Some neat stuff is in the works for Exocide, I haven't posted much here and will make it a priority. However, I'll be making these dev updates short, sweet, shiny, and to the point. If you have any questions, concerns, or critique just post it here or in the discord, I'll get back to you asap! (Discord is usually faster) What's going on?: - Revamped and simplified HUD. The old one was a little raw, this seems to suit the game much better. Also RPG main weapon, which is not in the current Steam trailer. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41026855/ab39efa5322f476272c2a4054831097f7330e444.png[/img] - Added "Robot Arm - Auto Targeting" see both GIFs below to watch them at work. This will be optional and still is a WIP. - Added "Power Drifting" use your power reserves to double your speed and the cost of some control.

You now have an electronic flame thrower, it can deal damage to enemies and power up abandoned structures to help you out. It is the only weapon in the game that runs off your power reserves. [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/eQJy4V7RAFSQG7sbwe/giphy.gif[/img] - Added "Security Turrets" Boot these up using your power reserves. They can be found throughout most levels and in Trench Mode to provide assistance and covering fire.

A talented AI killer far beyond her expiration date. - Added "Sentry Turrets" Erect these to help out. ( This was a bug, max per level is undetermined ) I wanted to share the footage regardless. These turrets are lesser GENNI duplicates, earn memory cards to raise a small army in both Campaign and Trench Mode.

The system seen in the trailer has been replaced, more info on this will be made available soon. - Flying Enemies added. More footage on them available soon. - "Momma Mantis Boss" From the trailer has been wildly overhauled.[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41026855/519492c45da0366edae631459f3bd933991872bf.png[/img] - Engine Migration from UE-4.25 to the latest UE-4.27. This very likely means Exocide will run on UE5 post release. ( Filler Image of a forest ) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41026855/5330849dadded6a802fa9652eb03fb579e56f350.png[/img] - WIP: Main Menu, The Armory. This is not quite ready to share, but why not? Some sections are not present at the moment. This content is also subject to changes. Some unconfirmed features if you look closely. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41026855/9a05ef57cdd5f5e148cb09bee4e6758b47480b98.png[/img] - Youtube, get a slightly clearer look at the state of the gameplay, sub if you're feeling it.
