Space Grunts News

Hey guys,

Besides releasing Space Grunts and updating it, I've also been working on Heroes of Loot 2, and I could use your help getting it onto Steam.

So if you have a few seconds, please give it a vote on Greenlight :

thanks!

Just a quick fix as I'm trying to make sure the recycle device starts behaving and not messing things up !

interface:

• fix: crash on character select screen
  
• fix: removed “beta” from titlebar
  

game:

• fix: recycle device wasn’t (always) solid
  
• fix: bug with recycle device sometimes blocking the path
  

Welcome to the new players :) hope you enjoy the game and join the forums if you have idea's or questions (cause there are a lot of mysterious things in the game)


Just a quick update here:

interface:

• fix: input settings not saving correctly
  

game:

• fix: attempt to fix the NPC spawning in-front of a door / blocking hallways
  
• fix: skitter does less damage in direct-hit situation
  
• fix: changes to the camera code, now gives more space vertically in trade of slightly more movement
  
• fix: better placement of item-recycle-devices
  

Space Grunts is Now Available on Steam!

The year 2476, Earth's space-federation has been building moon-bases across the galaxy. One of those moon-bases has been sending a distress signal. Space Grunts are a group of intergalactic "problem" solvers, sent to investigate..

I can't help but keep updating the game, even tho I'm releasing the game officially on Tuesday (leaving early access) I do plan to push some more updates like this one!

Many people complained about sometimes running out of ammo in later levels.. and a few people actually came with a great solution! Which I also liked so here it is, "the recycler"! These devices are randomly found around the moon-base, and you can recycle your items in return for an ammo-pack. The ammo you get is a bit randomized, but you always get at least 4 of every ammo type.

I might change it in future updates so that some items give more ammo or ammo of a specific type, but for now this is a nice solution to the ammo vs item problem ;)

There are also some fixes pushed in this update, and as always let me know if I accidentally broke other stuff ;)

interface:

• fix: small issues with the mouse-cursor
  

game:

• fix: removed cabinets from ancient and cave worlds
  
• fix: improved looks on the interaction arrow (exit,cpu,etc)
  
• fix: turned down the amount of red-blinking when taking big damage
  
• fix: improved strength on tech-mine, and delay before it explodes
  
• fix: improved detectors (more accurate, less annoying)
  
• added: Ammo recycle dispensers - recycle your items for ammo
