Looks ace! Can't wait to see this come to fruition. Is it designed levels or procedural, btw? And is there some contextual story-telling in it, like the thematically similar Xenomorph? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenomorph_(video_game)

The current game consists of three chapters with each chapter containing pre-made levels, there is a story to the game but it's not told directly to the player - but it is optional through reading terminals scattered around. Terminals contain notes by the people who lived (and maybe still lives) on the station, much like the Fallout games' terminals
I have been brainstorming with Stefan on adding more modes to the game such as a wave defence one, however that wasn't a possibility with the old engine as almost everything was hardcoded. The idea of procedurally generated levels, turning the game into some sort of roguelike in that specific sense (it still wouldn't be a roguelike by definition), was something I considered and tried - but the old engine limited me again. So, hopefully, the new engine will as I said give us more control over the levels and maybe let me do such extras in the future

A procedurally generated version of this would basically be a sci-fi Delver, which I would be very happy about - though understandable engine issues. Either way I'm enjoyig playing the demo so far!
Can't wait to see those new mobs implemented!

Ah, that's how I was hoping the story was told. Xenomorph did something similar in that you'd find 3.5" discs lying around and plugging them into a computer let you read them. Are you planning any puzzle content at all in terms of keys or combinations, etc?

We had a tile that when stepped on flipped flippable walls, it was extremely simple but Stefan utilised it in a way that is beyond my understanding - making crazy contraptions that change the layout of the level completely with just one step!

Great to see this project back again. But - why an engine rewrite?

I'm not the same programmer I was a year and a half ago, not even the greatest refactor would help that code, and get it to the state I want

Hey I made a "library" of gibs and some particles and explosion thingies! A small test of the new explosion particles:

The new sprites look amazing.. Really loving the depth you added, I almost thought you upped the resolution because they're so much more detailed!

I loved the initial artwork, and the new art even more. Looking forward to this!

So engine rewrites are always dangerous. How did this one go?

It's going pretty good, I'm just building itty bitty pieces and rewriting them completely if they don't fit at any point. I have the time so it's not so bad

Working with some shaders for post-processing effects. Taking damage, getting poisoned or picking up an invisibility kit will now have fancier effects than just a coloured gradient overlay (You may have realised that I took the thread link from my signature, I'm planning on making an entirely new devlog thread for new progress)

Hope to see that new devlog pop up soon! I really like this project.
