Thank you for giving a bit more detail on the combat. Don't know if it will fit, but did you consider to implement a dodge chance along with the skill success chance?

I like the the button middle with the headset and the middle right displaying the full name.

@JoPed We are 100% focused to get this out...as long as they don't turn off our electricity (our #1 bill to be paid...)

That sounds really good, I will look forward to playing it.

The new water system looks very nice, I like the video from update #4. 

Haha, okay 

You call that a failed attempt? 

Your are very welcome!

That sounds good, but also understandable that you are waiting to see the success on pc.

I will definitely follow the development progress on this one. 

Is it only coming to windows and macOS, or are you going on consoles? Because I could see working really well on consoles.

Normally I would never play A game it that genre, but the graphics make me wanna play this! 

Also on a somewhat unrelated side note, games are never really 100% finished . But I really hope this gets published. 

The top image looks totally nice!

And as mentioned by @bombjack the idea of mixing those genres, but would also like a bit more info on the combat 

The game logo looks pretty awesome
Also I like the fact that the graphics remind me of the good old pokémon games.

Devlog #1

The Game
In Service of Country is a 2D action platformer primarily focused on local multiplayer, though we want to add online multiplayer as well. We have planned three game modes for the game

• Capture the flag.
• Gunplay
• Capture the flag with GunPlay

All three modes will have different game types for example a game type could be last-man standing, first to ten or time attack.

In capture the flag 2-4 players fight for the briefcase [the flag], when a player collect the briefcase, they need to deliver it at one of the extraction points.

 

In Gunplay 2-4 players fight with guns that is spawned around the level. Players will not be spawned with a gun, but can pick them up. Each guns have different fire stats and cannot be reloaded. If ammo run out, pick up a new gun. In this mode, the game will add twin-stick control, since the players aim with the right analog stick.

The Game-play
Run, jump, dash, shoot [only gunplay and combined game mode], collect/deliver briefcase [only ctf and combined game mode] and collect power-ups to beat your competition.

Other news
In other news we had a team member attend Sweden Game Conference back in October, thanks to GameHub Denmark. SGC is a totally awesome place to go, if you are a smaller indie company looking for feedback on a game in development.

We got a lot of feedback, and tweaked a lot of smaller things  and did a redesign of the wall jumping system to make it feel better and give the players better control.

On a finishing note you can expect new a update biweekly - next scheduled update is Friday December 8th.
