July project status

Time for an update! There's lots of things going on and as a result we've again neglected this blog because of it. We're crunching new levels every day while optimizing the code and assets and doodling new art, but what else is new?

Fixerbot got sounds

Just a quick post!

I've added some sound effects to FixerBot and as a result, he's a lot more perky and alive. This unit has been neglected for some time, but it is now added back to the game and is fully functional with sounds.

June status update

Time to chat about what's been going on with the project. We've been very busy optimizing the code and assets, and creating new playable content.

Ragdolls

Everyone loves ragdolls! It's not like they're a necessity, but throwing enemies around with the GravGun looks stupid without them. We encountered some problems and found solutions to them and that's what this post is about.
