Hello Divers! 🦈

It's been about a month since the official launch of the game, and we're excited to share some news about our roadmap moving forward in our new dev interview.

In the interview, we'll cover the highly requested quality of life updates that the community has been asking for since Early Access, including the button-mashing one that many people have requested.

Our current focus is to make the current version's release the best experience possible, so we'll address some of the most requested features before moving on to new content updates in the future.

We are truly grateful for the support the community has provided us, from Early Access through the game's launch.

Hey everyone! A new update is long overdue, so I’m very pleased to announce that I’m releasing v2.0.0 of DINO MERCS today.



This new release has a ton packed into it. Let’s do a tour of the new features:

NEW UI

The UI has been refreshed to better match the overall art direction of the game and to help improve the experience of Operations and Combat. Also, I was able to make all the Dinosaur characters larger, something that I get requests for often!



Operations now function differently - there’s no longer a StS-style map to traverse. Hopefully, the new way Operations work feels fresh and dynamic (let me know your thoughts!).


New Game Mode - MISSIONS

There’s now a new way to play DINO MERCS. Previously, the only way you could play was endless, arcade-style runs. Now, you can play through objective-based runs called Missions!

Missions allow for shorter, more focused play-throughs of the game with a goal in mind. Right now, there are three types of missions: Scavenge Missions (collect supplies), Slayer Missions (defeat a certain number of enemies), and Merc Killer Missions (hunt down a certain Merc Killer).



Each Mission has five levels to beat. As you complete levels and replay the Mission, modifiers are applied to you or the enemy, making the Mission either easier or harder to beat.

Over the next week or two, I’ll release new Steam Achievements corresponding to each Mission and their levels. Get ready to unlock those!



No More Base Defense

I also took something out of the game - Base Defense. Base Defense instances have, for a long time, been the weakest area of the game. I tried really hard to improve them, but the more I tried the more I realized that it was a big time sink with a poor return on investment.

Which means no more Base Defense. Who knows, maybe I’ll revisit this aspect of the game later down the road and add it back into the game. But for now, the removal of Base Defense has improved the flow of the game and has made it overall more fun (in my personal opinion). Now, I’ll be able to spend more of my time making the stronger aspects of the game even better!


Let Me Know What You Think!

As you play the new release, please let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear from players what works and what doesn’t work so I can make the game even better. If you encounter any bugs, also let me know so I can fix them ASAP.

To give me feedback or bug reports, please join the Discord Server or post in the game discussions here on Steam.

Thank you for playing DINO MERCS! It means so much to me.


A Sneak Peek…

If you’re still reading this, you get to hear a little bit about what I’m working on next.

There will be a lot of changes coming. In particular I’ll be working on three big things:

• Overhauling nearly every card in the game (and adding new ones!)
  
• Introducing Stats v2
  
• Introducing Card Mutations

I’ll be sharing more about these later this month. If you want to hear more about development as it happens, be sure to join the discord server!
