Lone Survivors Daily: Leaderboards v2
I've been working on adding more content to the leaderboards, and we've attached some more metadata in a similar method to before.
Now, each leaderboard entry contains:
1. Class
2. Character Level
3. Weapons
Check it out below!

Lone Survivors Daily - Undying Flames
The newest ability to join the roster is the Undying Flames
Perhaps a staple ability type in this genre, this ability just damages nearby enemies over time!
It was pretty fun to make this ability, and it's been on my backlog for a bit now.

Lone Survivors Daily: Steam Leaderboards
I've been working on adding some additional metadata to my leaderboards in preparation for the playtest.
The newest addition is adding the class played!
When you make a score in the leaderboard, it stores your class and displays it!

Talking about performance every day is very exciting (....maybe)
I continued to tackle performance problems. I have done two things (that will take some tweaking) to see some late game gains.
1. Reduce nodes in enemy scenes
2. Reduce navigation calls

Today was another optimization day.
I've been working on removing repeated calls to get_tree().get_first_node_in_group, so that we don't have to loop through the whole node tree repeatedly, costing performance.
I am using an autoload to store references:

I didn't get as much time to work today as usual, but I've been spending time working on adding more meta progression upgrades.
I'm satisfied with the Warrior + General upgrades, next to come for the playtest is the Barbarian.
Take a look at some below!

I am still running into performance issues, so one thing I decided is replacing all of my AnimationPlayer nodes with just using a component that tweens the animations instead.
This way, each entity doesn't NEED an animation player, just a couple of tweens!

I continued working on my endless mode, and have been also working on getting the game ready for playtesting!
That means:
1. Adjusting leaderboard to show in main menu
2. Deactivating hub for now
3. Disabling some features that are WIP for main game

Happy Halloween!!
Laser Eye!
I'm working on yet another ability to add to the roster!
The Laser Eye is both all-seeing and all-violent, and it targets the nearest enemy with a beam attack. One of it's rare upgrades makes it sweep at an angle!

Working on another new ability, Claws.
Claws are a short range ability, with a unique upgrade where each consecutive hit on an enemy increases their size and damage (still to be tuned)!
See the claws built, and then in action below:

It's everybody's favourite time - bugfixing time 🐛
I tackled resolving a few bugs - such as the Necromancer's graves (from his active ability) not appearing where they should!
I also continued working on abilities - with the Meteor implementation.

Feature: adding more affixes!
Affixes appear in Ascension 1+ in the campaign (after beating the game), and after 6 minutes in endless.
Affixes modify the enemy, such as:
- Bloodlust: enemy heals when nearby enemies die
- Gravitational: pulls player in

Today, I worked on adding more upgrades to the Warrior class.
The Warrior can upgrade his sword ability with some additional meta upgrades:
1. Sword strikes -- allows the sword to strike repeatedly
2. Sword waves - like LoZ Master Sword sending waves!

As a small update, I now have a website live here:
www.lonesurvivors.ca
There's no backend, and it's probably less interesting than the Steam page, but I figured it's cool to have a website these days..

In Lone Survivors' Campaign, you will encounter optional objectives based on some triggers!
I've been working on implementing these!
One example is finding the Blacksmith (once found, he joins you for the rest of the map as well!) - on Ascension 1.

I made some tweaks to the Drone, and gave it a rocket launcher attachment
Take a look below to see the drone go through multiple different looks (with rockets, with laser, and with buzzsaws), as it helps you defeat the enemies!

I've been working on adding a new ability, the Defense Drone. This drone will make your lone survivor a little less lonely, by attacking enemies with bullets and saws!

Endless Leaderboards + Scoring!
Today I changed how the endless levels will be scored. Instead of a flat rank based on time, now your performance will matter.
Based on:
1. Time
2. Kills
3. Levels
4. Upgrades
5. Boss/Elite kills
(UI still a bit WIP)

Lone Survivors 28 - Would You Still Kill Me If I Was A Worm?
Today, we explored the age-old topic of whether or not we would kill the enemy in our survivors-like if it was a worm.
The answer is YES.
See below the latest cute addition to the Grasslands!
