Hello! This is the first of many monthly development updates where I will showcase all the changes I've made and have planned for the remainder of the month!

Remade Enemy System

This month I decided to take a look at the Enemy System and decided to revamp how this system works! Previously, Enemies would spawn in 3 slots, and once one of those enemies died a new one would instantly take it's place. Now, Enemies spawn in waves, there are still 3 slots enemies spawn but if one enemy dies another one won't take it's place until all the enemies have been killed. This would be considered clearing a wave. When the Player reaches wave 1000, a boss enemy will spawn that take over all 3 slots, once defeated the wave will go to Wave 1. Bosses though will be worked on next month.

New Enemies & Upgrades

Currently I have a small amount of upgrades and enemies in game, this is because the act of adding new ones is a relatively simple task considering it's mostly implemented and tested already, and I wanted to prioritize other features that needed more work, but this month I am finally adding some more to test the difficulty when in later game!

Settings in-game

Using feedback from my early testers, I've decided to prioritize a settings menu within the game, It will feature the ability to change audio settings etc (more than in the screenshot) Previously settings could only be changed from the main menu

Tutorials

Tutorials have been added as pop-ups that appear when you need them, previously tutorials were hidden under a menu the player had to choose to go too. These are now pop-ups! (with an option to disable in settings)

Daily Login Revamp

Previously the daily login reward would check if it's a different day, and give you the reward if the date you last played and the current date didn't match. This would work great apart from it makes it very easy to cheat this system to get the daily reward very quickly. I've revamped the daily logins and added additional measures to prevent this!
That's all for this monthly update, there also many small changes not mentioned here, Like the addition of music on the main menu, and next month the whole game! Follow the Twitter and Join the Discord for more updates! https://twitter.com/olivermac_games & https://discord.gg/xs2FFpBVEk
