What’s New?
This week, we’ve made many exciting updates to Rent-A-Bot. Here’s a quick rundown:
Adjusted Controls to allow throwing items over conveyor belts easier
Fixed the issue with items piling up and not being incinerated at the ends of conveyor belts
Overhauled the sound system for cleaner development
Created a new Main Menu screen that now utilizes a gamepad
Created new levels that introduce mechanics at a steadier pace
Added tutorial prompts and [Tutorial Man] to help players learn the game, name’s a work in progress
Balanced disaster frequency and win conditions based off recent playtests
Added tools to the toolbox, each tool being used for a specific disaster
Added particle effects for better visual feedback when interacting with machines
Improved level visuals and lighting
What’s the Motivation?
Our primary goal this week was to improve player guidance through more visual and audio feedback, a better tutorial prompt system, and a relatable [Tutorial Man] to help the player out. By dividing the resources, recipes, and disasters into their own levels we aim to increase the associations between different resources, machines, and their uses.
What’s Next?
For the next iteration, we’re planning to:
Add co-op disasters that require teamwork to overcome
Implement QTEs to add depth to di
Enhance player guidance
Add really juicy feedback and visuals
Collect tons more feedback from playtesters and the community
We’re always open to suggestions and feedback, so feel free to reach out!
