BitRoamer Update-VIII
I’m excited about this update. It’s the first time BitRoamer feels like a game. Move fast enough to grab the health before it times out while avoiding the hordes.
Changelog
- Enemy melee-ers (aka “hordees”) now move at a constant rate
- Item drops have a lifetime of 5 seconds before they disappear.
- Enemies spawn in waves now, a new wave isn’t spawned until all the previous wave’s enemies are dead
Todo:
- Add “ammo” pickup
- change the players ammo to a finite resource
- Add player melee
- new input key
- animation
- no ammo for this (obviously)
- Enemy melee should do more damage than a shooter
- Change fire rate of player so that it is constant, with a bit more wait between each bullet, and add a reload after every 8th bullet, with a current “Clip” count label or icon.
- Reload indicator kind of looks like cell phone reception bars or MGS bars
- Add pathfinding so that enemies can move around each other.
