Offline version is making good progress, it should be ready for alpha stage soon, with a “one map” demo version.
As I don’t have enough time to work on both online & offline versions, and as offline version is easier for me (no multiplayer interactions), I’ve decided to :
- Change online version to closed alpha-stage, and pauses its development for some time
- Work fully on the offline/downloadable version
- Publish soon a demo version of downloadable version
- And publish soon a downloadable version at low price (as its an alpha version)
The downloadable alpha version will include :
- Full episode 1
- 5 weapons : pistol, shotgun, laser gun, missile launcher, uzi
- 2 difficulty modes : normal & difficult (unlockable)
- 8 monsters
- 13 levels
- Around 4 hours gameplay
- And most of the features of the online version, but made easier : leveling, weapons upgrade, mines,…
- And of course, all updates to episode 1 will be available
- A discount on episode 2 (when its out) will be applied for those who bought the alpha version
As the online version will need hundreds of players to be interesting, I will continue working on it when/if the downloadable game is a success (of course gifts will be given to those who bought the downloadable version).
