TOXICANT, Operation Hardcore DLC plans

Operation Hardcore

Operation Hardcore is an action-packed 2D side-scrolling shooter inspired by classic twitchy action games of yesteryear, but with modern touches and conveniences.

Hi folks, First off, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's picked up the game! Operation Hardcore has been my best-selling game so far, and I really do appreciate the support. I also wanted to let you know about my next game: TOXICANT, a first-person survival-horror with roguelike elements (permadeath, randomized levels, etc.). I liken it to a cross between Spelunky and Outlast, both of which are definite influences for me.

Secondly, I've been toying with the idea of doing some DLC for Operation Hardcore for a while now, and I wanted to gauge interest. The DLC would be largely standalone (i.e. a separate "episode"), and likely single player, as many of the things I want to do simply don't translate well to local co-op. Some of the ideas I'm kicking around: [list] [*]Halloween-themed [*]more inspiration from early DOS action games (Bio Menace, Halloween Harry), perhaps even an FM/AdLib soundtrack [*]a little more "open", i.e. scrolling in all directions, ladders, jetpacks, rooms that can be entered, interconnected areas, etc. [*]dual-wielding, more pickups, new weapons [/list] I'm currently debating whether I tackle this next, or continue on with TOXICANT.
