Slow Mo is not just a combat feature but an ability of your current robot operator. Doing it too often will increase stress. Other operators have different abilities making all of them unique in battle.

Wasn't happy with the explosions so I cut up the mesh into multiple pieces in Blender, added some Rigidbodies and added force when the explosion happens.
Pretty happy with the result for less than an hour of work.

They didn't know what happened, but the science lab was sealed when they arrived. Strange letters appeared before them. Until they decided what to do with this, they had to focus on other things: like not starving and not freezing to death...

So close to an alpha version! Just uploaded 37min of uncut gameplay (well... 1 cut because of a tiny bug...). Nonetheless a big success!
After nearly 7 months of development, alpha testing can finally begin!
Wish me luck!

Expanding my infestation mechanic.
Contaminators renew the infestation every 15 seconds, but this needs an indicator.
The decontaminated zone should stay clear permanently, but I'm unsure how to achieve this efficiently.

Working on a soundtrack for Frost Protocol.
Not sure though if acoustic guitar fits a sci-fi setting.
What do you think?
(Recording quality is far from great...)

Finally got my render texture to work.
Time for some contamination to spread...
Still a bit rough around the edges (literally...) but that's for future me to take care of...

After 6.5 months of development, I finally took the time to create a simple main menu.
One of the last features for the alpha version!

Implemented a bark system. Now, they talk! Included localization as well so they will annoy you in your own language!
Also, hunger and fatigue lead to slower movement.
Just a few days away from a first alpha version!

As always, lasers are the solution!
Well... if you have enough energy (which most likely you'll never have...)
But still... LASERS!

Reworked the task system and UI: Previously, humans were also at the outpost—now, only robots. Tasks can have requirements regarding robot type. Also created pickup tasks. Salvage destroyed robots, repair them, and use them.

Turns out that if your goal is to complete an alpha build but you keep adding features, the more you work, the further you get from your goal...

The entire time I implemented this, the ›Inspector Gadget‹ theme song played in my mind.
Anyways...
Using a stationary scanner grants permanent vision and scans the surroundings to detect approaching monsters. No surprises anymore!

You should conquer with love - not weapons...
... but if you are up against mindless and deadly alien monsters, it's best to have your shields up.

Fine-tuning in the robot bay: repair or upgrade components, switch, remove, or add abilities, and abort or reorder jobs in the queue.
I removed individual health values for robot components (too complex and UI-heavy).

Working on enemy AI. The standard path sends them on a straight line to their target, which looked very unnatural.
Still far from finished, but it already looks much better.
Simple changes, great improvements!

Everything ready for some research.
Also: I settled for 4 resources: Food, Medkits, Building Material, and Intel (discover more info for your next trip to the outpost).
