Just a quick note to say we are hard at work on trying to utilise Vaccine in our project at the moment, hence we haven't worked on anything else and won't be till we have controller support implemented.

Just a quick note to say we are hard at work on trying to utilise Vaccine in our project at the moment, hence we haven't worked on anything else and won't be till we have controller support implemented.
Update:
Tonight we sorted controller support! Tested with PS4 and Xbox 360 controllers and working perfectly due to the awesome Vaccine.
I will be uploading a time lapse style video of two hours of the development process soon.
Finished adding controller support to all the menu's now and started working on the card designs for the collections screen.
I present to you Mister Trumped XD

Being trying to scrub up on my Duke Nukem impressions lol, anyway here is a look at the new voice work added with over 15 different phrases in the game now.

V4 is now here!
It has taken longer to bring this out than I wanted but unfortunately I am just recovering from a mouth infection because of one of my Wisdom Teeth.

Character cards which offer different perks and change how you look
improvements to enemies both in behaviours and gfx
Lots more audio SFX added
Weapon upgrades
Random events added to each level to make playing it feel fresh
lots of bug fixing
Loads more voice over work
improved menu's and UI
New enemies
You can download the new version here:

COMPETITION TIME!
Win a copy of Alien Scumbags now! http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/56b5c8071/?
Entered :) , I would have promoted your game regardless. From it's humble beginnings, it's turned into something really awesome :)
Thanks I really appreciate the kind words, it's got a long way to go till it's finished but V4 has really made it a much more solid game. Btw also just finished the official trailer. https://youtu.be/1ZkwOc7wr7Y
Ok so it looks like we have to start distancing ourselves from the Aliens look in order to be more commercially viable and avoid copyright infringement :(
As soon I have been working on a new design for the aliens which is more like a mutated body horror style idea.
I would love to hear your comments as moving away from the black alien enemy designs was not something I wanted to do.

more working on the Alien replacements.

I personally prefer the 2nd one but would be good to hear your thoughts too.
Just a quick one, we are coming to the final 3 days of our prize giveaway and you could win 1 of 3 keys for Alien Scumbags.

Update
Well 3 winners have been emailed and now it's back to working on Alien Scumbags.
Unfortunately I have just gotten out of hospital after nearly and a 5 hour emergency operation hence the lack of updates.
Anyway just a few small bits tonight.
Firstly the new enemy is in.
I have changed the face huggers into spiders instead but they still work in the same way.
Finally added my usual blur effect, have to have this in everything as love how it looks.
Hopefully this distances us from the Alien IP just enough.

Update
So finally starting to feel like myself since surgery and back onto working on Alien Scumbags.
An important new addition that I have now added is the ability to restart the level when you die by losing 500 points.

V4.1 has now been released and includes new enemy designs as above, as well as new music and features.
Hope you like it.

Update:
The resolution has been raised again to make it more workable meaning Master Chef has gotten a little smaller again, the more zoomed out look makes the game feel a little less pixelated and also helps tidy up the UI and the menu's.
Finished work on the intro/briefing last night.
https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images...8/briefing.png
Finally took the plunge and started a new menu system which will allow me to add more guns, below is a couple of development videos of progress made.

C4 gun is in and just playing around with how it works at the moment, take a look below to see it in action.
https://youtu.be/GG-8hjjxJLQ
I can't fix the above so here it is again as it should show up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG-8hjjxJLQ
Explosions are now working properly for the C4 bombs which you can see below:
https://preview.ibb.co/dLyEU9/C4boom.png
Super excited to show you the finished intro complete with our new original Halo style theme song!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pejbTGyvAho
All 4 guns are now in the game, each one will have it's own specific uses which will be taught to the player in the earlier levels when each gun is introduced.
Was hoping to have an update out already but unfortunately something went wrong when we tried to add the C4 gun (now called the R.B.F.G.) which caused all levels after level 2 to not work correctly :(
We are devoted to finishing Alien Scumbags and releasing it on Steam so aiming to get this finished now by early 2019.
We are running a Black Friday deal this Friday too, Alien Scumbags will have 75% off on Gamejolt.

Big news!
I have done a whole new lighting system for Alien Scumbags and after working closely with the amazing developer of Eagle Island I have really transformed the look of Alien Scumbags into something I think it's pretty damn cool, hopefully you guys agree also.

New lightning looks much better. Gives more flair!
Thanks I agree it really makes the game look better than just dull dark corridors.Quote:
