Hello and welcome to the 9th development log.
This is a complete new style I'm trying.
Development Progress Update:
I'm pleased to let you know about some of the progress I have made!
1. [Molotov Damage Rework]: I have reworked the Molotov's damage mechanics so now the longer a player stays inside the Molotov, the more damage they take.
2. [Grenade Damage Radius]: I have reduced the radius based on feedback to ensure more balanced gameplay.
3. [Bot Improvements]: Bots have received significant improvements. They are now able to take damage from Grenades and Molotovs and better navigation on City map for better gameplay experience.
4. [Maps]: I have been working on enhancing visual appeal of various maps by improving lighting and textures.
5. [Gun Game]: Now the UI shows the next weapon you are going to get.
6. [Grenade & Molotov Sounds]: Modified how far away/how close you can hear a Grenade explosion and Molotov fire.
Upcoming Features and Content:
Here's a sneak peek at what's to come:
1. [Headshot Sound]: Soon, when players land a headshot, a distinct sound will accompany it, adding to the satisfaction of precise shooting.
2. [Team Selection Screen]: I have decided to completely rework the team selection screen to look way nicer.
3. [Bot Improvements]: To make bots feel more "realistic", they should be able to switch to secondary when no ammo is left or to throw grenade/molotov.
Future Roadmap
Here's a glimpse of what's on the development roadmap:
1. [Playtest 5]: Next major milestone will be Playtest 5, where I'll gather even more feedback and fine-tune the game based on your input.
2. [Proximity Chat?]: This I'm not sure of yet, but I have been thinking about adding Voice Chat to allow players talk to their own teammates.
Player Feedback and Iteration:
I greatly value the feedback I have received from the players. Every suggestion, idea, really anything helps with the development.
