Devlog - Game Update Highlights

ModLoader & ModAPI

Introducing ModLoader, allowing players to easily incorporate custom enemies with unique textures and attacks. ModAPI has been developed to enable scripting in Lua for personalized attacks and the use of custom resources like sounds and textures.

UI Update

A substantial UI overhaul has been implemented, featuring new tabs, smooth animations, and additional buttons. The credits tab has been redesigned, and minor bug fixes related to transitions have been addressed.

Localization

The game now supports multiple languages with a localization core adapting text based on the chosen language. Added languages include Ukrainian, Polish, Spanish, Italian, Bulgarian, German, and French. Users can select their language using flag icons, and a language choice is available on the main screen, with a redesigned font and Cyrillic support.

Trails

Customizable trails have been introduced, allowing players to personalize their characters and adding collectible elements to the game. Currently, there are 28 trails across various categories.

Lootbox

Gift boxes, or loot boxes, have been added as post-game rewards. Opening a box presents a chance to obtain trails, in-game currency, or fuel with animated opening sequences.

OctaneAPI

A rest API using Golang has been developed as octaneAPI, connecting the game client to the server and database, essentially handling hybrid multiplayer functionalities.

Multithreading

Optimizing the game's performance, multithreading has been implemented to ensure smoother data loading from OctaneAPI. In case of connection failure, a script processes information to prevent client crashes.

Leaderboard

A leaderboard showcases the top 10 players with parameters loaded from the database via octaneAPI. Players can view basic statistics such as damage, health, and currency. Duel functionality (in development) brings hybrid multiplayer aspects to the game.

Items

Two new items have been introduced - Antidote, transforming poison effects into regeneration, and Voucher, randomly selecting an item in the store and making it free.

Music & Sounds

Several new soundtracks and sounds have been added to enhance the gaming experience.

Sh-100

In-game console functionality has been expanded, featuring a new mini-game - Capture the Flag (CTF).

Graphics

Significant work has been done on textures and UI elements, contributing to the improvements mentioned above.

Thank you for following the game's development. We hope to have everything ready soon. Coming soon!
