINGS.
  
• Fixed some silly typos.
  
• Daily Dive day # was wrong for a few weeks - accurate now.
  

Cell Command is a turn-based tactics roguelite with a twist that exists in the Genome Guardian universe, borrowing many of its mechanics (including combining DNA to create new units).

Check out the Cell Command Steam page for details.

• Unit health = length, moving makes you longer, attacks chop squares off a unit's tail
  
• 225 different maps (in a variety of different match types)
  
• Mid-run saves
  
• Perks, mods, mutations, research, depths...
  
• 60+ music tracks
  

NOTE: Development of Genome Guardian is NOT over + I still plan on making a direct sequel to Genome Guardian eventually.
