    Heres a preview of some new stuff

    targeting is working
    Before, and behind the scenes, the Dross would swarm the rooms the soldiers were in. Now, they will attack the soldiers who are within range of their sights, attacking the closest soldier. This looks a lot more realistic, but the reason it wasn't implemented isn't do to an oversight, it just was something that other jobs were higher priority

    Slow motion command
    The original idea of the game was something along the lines of it being turn based, however we never wanted it to be strictly turn based since it slows down the game, a lot. To prevent the game slowing down, we have implemented our “Command” Ability. This ability allows the player to toggle time on or off. and still control the soldiers. This allows the player to command multiple troops, form strategy, and generally give them a break from fierce combat.

    Moving and shooting
    The original prototype did not have moving and shooting in the game, due to a few reasons. We built combat around this and thus, the levels, and gameplay all around. Now that the soldiers move and shoot we had to completely reinvent the feel of the game. Now the soldiers take position, turn to face down corridors, track enemy movement and are generally smarter than before.

    We have completed several final textures for the soldiers,
    With the overhaul of the gameplay, we have also done another pass on all the soldier textures. Hopefully this is the final one we will need to do.

    What can I say? We are working hard!

    Today is March 31st, 2017, its been about… maybe 8 years of Derelict? It certainly doesnt feel like that, its only been about a year since things have picked up.

    There has been a lot going on lately, Twitter has been good to us, with a high of 7k impressions a day. Oh and at the time of my writing this we are top of SlideDB with the #1 most popular app today. This is new, different. Kinda freaky.

    I am writing this to say that we are past the point of no return. We are past the hardest part, the most amount of work.There is no going back now. Win or lose.


    I will keep this short. Or try to at least, we will see what i end up writing.

    First, theres some new developments with the Ai. As planned, there is now more articulation to the level, with more going on regarding pathfinding and the basic Dross instincts. This makes the bugs more reactive to the player, more intelligent. Without breaking the core rules of how they’re supposed to work. So that will be the last bit involving the Ai, which is super. We have been working on the Ai alone for about 4 months.

    Next will be all the different guns doing different things. The things they’re supposed to do. For example the arc rifle currently fires. But its supposed to “arc” to other enemies. So they're all getting an new coat of paint like the Carbine rifle above.

    We are aiming to get one level hitting the right mood for the game. This involves the time to complete, the actions required by the player,


    Once the level feels right, that should mean everything used to create that level will translate to other level layouts. We are working with a larger level but currently its a work in progress. But so far, so good.

    We have been making puzzle pieces for the last year.
    Now we are assembling them, making the picture complete.
