Challenge Creator coming soon!

[p]Hey squad,[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for all the feedback and comments regarding our next steps. After going through it all, we would like to take a moment to update you on what we've decided to focus on in the short-term.[/p][p][/p][p]We'll be taking a look at the RNG and trying out a few things to improve fairness, card distribution etc. This may end up being an ongoing thing where we rollout changes over time to assess their effectiveness and gather more feedback. There's been some interesting ideas regarding RNG and upgrade cards that we'll be exploring. However, the core game will still remain a more grounded shooter, with stat-based upgrades and meta-progression that are balanced to maintain the challenge.[/p][p][/p][p]Having said that, we want to give you the tools to be able to play the game the way you want to play it, so...[/p][p][/p][p]Challenge Creator will be our first big update! This will be a brand new system that will let you customize almost every aspect of the game. People who played the Next Fest demo will remember the horde health and size sliders - this will go way beyond those. We plan to expose a lot of the game's systems to allow you to create all sorts of challenges and setups, where you'll be able to control things such as:[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Horde spawning.[/p]
  • [p]Enemy properties, e.g. health and speed.[/p]
  • [p]The starting player stats.[/p]
  • [p]The selection of weapons available to players, including modifying their stats.[/p]
  • [p]How many supply crates players should get - or disable them entirely.[/p]
  • [p]What upgrade cards are available and their values.[/p]
  • [p]Length of the game.[/p]
  • [p]Med pack spawning and heal amount.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Whether you want to become crazy OP and mow down the horde, or create a fiendishly difficult challenge - the Challenge Creator will allow you to do just that. We're also planning to integrate it with Steam Workshop so you can easily share challenges for others to play.[/p][p][/p][p]We're aiming to release the Challenge Creator in early December.[/p][p][/p][p]Martin & João[/p][p]Bellyflop Games[/p]
