Hey everyone!
Been almost a full month since the last update, so I thought I'd pop in and show everyone what I'm working on, along with a new game that'll be releasing in just over 2 weeks time! So, let's get to it!
Update 4 - Progress Update
Although I've been fairly busy with getting Neon Sundown thrown together, I have still be working on Update 4 quite a bit. It's over 50% complete now, including a complete redesign of the interface. For example, below is the new hotbar design in Update 4.
New Hotbar Design:
On top of this, I also have more enemies ready to deploy in Update 4. I'm not gonna share exactly what each enemy does like I did in the last post since I don't want to spoil too much, but as mentioned before you can expect most enemies to be receiving similar redesigns.
Overall I'm happy with how progress is coming along for Update 4, and I'm REALLY excited to see everyone get their hands on it once it's ready. There's a chance Update 4 might mark the end of early access, though I don't want to say for certain as it'll depend on how stable the update is. (Regardless of that fact, it certainly wont be the last update!)
Update 4 - Release Date
And what do ya know! I have once again inaccurately predicted the release of the next update (who could've possibly seen that coming?) - I had originally said the update was going to be out in February, but with the release of Neon Sundown I unfortunately don't think that's doable. I want to make sure Neon Sundown has a smooth launch BEFORE I release Update 4, as releasing both around the same time could easily turn into a nightmare for me.
So, with that said, I am aiming for the new release date of Update 4 to be
March 22nd, which is actually
Vectorio's 1-year anniversary! I think it'd be awesome to try and have the largest update drop on the same day Vectorio released last year.
I will keep everyone update on progress and will make another announcement in March if Update 4 is looking to be on track for hitting that new release date.
Neon Sundown - Releasing February 25th
I am excited to announce a new game I've been working on, Neon Sundown! The game is a fast-paced roguelike that takes place in the
"Vectorio universe" (if you wanna consider that a thing). It was originally going to be a DLC for Vectorio, but I was having so much fun with it I decided to make it a standalone!
If it looks interesting to you,
please consider wishlisting it! You can also find the Discord and Reddit links below if you want to chat about the game more with both myself and others involved in the project.
