Devlog #1 Added Explosions and Improved Visuals


Hey everyone! I’m excited to share the latest updates on the game. I’ve been working hard to polish visuals, gameplay, and overall feel. Check out the new screenshots above to see everything in action!

New Features & Improvements

  • Explosions
    Big, fiery blasts now light up the environment when things go boom. They’re not just eye candy – they also affect nearby enemies, so timing your explosives can really turn the tide in your favor.

  • New Bullets & Ejected Shells
    Firing your weapon feels more satisfying with improved bullet visuals and shell casings flying out. It adds a nice touch of realism and helps you keep track of the action on-screen.

  • Overhauled Floor Tiles
    The ground textures and tiles have been revamped to better match the game’s atmosphere. This gives each area a more cohesive, polished look.

  • Improved Lighting & Field of View Shader
    Lighting is now more dynamic, and the Field of View has been tweaked to provide better contrast between lit areas and dark corners. It should make stealth and enemy detection more engaging.

  • Microquest
    At the start of the game, you’ll now see a short quest that guides you through your first steps. It’s designed to help you get familiar with the controls and understand what to do next.

  • Updated Control Display
    The control hints have been fixed and adjusted. No more confusion when trying to figure out which button does what!
