There is no new build released this week, as we focused on designing all the power-ups and specials for the game. Now that they are all designed, we are going to start coding them, and release a few of them in the next couple of weeks.

We were going to focus on the melee weapons this past week, but since the art for them is not ready, we decided to focus on the power-ups.

Power-ups and Specials

Both power-ups and specials can be obtained similar to any other weapon in the game, which is by walking into them. Just like the weapon, they are randomized and players will not know what they got until they pick them up. Most power-ups and specials can only be used once, with some of them being an exception.

The main difference between power-ups and specials is that power-ups are lost on death, while specials are not. This means players can collect a special early in the match and use them at a time when they most need it.

Power-ups and specials will include stuff that affects players directly, such as a shield, and stuff that affects the level, such as meteor storms.

Experimental Branch

You can download the ‘experimental’ branch on Steam at any time by right-clicking on the ‘Akuto: Mad World’ game name on the Steam library page and selecting 'Properties' from the window that opens. From this window select the 'BETAS' tab and then the 'experimental' option from the dropdown menu (the menu labelled 'Select the beta you would like to opt into:’.

To revert back to the latest build of Akuto: Mad World, change the branch to 'NONE- Opt out of all beta programs' from the same menu.
