Patch Notes

Darkest Depths Rebuild Release

I made a mistake in thinking that local back ups was the way to go. Long story short a bad power supply caused me to lose four hard drives at once and basically my entire game.

Every single piece of the game has been remade with the exception of some models, enemies most specifically.

Guns are now randomized on pick up and on start. There are five in this release. I have eight total but the other three aren't ready yet.

Guns use ammo and you can only hold two. You can get a new gun at the end of each room.
There's a bug currently with weapon saves which unfortunately forced me to disable them. For now until I can fix the issues weapons will be re-rolled between levels.

Upgrades – This release comes with 20 upgrades.

Active upgrades – I added Q and E abilities that you can find. Q abilities are damaging like grenades that summon meteors, slam the ground while in the air etc.. E abilities are support like throw down barriers, slow time etc.. There are four for each slot. Eight total active upgrades at release.

Wall running is no more. I loved it, I loved what it added but I hated developing with it.

The first floor is essentially finished minus some artwork that is coming later.

The second floor is being released now but is basically blocked out with it's core art. Future updates will be around finishing the second floor, adding challenges and so on.

The third and final floor is coming after the second floor is finished.

Bosses – There is only one for this release. I have two more in the works for the near future.

The game loop as it stands and until the real ending is finished with the third floor will be a constant loop from all of the existing content.

Sorry it took so long. I spent months on what should have led into the game's official release. That was all lost and it sucks. I didn't want to disappoint the people that enjoy the game so I worked to rebuild it from near scratch.
