Release 1.0 is live, along with the first public release of INCOMER. Thank you for everyone who took part in the playtest.
Most of the updates were done in the playtest branch previously, so this update is fairly small in comparison. Here's a rundown of everything that's in the Live update:
C H A N G E S
Grenades have been temporarily removed
You can no longer pause the game while using a vending machine
You can no longer buy health from a vending machine when youre already at max health

F I X E S

Fixed issue where pressing escape mutes the game, but does not bring up the options screen
Fixed issue where pressing escape would fire the weapon
Fixed issue where lights were causing sprites to show outline boundaries of their graphical area
Fixed issue where the Restart button wasnt always triggering when clicked
Fixed graphical issue on the Level 1 briefing screen related to lighting
Following launch, I will be taking a few days to watch and listen to feedback. I expect one additional update before Christmas to address any immediate issues, with a second before end of the year.
Although INCOMER launches as a complete title, development and support will continue into 2023, to continuously improve the game and add additional features beyond launch. Any and all feedback in that time is appreciated, and will be added to the list of updates for consideration.
Thank you!
INCOMER is a retro-styled 90s first-person shooter game which pitches you against hordes of alien intruders in an attempt to contain a fallen base. With only a small array of weapons and limited ammo, you must fight through six claustrophobic levels as you attempt to contain the outbreak - alien by alien.
Although your gun can tear through enemies quickly, you are only human. Only a few hits may be enough to kill you. In INCOMER, you should always plan your approach carefully.
INCOMER uses a RPG system mechanic to roll enemy stats every time they spawn, meaning that no two enemies will ever be the same.
