Hello All,

I am excited to share that I have been working on a new game called Many Faces due out this December 2019! Many Faces is a classic, retro arcade shooter from the 90s. Blast your way through randomly generated levels to confront the Many Face King! Without all the feedback I received from the players of AV-17, this game would not have been possible! Thanks all!

Hello All,

I discovered that after a recent game maker studio 2 update one of the enemy objects code was automatically modified (not in a good way). The AV Red enemy (basically your evil twin) would generate a game ending error after spawning and teleporting for the first time. This issue has been resolved in this update. Sorry for anyone that experienced the issue.

And since I was at it, I figured I would also make the following quick changes:

- ALL Bosses health has been reduced by about 15%
- The last two cars of the Deadly Driver boss now drop loot after being destroyed. This was the only boss (other than the last boss) that did not drop loop after being defeated.

Hopefully these minor changes even the odds. :)

Thanks,
WANZUNGDEV

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the start to a new year! It has been a pleasure hearing all the feedback provided over the last couple months. A special thanks to all those that uploaded pictures, posted on YoutTube, and even to kairu209 for making some fun fan art! Glad most people have enjoyed their time with AV-17, if only for curiosity sake.

Well, without further delay here are a few updates/fixes that I made this evening:

- Fixed an issue where the meteor item did not kill green network spikes in section 2, just produced hit pixels if roaming low to the ground
- Fixed meteor item so that it now explodes when hitting the floor causing a screen shake and noise
- Fixed an issue where the fish mailer in section 1 of the game would not track player 2 if player 1 was not in the game
- Fixed an issue where the fish mailer v2 in section 3 of the game would not track player 2 if player 1 was not in the game
- Extended the length of time items remain visible before disappearing from 5 to 8 seconds
- Extended the time between changing rooms from 3 to 8 seconds to allow for players to pick up items, especially after boss fights

Thanks again for your feedback. I am looking to add up to 5 new infection enemies into the game sometime this year. As usual, I have no ETA, but it is something that I want to do to spice things up.

Take Care,
WANZUNGDEV

Hello All,

For kicks, I posted a video walkthrough on YouTube of the first 4 levels of the game. Now you can better prepare for the first boss, Bad Block. Good luck! The video quality is awful, but you'll get the gist.

You can also visit the community hub and watch the video from there as well.

Thanks,

Hi Again,

I know, so soon! I wanted to make a couple quick updates to the game this weekend. Here they are:

1. You can now play AV-17 in Dual Core (two player) mode with player 1 using the keyboard and player 2 using the gamepad. You no longer need two gamepads to make two player work.

2. You can now use the left CTRL or SPACE keys to perform the dash move. More alternatives the better.

3. The README file has been updated with the info above.

I want to thank everyone again for their feedback.

Thanks,
WANZUNGDEV

Hello All,

Thanks to everyone who has left feedback through reviews and discussions. And another thanks to everyone posting screen shots of your experiences in AV-17. Keep'em coming!

I have just released v1.0.0.1 of AV-17, which includes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. 5 New Steam Achievements! Try your best to defeat every boss, including The Source!

2. The game will now pause when the Steam overlay is active, except when at the title and main menu screen where it's not needed.

3. Modified some of the language used during the tutorial. Made is clear that you CAN DASH THROUGH ENEMIES AND PROJECTILES to avoid damage. Sorry for the caps, but for those that don't like playing through tutorials more than once, that is the highlight.

[Clarification Section - Hopefully This Helps A Few Players]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. You can dash by pressing left shift or the left trigger on the controller while already moving. There is no need to stop and press a direction + dash key.
2. You can jump by pressing the W key or A button on the controller while moving. There is no need to stop, press jump, and then a direction.
3. Single Core (1 Player) and Dual Core (2 Player). This was my attempt at CPU architecture humor.
4. There is a README file downloaded with the game.
5. Pressing ENTER on the keyboard is an alternative way to fire the scan gun for those that don't like using the left mouse button. This is stated in the README.

Again, I want to thank everyone for their feedback and their support of AV-17. I hope to keep updating this game in the future to make improvements and add content. Though, there is no ETA. Sorry this update is long winded.

Thanks,
WANZUNGDEV

Hello All,

Just a quick shout out to everyone playing AV-17 thus far. Thanks for your support and feedback.

I hope to be implementing Steam achievements soon. No exact ETA, but just know they will be there in the near future.

Thanks,
WANZUNGDEV

Hello All, I have been developing AV-17 for a little over a year now and I am happy to finally release it for FREE! Enjoy!
