On the updates menu this time · Improvements and fixes, waaaaay too many to list! · Multiplayer bots · Support for Simplified Chinese, Spanish, German, Dutch · Steam achievements and cloud saves We’re keeping the last chunk of the game for the final release which will happen i…
Howdy! We're hoping summer is treating you well! Apologies for going dark for a while but we needed to dig in the game, rehaul everything we deemend "unworthy"and integrate all the "meta" progression in the adventure mode. As a result the list of changes is just too long to post. Also, we...ehr.... did a poor job at writing it down as we went ^^. Long story short, this update is all about · pol…
Howdy! This update took a bit longer to get there but for good reason! It's the single biggest update we did to BOMBSLINGER! The change list is pretty huge and covers things like procedural enemy generation, a new environment with new enemies, player stats, rehauled loaoud screen, better UI, more music tracks, and much more! Things like item drops, leveing upgrades and snake oil potions have be…
Howdy! We’re demoing Bombslinger at EGX Rezzed in London this week! We’re super happy to be there and we figured an update and a short sale would be a good way to celebrate! If you're in London, come and say hi! This updated improves the controls based on the feedback you guys have been providing us with. There's still a little bit of work there but we think we're close! Enjoy the update and le…
Howdy! Update number 10! It's a chunky one! We've been polishing and optimizing the game lately, improving the handling of the items and giving the audio some love. We also added a consumable item slot to allow the Bombslinger to carry more stuff around. We feel this update marks a good increase in the overall level of polish. Two more weeks of polish ahead before moving on to finishing the pro…
Howdy! We took these last few weeks to rehaul the multiplayer component of the game and make it a much more enjoyable experience! Hopefully you'll find way more polished, stable and feature-rich. We're voluntarily keeping it simple in terms of games modes with an Quake-inspired deathmatch mode and a classic Last man standing one. We also heavily reduced the memory usage of the game. Let us know…
HOWDY! A new update is live. We played around with the in-game UI layout to make it more pleasant and readable. We still want to improve part of it but the feedback on the spirit required to use special items is more readable now (as in, "there is feedback now" ^^). Trading cards, badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds are also in validation so they should be available super soon. This is th…
HOWDY! BONJOUR! BUONGIORNO! We just pushed an update! We added-fixed-tweaked as expected but the standout features this time are the French / Italian localizations and new cool looking boss arenas. Localization-wise, more languages are incoming (Dutch and German are next!) and we'd like Bombslinger to be eventually available in as many languages as we can manage to find translators in. ^^ We're…
Howdy! We just pushed a new big update on BOMBSLINGER. This one mostly focuses on completely revamping the progression system and making the whole game flow a lot better (we think ^^). We also added several new items and resources, making runs waaaay more varied, we improved the intro, we fixed many bugs and improved the game all-round. There still is a lot of work and polishing to be done but…
Howdy! Let us start by slinging out a heartfelt thank you to all those who played and streamed Bombslinger in the past few days! You're providing us with tons of valuable feedback. Thank you! Grazie! Dank u! Merci! This is just a quick note to let you know that we're working on a new update that will add new content and tweaks based on what we gathered from Bombslinger playthroughs around the n…
Howdy! This update focuses on improving the levels and rooms for better diversity, especially in the Death Valley level. note : the game might be, maybe, possibly, quite super hard right now. Change log: · Reworked the level generation rules for bigger Death Valley and Black Woods levels · Improved enemy diversity in Death Valley · Increased the item prices in shops · Removed the boss music tem…
Howdy! This is one important update for Bombslinger! We improved the level flow to make progression faster. The whole expertience will require further balancing but we think it's more enjoyable already. We also added chaining a new boss, new audio tracks, a new shop (about time!) and much more! Change log: · New levels structure and balancing · A new boss awaits in the forest · Combo and chains…
Howdy! This update took a little longer than our regular 2-week cycle but for good reason: Multiplayer battles and the Black Woods forest are here \o/ MULTIPLAYER We fixed a bunch of issues with the 4-player multiplayer battles and we think they're now solid enough to be moved to the main branch. You'll be able to play: · DEATMATCH : stronger, faster, meaner than your average bomber style game.…
Hi! We posted a new article on IndieDB detailing how we came up with the art of Bombslinger, how we made it work with our team setup and how in some cases it kind of turned out to be a headache :D Let us know if you'd like to know more!
