McDROID has been in development since December 24th 2011, it was released in 2014 and last updated in 2020. If that's not labor of love I don't know what is so since this is the only category that such a old game can be voted for, press that vote button, por favor, s'il vous plait m'kay? Oh and latest in the Switch porting camp. Would you like to know more?
One of you (@supernet2) showed me how fun co-op can be so, for the next few days, I'll try something different: · Old build with CO-OP by default moved to the main branch (with minor fixes and + Asia region). · NEO build with the new engine, single player and all the fixes for the NX VERSION into the "n-e-o" branch. Let me know how it goes. If you have a Switch and want to play McDROID on it yo…
Wow that was a weird one! After playing (and dying) in that funky Arena you can no longer play the game: you'd get snow then crash until you reset progress. Here is what was happening: Arena 4 had its exit spawn in the wrong place, as a result McD was being respawned in the closest location which was near level 1, but on certain machines the respawn was throwing poor lil macky to infinity and b…
I fixed the DLC bug and waves bubbles not popping, in the process. Also, after talking and playing co-op with one of you, I decided to make a little experiment: always on co-op. You can access it in the BETA>public beta and if it works I'll push it to the co-op branch or maybe *maybe* the main branch. Report all bugs (bugs?!) following this post: If you want to chat and talk next game and choic…
Why this update after so long? Well I got a surprise for ya! As you all know McDROID is very taxing even on a powerful PC. Now imagine how mad someone would have to be to port it to a mobile console like, say, the Switch... it would just melt. Well lucky you, I'm mad and you're getting the sweet fallout of this mad enterprise: improved engine, improved graphics, improved controls and no more bu…
The other day I wanted to play co-op but no one was on the server so I looked on the photon website and was shocked: A maximum ccu of 3 means that if you want to play co-op, you need to sync with your friends via steam chat. This means that the auto discovery and other complicated lobby features are no longer useful and co-op in general is beyond marginal. Co-op code doubles my dev time and it…
Imagine how cool McDROID would be on the Nintendo™ Switch! It's a mountain of work to optimize and balance this game for the Switch so I'm starting a Kickstarter to raise money. It launches on 07-07-2020. If you have a Switch and want to help out, click on the preview link and then on Thank you!
Bugs can be cute, some eat your strawberries and others won't let you play co-op. So I pushed an old build that used to work fine in co-op. To access it, go to McDROID properties in Steam, click the beta tab and chose the co-op build. Make sure your friend also play this build or they won't connect to your game and let me know if this works here: On another note, if you own a Switch or know som…
And because it's my birthday I added a fabulous present hat that shoots out diamonds! If you want to get me a present, send coins to BTC: 1M8YuC7Bv7Jiz8qc7aXDyM63sno7J1rzxv BCH: 17ZZGQM8MwQFKCWNMaWQPXe1fQJdraw3vX DASH: XasBLMfxpDYJdeKcCwY6u1Wt73vAina8H5 ETH: 0x76705d647e0268e1789e534ce0bc4c46fd446a15 DOGE (man's best friend): DSL2sbvWrfYaCfaZchNE1niLdWv84JqLio RIPPLE: rJjhUfj9cafqUcDcVgHM8fQYX3…
Today is my birthday, no it's not but it's Eminem's birthday, and also it's Ivo of Kermartin's which is a very cool name and a saint of Brittany (hello to all our Briton friends). So I made a promo sale that will start on the 23rd. Also, as promised, and with appropriate Valve-like delay, here is the first DLC ever for McDROID. If you bought McDROID early you don't need it, it unlocks the 3 lev…
Ladies and Gentlemen, I know I was saying Souls was the last update but there was something bothering me. See, back in 2014 and 2015 I made several levels for the players who were good to us and bought the game early, I gave these levels for free. The levels ranged from wacky experiment to intricate new gameplay mechanic. Now some people have been asking for new levels so I've decided to make t…
Hello everyone! This is the final update! It's got Japanese language - FINALLY!! Thanks Greener to that (Since I don't read Japanese he might have added pranks in there.) A few players were complaining that the game had become too easy so I added difficulty "SOULS" and this is the new default. Beating level 13 in SOULS took me 7 tries when normally I finish it glancing at the screen every now a…
Hello everyone. A big news for us: our first game was just launched on PS4 and XBOX 1. The port was done by Grip Digital and they made it run at a smooth 60fps @1080p, you'll recognize the store front artwork by the excellent Greener. If you own these consoles you can get it there: XBOX1: PS4: Wish us luck that the console is a success.
