Dark Prospect News

Hello everyone,

I just released the first update for this year: 0.9.8, which includes a requested feature, FPS auto-reload.
Personally, I like to press reload manually, but since the auto-reload can be interrupted any time, it shouldn't have any downsides.
I also increased the progress points that RTS can earn, as they were far behind what FPS can earn per game. Also, some RTS spells have been improved.

Features:

• FPS - Added auto-reload
  
• FPSAI - Improve pathfinding on Fortress map
  
  
• RTS - Spells and upgrades now give more progression points
  
• RTS - Improved spells (stronger heal, no damage to units by gas)
  
• RTSAI - Can cast earthquake
  

Bug fixes:

• FPS - Fixed: clang sound on mars scrab
  
• FPS - Fixed: shotgun model on medium looking bad
  
• FPS - Fixed: med pickup sound always hearable
  
• FPS - Fixed: workbench prebuild takes too much building space
  
• FPS - Fixed: Unconscious + moving = not falling completely
  
• FPS - Fixed: multiple revive and instand kill -> leads to no hitbox
  
  
• General - Fixed: Fixed: Lobby - presets not synced
  
• General - Fixed: hairs visible after dissolve of units
  
• General - Increased building parts explosion
  
  
• RTSAI - Fixed: Does not cast spells if all upgrade are done
  

Two more updates and we exactly hit 1.0 :-)

Hello everyone,

I just released the last update for this year: 0.9.7 which adds a waypoint system for the RTS AI.
This is important because the AI always takes the shortest route, which is not always the best choice.
So now it can use the tunnel in the Fortress map, as well as different routes on Mars and Crossroads, making it even more fun to play against RTS AI.

Features:

• General - Added RTS-AI Waypoints.
• FPS - Axe clang for not collectable ressources.
  
• FPS - Add axe woosh sound.
  
• RTS - Made waypoints more visible.
  
• RTS - Added in-game tutorial for RTS.
  

What's coming next year?
Dark Prospect will leave Early Access in the first quarter of 2023.
Therefore, I have planned 3 updates until 1.0, which will mainly focus on improvements and bug fixes.
With 1.0 development will not stop, but the game will be in a good state to present it to many more people.
