Vote for Waves!

Today is a day of excellent news! Waves 2: Notorious has made it to the Quarter Finals of the WN Unreal Dev Contest! The top prizes for this contest include Publishing Deals and Development funding that would help support the rest of the game's development. Head over to the games page and give it your vote!

The Achievements Update

The next update nears closer. I have consistently overestimated how much work I can get done while being part-time on the game but the end is now in sight. During today's live stream I managed to get the number of broken or untested achievements down from 9 to just 3 out of 36. There are still 5 that need changes to Items before they can be tested but those changes are minor and should be done by this time next week.

User Interface Improvements

At some point, the ability to use the arrow keys and the D-Pad on controllers stopped working to navigate the menus. Next patch this will be fixed and there have been multiple tweaks to the UI flow and layout to make things easier for those players using control pads! No longer will you have to go all the way back to the main menu just to edit your loadout and picking your loadout will be much easier than ever before!

Localization

The Localization effort is going amazingly well! While most of the languages are sitting around 50% complete the reality is that most of the remaining strings have been translated by Google and are getting upvoted by native speakers of those languages so the most popular languages are almost ready for their first trial in-game! There are still ways to help out! The more votes a suggestion gets the more the green bar will fill up indicating the confidence in the translations are high. In order for a string to be considered "finished" it needs at least 3 votes so at this point we really just need help proofreading what's already there! Thank you to all the members of the community who have helped translate the game to date!

Take up arms against the unending hordes of bugs and viruses determined to take over your system. Experience a challenge only limited by your ability to keep on playing through a combination of procedurally generated arenas and thousands upon thousands of enemy units hell bent on destroying everything you stand for.

Steal precious Data and use it to unlock up to 33 unique Items that can be combined in up to 25,920 different ways allowing you to customize your loadout for each of the 6 game modes.

Brought to you by the developer of the highly successful Waves, Waves² takes everything that made Waves great and multiplies it by a factor of 10. This is a pure shooter through and through.

Grab a hold of those twin sticks to pull off big fat combos, skillful swift kills, and cleverly timed burst attacks to survive each onslaught. This is never-ending fun with the ultimate pay-off of a place on that all important high score table.
