• Empty weapons are now marked red in the inventory
• Added death animation for the first boss
• The demo no longer ends abruptly after killing the first boss

Now we have coins and no more packages because i like many things on screen :D Demo Patch Notes:

• Changed how trash drops – it is now coins that drop with every single mutant hit
• Added a health bar that fits the environment of the fire
• Added a "warning" when your fire is under attack
• Fixed some minor performance bugs
• Added more blood 

And we have a Roadmap with things until Early Access

WIP: Weapon HUD Overhaul 🔧🔫
Currently giving the weapon HUD a full makeover – more info, better layout, new weapon slot order, and eventually it'll also be used for weapon modding. Big upgrade incoming! 💪

Here’s how it’s looking so far – not final yet, but getting there.



Once this is done, regular updates will be back on track. Overhauling a core system like this isn’t exactly a quick coffee break task ☕💥

Thanks for your patience – it’s gonna be worth it! 😎

Hey Indiegates,


I’m a composer working with OpenMPT and the ScreamTracker (.s3m) format, and I’d love to collaborate with indie developers looking for authentic semi-realistic sounds.

I recently looked at your prototype, and I was wondering if you wish to have a musical soundtrack in it I’m offering to create a free demo track for your prototype — especially if your project has a pixel/retro vibe. Tracks are lightweight, loop-ready, and easy to integrate.

🔊 Examples of what I can do:

• Synthpop

• Horror Orchestra

• Regular Orchestra

• Techno

• Drum and Bass

• Industrial Techno

• Menu jingles

• Atmospheric tracks

If you’re interested, drop a link to your project or DM me, and I’ll send over a custom demo track so you can hear how it fits your game.

Cheers,
Esamuel19

Finally, it’s done: the much‑improved weapon menu! :D I hope you like it. There will change much more things. But at first i need to added content ;) So stay tuned .

• Weapon Menu Overhaul: The weapon menu has been completely reworked. It now opens from bottom to top when pressing the tag button.
• Weapon Slot Switching: You can now switch weapon slots directly in the weapon menu using Q and E.
• Weapon Modification Access: Weapon modifications are now always accessible from within the weapon menu, regardless of slot.
• Visual Update: Sun Rays Added simple sun rays to the map to enhance visual atmosphere. These are a placeholder and may be replaced with a more advanced version in a future update.
