Star Ronin Demo · published · build 16187065
Hi everybody. The Demo's been out for a week now, looks like a fair number of folks have put it into their Library, and I've gotten a couple of comments thus far, both super-helpful!
The Demo's codebase was nearly a month behind the full game, so I've taken the time to update it and release a new build to try.
Features:
1. Better UI explanations of weapons, with some in-depth information about how they work. Better UI support for "which key do I hit to select my weapon", etc.; it should be a lot more intuitive to understand Dual-Wielding.
2. The Flashlight is standard gear (again). This is a starting item that I've gone back and forth about, largely because internal playtesters didn't appear to be using it. Also, don't forget that you can use Nightvision at the same time you're using
3. There are a few new weapons and Gadgets to play with, including the ability to build a Tachyon Injector, which gives you several seconds of Slow Time. It's a really cool mechanic, and the current version is probably OP, but whatever, it's the Demo, have some fun!
4. A bunch of boring optimizations for things like the trail system, so that cool explosions and other events don't drag down your FPS much.
Here's a gameplay video where I'm testing out one of the game-modes, and I'll talk a bit more about the Thermoptic Camoflauge system and a few other things.
