In this update I just wanted to showcase some of the progress being made on the various menus, hubs, and transitional screens for the game.
Personally I really think it helps block out the story arcs and illustrate to the player where they are in the plot.
Admittedly it also adds a bit of cinematic flair as well, which allows me to flex my illustration skills.
Earlier you may have noticed that some of icons in the save slot had numbers next to them. These numbers indicate the upgrade level for the attribute or weapon.
Attributes are associated with the body of the SHELL, and are per-equipped, with exception to the optional "Knuckle," attribute.
This attribute as already been demonstrated in the previous update where there was a video showing that players can execute a dash punch that does minimal damage, but stuns an enemy.
If this attribute has not been purchased then the player will only be able to dash.
The weapon section allows you to buy new weapons, upgrade them, and equip them for missions.
While money will be necessary to buy the weapon, there will be other requirements that need to be met before you can buy them.
More on this in a future update, but lets just say that the weapons vendor is a bit shady and had peculiar needs.
Well I hope this will hold you over until the next update, but until then see you later!
