Fate Version 0.8

Fate devlog 0.8:

This devlog will go over everything added since version 0.7, this includes:

The tutorial level

New boss

Updated enemy AI (Again)

Tutorial Level:

This is the design of the tutorial, while short it gives the player a good idea on the basics of the gameplay loop, being using guns abilities and your super to kill enemies, theres also a boss at the end to help players put all their new skills to the test. This level features pop ups in the corner which the player can dismiss manually that will teach them how to:

Move

Change weapons

Use abilities

Use super

Change and Inspect weapons

This is what the boxes look like in game, making them small and in the corner of the players screen where they can still read it but its not in their face.

New tutorial boss:

As mentioned in the earlier part of this devlog there is a newly made boss for the end of the tutorial, this boss is the Shrieker and it has two states it can exist in, its first state is its attack state where it will be vulnerable but the player will also be able to shoot its eye to deal damage back to it where it looks like this:

The other state it exists in is its defensive state where it moves all its side pieces to cover its eye, while it cant attack it nullifies all damage from the player where it will look like this:

This makes for a relatively basic boss which allows new players to try and test everything they learned in the tutorial against an easier boss than the tank enemy in Sinners Den.

Updated enemy AI:

The enemy AI has been slightly tweaked again to give the enemies a bit more range to detect the player at and they should also be able to shoot from a bit further away as well giving them a chance to survive a bit longer due to the distance.

Going forward:

The next version of Fate will most likely be its release version so for that version and the final devlog I am intending on doing some bug fixes for the game and addressing any remaining bugs that will be in the launch version of the game.
