  Devlog #3: Story Mode Under Way

  Hi Everyone, small announcement for upcoming story mode and final gameplay changes. The arena/extraction/roguelite (from last devlog) was fun although quickly became extremely challenging with the various shooter raider enemies so it will be merged with the story mode. Arcade style gameplay will be merged with story mode Open world gameplay will be sorted out in to mutliple smaller compact maps Fast travel between the locations. Fast travel will be done by entering and exiting your car, although there will be no driving. Blackwater has been extended and will be a normal location (not just a management screen) Classic RPG style dialogues with NPCs will be added to the game. (as a means for story mode) The next version 0.2 will contain some of the story mode along with the repeating bounties. The game will be kept in early access for a short time until the story is finalized and i will still be taking requests if there are any. Thanks for your support!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44312194/e188e7d0ee99d379083faf9754ea5970bdc76632.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44312194/5a7aefe8b336ae4c036004d0464c51aa5e9c443b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44312194/fe5d9471c518ec28328856f7f31fbf5476478322.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44312194/2ab28c3d5a2226894ab00b6276c44b7c77656540.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44312194/b72c893ebb3fb39db2807cb5307ce7d62456c7a7.png

  Devlog #2: Gameplay Changes

  Hey everyone, I'd like to announce the changes I'm working on for WastePunk. Since pretty much everyone found the gameplay lackluster and not very engaging, I'm working on some major gameplay changes. From some distance I could probably imagine a game that you would like this to be, maybe sort of large scale game like fallout 4 - although that obviously isn't possible as I'm just 1 person working on it. I'm keeping the elements that based on feedback I think you enjoyed the most; which was arcade style combat - the shooter part of the game. The major changes will be moving to a sort of arena/extraction/roguelite gameplay which is turning out to be pretty fun. I am also changing the visual style to be more of a dark/retro post apo - as well as changing the main character. There will also be some major changes to the marketing material. To be completely transparent only about 100 people bought the game and even the people that sent positive reviews seem pretty on the edge - so that's why im making some drastic changes. Continuing on the original path just didnt make much sense. Really appreciate the support though and hope you'll like the new gameplay. Here's a quick devlog vid:
