OVERLOAD EARLY ACCESS UPDATE {FINAL UPDATE FOR THE DEMO}. OUT NOW!!! https://clone-creations.itch.io/overload-early-acces

The early access update, what will it contain?

IMPORTANT STUFF:

-This is NOT the final update for overload itself, just for the demo, what I will be doing is taking a break from developing overload, a really long one to be exact.

GRAPHICAL/ SOUND OVERHAUL:

-New background, a red sky instead of a white one, for a more comfortable view.

-New font, hand made in scratch’s vector sprite maker, giving an overall better look to the game.

-No more costume flickering, the player now doesn't flicker between standing and sliding anymore.

-Hitstop + screenshake, hitstop was there but now it looks better, screen shake has also been added for more engaging gameplay with cooler effects.

-2.5D effect, the level now has a 2.5D effect for a better look!

MEMORY USAGE:

-The overload file went from 26 MB to 3,2 MB due to sound compressing, a special thanks to Prodforer for helping me with that.

-Lag reduction, scripts were changed to reduce lag, increasing FPS and making hits more responsive.

GAMEPLAY FLOW:

-Difficulty increases over time, enemies now spawn less randomly and have an actual order, vehicles and bosses are more balanced, damage and difficulties are more balanced now too.

-Guide, there is now a better and clearer tutorial explaining how to play the game.

WEAPONS:

-Weapon overhaul, basically all weapons got overhauled, with looks or special techs for a weapon, you now have an actual arsenal instead of just the split shot with projectile boosting (Projectile boosting is from this game all credit for that idea goes there: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/).

BUG FIXES/IMPROVEMENTS:

-Collision, colliding with the level is now buttery smooth, same for the enemies. (Prodforer, made this all credit goes to him).

-No more enemies after the boss, enemies now actually spawn after the boss instead of bugging out.

-Enemy keeps dying, the enemy doesn't insta die or keep dying now anymore (Again thanks to Prodforer for telling me this).

-Weapons, the charge guns now actually deal damage instead of healing the enemy, your whole arsenal now flows together with one another, meaning every weapon can be used to chain a combo with other weapons.
