Survivor Squad (tuxdb.com)

Howdy folks! This weeks Survivor Squad: Gauntlets update is a big one! First of all, Shooting while moving has been added! It's one of the most requested features and you can now try it out. It is a very delicate mechanic so I look forward to hearing you feedback.
Event Triggers! Now Events have a separate tab for adding Event Triggers. Previously all Events were hardcoded with Proximity and Condition triggers, now you can add the ones you want including all the new triggers like Infected_Died and Item_Proximity.
Gauntlets Variables! It's very difficult to explain how important this is but it is massively important! There are various types of Variables and most Event Actions can take Variables as an Argument. If you are a programmer like me you can probably start imagining all the possibilities but for everyone else let's just say the possible uses are endless.
For example it is now possible to make a Gauntlet that works like an arena with RPG elements like leveling up or a shop. You can make it so that every dead Infected drops a certain resource, then using Item_Proximity you can make an Item drop area and increase a variable by that amount. Doing so you can get a "bank" of resources, then you could for example have a button that checks if you have enough resources to spawn a better Weapon or increase the Survivors View Distance.
With enough imagination you could now build an entire complex RPG within the game! Stay tuned for some really cool Developer Gauntlets to be added in the coming weeks! Enjoy! Here's some Steam keys for Gauntlets for the first lucky few! 74YLW-FH764-B440W WKIKC-32929-02EK0 6NTY2-QCW0G-F7MEX 8ADK7-QV0RN-3RC5V E0M6G-YNCZ6-VEDEI http://store.steampowered.com/app/331720

Survivor Squad is a Strategy Action game where you control a Squad of up to four survivors and guide them through a highly randomized world looking for supplies to aid you on your journey.

Scavenge for supplies in every corner of every building, craft your gear, pick your skills and loadout while keeping your Squad alive by covering every corner and moving as a group.

It is a game that encourages quick thinking and fast paced play since you need to pay attention to all of your squad mates. If you leave someone behind, chances are they will be pounced on and die. Move as a Squad and cover every corner.
