In this upcoming video series we would like to show you a selection of Black Powders features the team has been working tirelessly on. Furthermore we would like to give you a sneak peak into the background works and the resulting gameplay mechanics.




Most modern FPS games opt for the aiming mode in which the gun is locked to the character view. They also have the crosshair in the centre of the screen along with the iron sights always aligning to the centre.

For Black Powder we are allowing the gun to move freely on the players screen within an area, meaning the middle of the screen will not always be the place your gun is aiming. By doing this we don't only replicate eyes, but we also achieve a clearly immersive and natural weapon movement.



We are developing Black Powder as a realistic, historical and authentic shooter. Our motto for the game is “Easy to learn, difficult to master”. We have made a series of decisions to reflect this goal throughout development:

• No crosshair
  
• Realistic Ballistics with bullet penetration, ricochets and bullet drop.
  
• Individual weapon handling, recoil and weapon jolting, along with many more weapon specific features
  
• Realistic damage models on characters, with which each body part has a different collision zone and different damage modifiers.
  
• Interactive environments.
  
• And much more!

Learn more about these features and many more in future videos.

We always look forward to hearing what you think.

Thought I'd give you guys a short preview of the music & atmosphere in the game. :) I haven't revealed much sound from the game yet (with exception to trailer), so you could say it's about time. Hope you enjoy it and look forward to the game!

Here's a huge content update, bringing you a new path stop, 7 unique gold cards, improved randomization and improvements to the overall game play.

Let's start with the gold cards. These are hero stat improvement cards that are scattered across the levels and path stops. There are 7 unique cards in total that improve the following skills: gun damage, fire rate, bullet speed, accuracy, maximum hp, maximum ammo capacity and special recharge rate. Gold cards are stackable up to 9x and with each new card the reward increases. There are no negative effects related to these cards and they aren't permanent either, that means with each new run you start with no cards equipped.



Next in line, we got a tricky new path stop - Rotten Elder. A path stop that requires sacrifice of your HP. You've got 2 options... to run away and lose some of your hard earned crystals, or to accept her offer of a random gold card, but lose 50% of your HP. Neither is always the right choice, so think twice before you act.

You might notice some other improvements to the overall game play too, such as better randomization when generating levels, some balance tweaks and less bugs.

Thank you for your patience and have fun!

• Added a new path stop - Rotten Elder.
  
• Game over screen also shows companions and gold cards now.
  
• Added 7 unique gold cards.
  
• Improved randomization.
  
• Decreased revolver fire rate delay from 40 to 32.
  
• Decreased legendary pistol fire rate delay from 36 to 30.
  
• Fixed minor bugs.

Update date: November 17, 2019

What's new?

• 40+ New songs has been added!
  
• Sand City has been added!
  
• The North Greenhelm facility has been added!

Bugs fixed:

• Bear's quest has been fixed.
  
• The keyboard key settings have been fixed.
  
• Blacksmith now in Tsuna gives a pickaxe instead of the Omega sword as it was mistakenly before.
  
• The teleport in Greenhelm to Phoenix was deprived of which is to appear later in the game. Only way to get to Phenix is by ship.
  
• We removed the character in Tsuna City which gave infinite amount of gold.

We have established that the people who most often participate in discussion forums, on discords etc. and elsewhere their nickname will be included in the game credits

Thank you very much for support the game!
We Love you!

Best regards
Blacer Studio
