Dereliction 2022: November 25th 2022 Update

Version 0.1.36 of Dereliction is now available

What's in the update: 

• Player melee has been improved, now has block ability
• First levels have their own unique look and layouts
• bugs level as difficulty progresses
• player has more control over their upgrades and stat levels

Hello everyone, Fury here, It’s been awhile since the last update (a month of work has been added to the game) so here’s what we’ve been working on.

Player Melee & block:

There’s some new melee mechanics that we’ve added. You can now block and melee, you can block and shoot as well. We’re hoping adding new things like this will make things feel less punishing because when you take damage to your health you have the potential to lose certain upgrades like your scanner and such.

Area themes:

We’re working on putting out themes for every level, making things more concise and trying to do some environmental storytelling and the like. Level ones theme is done now onto the next one!

Enemy Upgrades & levels:

There’s now a difficulty multiplier for the level of the bugs, their armour and their swarm size. There’s also more variants of bugs as the difficulty increases, just to make things more fun so the player doesn’t feel too overpowered as you upgrade.

Upgrades & Stats:

We’ve been working on the workshop upgrade system, it’s a slow process, but it’s going fairly well so far. The player can upgrade their speed, how much armour you can pick up, and lots of upgrades for your weapons. There are essentially item slots for your weapon. With a level one gun you can upgrade it five times, then when you hit level two you can upgrade it three more times. We hope to make a broad upgrade system with lots of types of guns and upgrades. It’ll take some time, but we look forward to adding lots of fun stuff for y’all to enjoy!

Dereliction is now on Steam:

We also have our steam page up so everyone can wishlist it, check out whats new, and the demo will be up there too (soon) Here is the link: Store.steampowered.com

Thank you all for your continued support to this project, it means the world to us. We’re looking forward to lots of updates as soon as possible. I look forward to sharing more features in the next update, thank you for your support, time, and interest in our game.  ~Fury
