The pistol rounds are bigger and more prominent. This way its easier to trace the ricochet shots and look really cool.
It also lets me do this really cool looking orbital strike that one shots all the fodder class enemies.

After a bunch of playtester feedback, there is now a damage indicator that points at the source of damage.
It gets more intense based on the amount of damage taken, but doesnt become a distraction so that you can start looking for health pickups or just start grapple kicking smaller enemies

The Humanoid Mech is probably the most powerful enemy in the game.

If you're too far, its gonna shoot projectiles as it closes the gap.


If you get too close it will use a deadly Switchblade Sword.


The only way to beat it is to counter the Slash or it will dodge your shots!

Ive been working on the game for roughly six months now and I wanted to go over how I went from an empty editor window to a cool steam page! After this I'll move on to really short form updates every week. I gotta get this one out though.

The first playable I came up with using stock 3D models and animations

Ideation

Movement System

Enemies

Splodies (suicidal enemies)
Whatever they do is in the name itself!

Weaponry

There are 6 weapons that have a regular fire and an alt fire that activates when the player kicks the bullets:

• A Revolver whose bullets can be kicked to make them ricochet
• A Quad Barrel Super Shotgun that can be kicked for an explosive shot
• A Rambo-style Gattling gun which can be kicked to shoot homing bullets
• A Grenade Launcher that can be kicked into a Rocket Launcher
• A Crossbow that spins like a beyblade when kicked, slicing all enemies in its way!
• And finally the Railgun, a reference to my other game Kickback! It can literally one shot anything in its way!
  

Level Design

With the foundational elements in place, I delved into level design. With a ton of playtester feedback, I was able to create the whitebox of a proper first level. However, I faced a challenge as the player could only move upwards, making downward movement feel like a fail state. To address this, I introduced a slide system, allowing players to dive downwards and slide under surfaces. Paired with a progressively vertical movement system, it opened up a really engaging level design mantra.

I encourage everyone interested to join the Discord community and become an Aviator! I post regular builds and updates there!

See y'all next time!
