This week:
Bull Worms
Housekeeping
Bull Worms
So the desert, being its own biome, has to come with its own sets of challenges. As seen in the old builds, it's a high temperature zone so your robot needs to stay out of the sun to prevent overheating. But that's only during the day. During the night there were no dangers! Until now.
The bull worms are adult stage larva that grow into these enormous and aggressive nocturnal beings. They (although I think I'll only have 1) come out at night and immediately snake towards the player. You can't outrun them but you can outsmart them and curve around their movements. Still they are highly challenging and may definitely require a couple surfboard boost upgrades to make it easier for you. All you can do is run away.
This means the desert biome is just a transitory biome for the next biome, the forest biome! But before I do that I will be adding a few more caves and exploration zones here and there. Especially those filled with splats and larva puzzles!
Housekeeping
This is just a collection of things I did. Namely:
Sky now has clouds
Added more wind zones to prevent skipping parts of the canyon biome
Added decorations to canyon biome
Various bugfixes
Preparations for Forest Biome
Preparations for VR
Also the Steam page is ready and LIVE and ready for wishlisting! I will be making a big YouTube video this week to tell the whole world.
Stay tuned!
