August Development Report
[h2]Greetings streetwise mercenaries![/h2]
Welcome back to another Project Haven update report.
We've been hard at work implementing changes based on your invaluable feedback and we're excited to unveil more updates, including a few that have been eagerly anticipated!
Let's delve into the details of what's in store for you:
[h2]Quality of Life Upgrades[/h2]
Prepare yourselves for a smoother, more immersive journey through the streets of Project Haven with a range of new quality of life improvements:
[h3]Overall UX Improvements[/h3]
We've fine-tuned various elements to make navigation and interaction feel more intuitive. Features like double-clicking to sell or buy items, or having a dedicated key to cancel movement - we believe that these and other small changes will significantly improve the overall experience.
[h3]Interruption smoothness[/h3]
We've changed how interrupts work. No more unintentional toggling of aiming mode. Interrupts no longer toggle automatically with aim mode, requiring you to press the new 'End Interrupt' button. Take full control of your tactics without any accidental mode switches.
[h3]Improved Enemy Ghost[/h3]
Navigating challenges on the battlefield requires insight into your opponents' positions. With the new improved enemy ghost, you'll have a clearer view of his position, stance and direction.
[h3]End Mission Looting Screen[/h3]
The sweet taste of victory gets even sweeter with a fresh addition of one the most requested features. We're introducing an end mission looting screen, where you can revel in the spoils of your conquest and decide which ones to take with you.
This screen is still a work in progress. We are not only planning to add more features to it, but also an extra touch of user-friendliness and visual appeal.
But for now, we hope it serves to make your experience smoother, as you'll finally have the chance to scoop up every bit of loot and decide what to do with it. Want more protection? That guy won't be needing his armor anymore! *Mine!* Needs some extra cash? Swap it for money! It's all about giving you more control over your spoils.
[h2]Balancing[/h2]
If you are one of those who like to dissect every digit and weigh each option meticulously, then update your spreadsheet, because we've tweaking the values!
[h3]Weapon Suppression Balancing[/h3]
We've analyzed the numbers and made adjustments where necessary. Some weapons were packing a bit too much suppression power, and we did a calibration to ensure a more balanced playing field.
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
[h3]Free Look After Movement[/h3]
The key to successful strategy lies in foresight😉. With the addition of a free look action after movement, you can now scout your surroundings after your mercenary's movements, enabling more strategic decision-making and proactive positioning.
[h3]Co-op Mode is Here![/h3]
The fight for survival just got more thrilling! Co-op mode is now available, allowing you to join forces with fellow friends and embark on tactical endeavors together. Collaborate, coordinate, and conquer side by side.
Crafting a seamless cooperative experience brings its own set of complexities. Synchronizing actions between players and the world, create a new UI to cater more than one player, dealing with Steam integration and ensuring the cooperative gameplay is rewarding, balanced, and, most importantly, fun, is no easy task. But we are extremely happy to to be able to bring Co-op Mode to Steam Strategy Fest. It's a testament to our commitment to delivering an unparalleled tactical experience.
As always, your journey through Project Haven continues to shape its evolution. Dive into the action, embrace the updates, and let's conquer this battleground together.
See you on the dark streets!
