Version 1.1 is UP!

Drill Bot Descent
A browser game made in HTML5

Version 1.1 of Drillbot Descent is up!

Name change is pending, as soon as new title graphics are made. This represents the first time we've taken a jam project and created a substantial post-jam version. A LOT of things were changed and fixed under the hood, which should allow for better work in the future. Changes include (but not limited to):

  • Items
  • Projectile and explosion system
  • Basic minimap implementation
  • Improved autotiling and terrain system
  • Complete overhaul of tile management system
  • Graphical fixes and improvements
  • Redone action/instructions view system
  • New 3-piece soundtrack
  • Bug fixes
  • Optimisations

Admittedly, this took a lot longer than originally planned, since there was a lot that needed to be pulled out and refactored, and a lot of bugs were encountered along the way. And we wanted to do everything properly to set up a solid base for the future.

Next step will likely be to release a v1.2 with minor functional improvements, a new project name, and general balance, QoL work. Unsure how fast future project momentum will be, but here's hoping.
