Implementing Team work

Another week, and it was a PRODUCTIVE week! Fixing a bug in the AI code that made your team-members indifferent to dangerous grenades or other dangerous things like the newly implemented C4 explosions which will be used to break down some weak walls. This weeks DEVLOG goes into how your team will now perform certain tasks for you, which is where that whole team-work stuff comes into play. One team member will be your explosive expert, another one is used to gather intelligence at various devices, and we'll be introducing a lock-pick/safe-cracker expert pretty soon. [previewyoutube=AeNDuN2r8R4;full][/previewyoutube] You might also notice new art popping up around the page! It took some time to find the right person for this, but I teamed up with a great artist and the results are amazing!

This weeks changes-list:

THE SITUATION

An Asteroid crashed in the city, and an Alien substance called the Ooze started seeping out of it. It was quickly discovered that the Ooze had great drug potential, and it had mutating powers to who-ever Oozes up on it.

Gangs around the city have been using it to become stronger and more dangerous..

YOUR TEAM IS YOUR WEAPON

Besides a host of gadgets, weapon upgrades and handy tools to increase your chances of survival, you also lead a team of AI controlled trigger happy soldiers. Move as a single entity through various environments performing missions. They will help you take out enemies, and as they level-up learn abilities to breach doors, place C4, collect intelligence data, and become better at what they do: kill the mutated enemies.

Lead the pack from the front, or lay back a bit as they take out enemies, the most important thing: operate as a team and make sure you stay a live .. at all costs!

SUPER POWERS

The alien substance that crashed in the city doesn't just mutate gang members and various other city dwellers. It has also given you super abilities! Each playable character has a different set of Abilities and dodge moves to learn and use during your missions.

REGULATE THE CITY

Complete missions all over the city, from apartments to industrial area's, hospitals, banks, airfields and scrapyards! The city layout and missions are procedurally generated, within pre-designed interior maps. Giving the best of both rogue-likes and custom level-design gameplay.

Can you lead this squad to victory?
