This game was officially a college project and as a university student, I haven't had much time to update it and eventually lost all the files connected to this game.
However, I am (and have been) working on a new project much larger and more fun than lidar survival that i'm sure everyone who has found this game will enjoy.
I will be working hard and trying my best to get this game out possibly with some multiplayer functions too, be sure to watch for a new game on my account as we get closer to the end of the year.
In the meantime I will be discounting the game temporarily for more people to enjoy who have not yet bought the game, thank you!
There is now a new region that can be accessed in Tarsian Forest, called Orbiting Mass. New enemies are apearing in the region and a new weapon called the Laser Blaster can be discovered.
PATCH NOTES
-new weapon: Laser Pistol -new region: Orbiting Mass -new enemies: Moon Men, Big Heads, Borx -updated skill tree -revamped Enemy Gun attacks -Sprint is now a toggle if not holding the Sprint button
We're back with another status update, but this one will be short.
We've finished rendering 11 more animations and will start working on the next ones next week. For the static renders, 200+ have been rendered since the last status update and are still rendering as we write this.
Lastly, we mentioned that we would be adding some additional language options with the upcoming update. As of last week, Italian translation was added to those options.
We have been working hard to improve the demo these pasts weeks ! As usual keep in mind that these elements will keep on being improved in the coming weeks.
IN-GAME MECHANICS
Addition of quests
(quests allow you to earn bonus points and tiles).
Road quests.
Canal quests.
Addition of features
Features are given randomly during the game.
Feature refresh (allows you to reload the current tile, replacing it with a new one).
Feature generate (allows you to generate an ideal tile for the placement chosen by the player).
MENUS
Addition of the "help" menu, which contains the basic explanations of the game (work in progress).
SOUND DESIGN
We have improved the sound feedback of various elements in the game such as an incremential sound effect for the points rewards.
Fight the VULTURE! 3 phases + despair phase and introduction After defeating Umbrathirax, keep going for a few more levels to encounter the Vulture... It's a pretty chaotic fight on harder difficulties, so be warned... AND KEEP MOVING!
New Enemies!
3 new basic enemies added. The saw thrower... you'll figure out why it has this name. The hunter... it only moves horizontally or vertically, but if it touches a wall, it's speed can easily overpower the player, so be warned. The soul of corruption... some souls are not as pure... but someone would be grateful if you got rid of them...
1 new miniboss
Find pages of CARNAGE, destroy them!Do NOT let the witch fool you...
New Weapons
Flamethrower Freezethrower (is a flamethrower but cooler) Butterfly staff (a reward for helping someone...) Shield Barrier (destroy enemy bullets and push them away)
Achievements
5 new achievements!
New Rooms
A lot of rooms added for the new enemies, some of them may have some traps!
Small changes!
Now TIER 2 cores are waaaaaaaaaay easier to get.
The level transition screen is now skippable Every level will increase the health multiplier for enemies The game will start as fullscreen by default Added a quit button on main menu Soul of light "unlocked" on an entirely different way Getting "relationship points" with characters is now possible but that won't have any impact on gameplay yet. Cease's sound was changed Some curses are more common
Bug Fixes
Fixed crash when first initializing the game. Fixed a bug where the game would not recognize a core was destroyed (so you'd spawn on the next level as if you still had it) Fixed Dragon's breath firework not hitting "transparent" entities. Fixed multiple bugs related to curses. Fixed bug where the game would generate a labyrinth, hard level or long level as the first level. Fixed bug where the witch would repeat a cutscene instead of going to the next room. Fixed crash when equipping "bunch of pistols" Fixed a texture bug on the summoner miniboss Stalkers should not appear blue or purple, now they are completely transparent :)
Balance Changes
Now poison won't stack damage over 85.
Secrets
Hell difficulty ;b Be careful not to name your save with anything that would get someone stronger and far more powerful irritated :)
Friday update for all you fine people, mainly fixes.
- Station loading algorithm was reworked a bit for more efficient loading. When loading multiple types of cargo, it should now restart loading previous vehicles, rather than start loading new ones. - Fixed vehicle cargo percentage calculation. It should now be calculated from total vehicle capacity, rather than just current capacity, including fix for universal box/freezer vehicles. - More fixes to ship loading. Should fix barge loading stuck at 60 and large ships with multiple holds getting stuck. - Fixed large road station middle connection problems. - Fixed road station connection not updating properly when connected road is deleted, but not disconnected. - Fixed road stop problems created in previous version. - Fixed few road vehicle issues, changing station connection, vehicle getting lost after overtaking directly before intersection, etc. - Fixed few issues with train switching save/load. - Fixed train cargo and capacity recalculation after rolling stock switching. - Fixed rail station – road collision. - Fixed rail ramp collision. - Fixed rail bridge placing issue when trying to drag bridge after it connected to other side. - Fixed per-car order UI issue with first element on second row not interacting. - Possible fix to game freezing during saving, but not sure yet. - Added tanker barge.
