27/12/18: Merry (slightly late) Christmas!

Hey everyone!

Sorry this has taken a little longer to appear here, I've been chastised by people who don't have the memory of a sieve that I haven't updated here and now that I've worked out how ot access the edit part again here we are wiiiiith a christmas present for you all!

AND!

(Click the PredationA0.07 file for the latest!)

That is Predation Alpha 0.07, a present from myself and Byful to you all this Christmas!


We hope you enjoy, Byful has put in a ton of work getting the new engine up and running and I'm pleased to say the golden retriever is fully implemented and available for your entertainment!

To get him to trigger the attack to down Amber you need to be within swinging distance of his can, or alternatively you can press Q at any time to down Amber and see the downed animation for each enemy a little easier that way.

Also included is sound now! Where it counts too ;) if you're not a fan of that I'd suggest muting the game, as I've not put a mute button in for that yet, but that leads me to the next thing.


Now that this version is complete and the engine's base mechanics are all whirring away nicely, Byful's going to step away for a little while and focus on his own stuff for a bit while I crack my knuckles and get deep into this engine he's built up for me!

This means I'll be adding new bits and pieces as I familiarize myself and will release some hotfixes and updates to the game to include some things you may notice aren't currently there; things like the cellphone pause menu, the destructable drinks machines, the kickable toilet paper (yeah I spent time doing that) etc. and I do plan to have that all back in, *especially* the TP, and with the awesome work Byful's done here we're on much firmer ground for the future, I feel ^^

This also means production is nearly on the move again! Byful has pulled the heavy load most of the way, now I'm here to snatch it at the end point and take all the glory as we move on into the future of entirely new content and levels instead of this samey business. We've been in the subway for a while now eh?


I want to thank you all for your patience in these past few months; I won't get all mushy, those of you that have been following a while will know the skinny by now and I won't repeat it, but suffice to say I wouldn't be releasing this today if it weren't for your unwavering support and love and enthusiasm, and I honestly hope this little suprise gave you a smile and a little extra christmas cheer; you guys are awesome, here's hoping 2019 is the year this gets crazy!



...crazier!


Merry Christmas everyone!