Quick patch for some long forgotten achievements: - uzumaki now works - new gummy bear achievement that you can do in the gummy bear (gelatinous cub) arena - also a gummy bear head as prize for this achievement. - level 2 has less boring pause between waves - small shell loot is much easier to destroy
Flew back from Honduras yesterday, it was amazing! Swimming with dolphins, monkeys crawling on my head and big spiky dogs. It's nice to re connect with nature. And I just looked at the sales figures and the 2 weeks birthday sale was a really good surprise, selling far more than any steam sale ever did. So thank you for the birthday gift :) That super motivated me and I just finish tending to a…
That's right, 5 Jan is birthday time! And with that, I added a new arena filled with Zombies, based on the MJ level, the arena is filled with not 20 waves, not even 30 waves, but with infinity waves. No winning thins one :D
A quick patch to fix a bug where the missiles blew up near McD, and also excised the code that clipped the cursor to some unreasonable low res, on some machine. That last one was legacy code to handle multi screen, no longer necessary.
Howdy do! I just main-branched the new level. New Level: -THIS IS THRILER: Save The King Of Pop himself after he got lost in a rather inauspicious cemetery! Don't let him turn into a ghoul or at least try to convert him back. Co-staring Murr and Q -FARMVILLE: New environment placed in a farm where most of the population is 6 feet under. -ZOMBIES & CO: New enemies -SHEEPLE: Humans follow flags,…
I just finished the Halloween special. It is called "Thriller Night" and Michael Jackson is in it . New game mechanic: protect and herd farmers , save them from turning into zombies and escort your humans to rescue zone (a schoolbus) . Also removed all unachievable achievements and coded McSamurai, so now you can reach 100% achievement. If you want to test drive the new level, it's in the beta…
But maybe tons of things broke? As I'm preparing to release a new level that take advantage of these improvements, I count on you to check in the beta branch (Properties>Betas) and play "about bliss", "too many berries" and "anti bliss". So What's in this beta's menu: · Big fat optimization in the pathing. What that means is no more bots waiting around, they now respond instantly to commands, a…
I just pushed a build that fixes a few regressions and also tunes the look in ways that makes things clearer when you're assaulted by 100 monsters. Also the viewID updated by themselves by magic, thanks to photon being a mystery box, this may solve some of the glitches you guys are seeing in co-op. Note: You should be able to play only games with the same version, if for some reason that's not…
Unleash Santa's true pawa in this Christmas Special DLC! Santa is held prisoner by SOMANTO corp, a sacrifice to the mutated worms and spiders that live within the planet, or maybe because they're just a bunch of dicks. So here you are, McDROID, saving the children of the world, or the merchants if you're into that stuff. So go go GOO and Free Santa, then walk him around like puppy. Also build s…
It's giant! It's angry! It lays all sorts of nasty eggs! Will it be your burger lunch or will it crush you? Defeat the Giant Turkey King and acquire a hat made of turkey feathers (with moving eye) as well as the beak of the beast! This level will unlock only to those who purchase the game by December 3nd. (Extended it one day to be fair to all the time zones)
We have been CoD-ing McDro! Now the first few levels give you more hints on the game mechanics which make it so simple that, even if you have played Call of Duty all your life rigged to a CoD brain washing machine, you can play McDroid! Also, in the spirit of adventure of our forefather, and their fore fore fore fathers, we offer you what all forefather dreamed off while invading, uh I mean exp…
Level "Too many berries" was insane. As soon as you land, spawners started attacking you with swarms of enemies. That was a strange bug with prefabs reseting values behind our back. This is fixed so no longer will there be an insane difficulty cliff. Also lots of cosmetic changes to make the UI more readable, and a few fixes off course. Hope you enjoy.
