  Progress Update x2 (Gore & Gunplay) - Important Information!

  Hello everyone, I want to give an update on the state of the new update for Harbinger, lovingly named "Gore & Gunplay" First up, before I give a small Show and tell, some important information! The update is not cancelled. "Yay! Woohoo! Let's Go!" The update IS being delayed! "Awwwhhh...." I'm currently in the process of moving houses, so I'm not really able to work on it as much as I'd like to, Also considering I'm completely re-writing and restructuring most of the enemy ai from scratch, I'd also like to ensure they don't release dumber than a sack of bricks. I'm also tuning every gun to have a more unique feel to them, including the FD-79, or as the Main Story puts it ... "What the f*%&! is this?!" There's now a slight overheating/locking mechanic, due to the weapon's experimental nature, the coolant systems need to be engaged manually, as it will randomly lock up upon firing due to poor heat dispersal. (There's a new note in-game explaining it better..) That's just a small example. Another change ; all weapons have had their recoil significantly reduced when aiming and not aiming in. The balancing mindset is this ; Player isn't aiming : higher recoil, no aim sway. Player IS aiming : lower recoil, aim sway. Mind you, I'm still in the process of fine tuning everything, but take a look! : I'd like to note that while the changes are palpable in a visual sense, they're A LOT more evident in feel. Oh, did you see something else? Harbinger - Legacy Edition is getting an improved visual identity!(And yes, that IS the flashlight in Chapter 1.)At the current second, that's all that I would like to present! But there's so much more coming, and in due time, I'll give more previews of whats to come in this next update.1.6.1 - Gore & Gunplay is really going to be like a night and day difference for Harbinger - Legacy Edition. As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on what's in the kitchen.Speak again soon! - Asterik Games

  Gore and Gunplay Progress Report

  Hello everyone! A progress report today, as this next update is taking some time to finish up. I would like to start with mentioning achievements!I may, or may not have accidentally listed them as available before they can actually be earned.I would like to elaborate on this mistake ;They are planned, but they are not the main focus at the moment. This next update, as the name implies, is almost entirely focused on gun-play and enemy dismemberment. I will definitely incorporate achievements in their own exclusive update later down the line.Onto some of the main goals for Gore & Gunplay :Goal 1 : Improve enemy logic and reactionsMy main focus are on the most prominent enemies in Harbinger to make them more interesting to fight. Braindead Type A and B, Braindead Agents, and all Gun Cultists will have a new Gore and Stun system I've built from the ground up.Including better hit detection, stunning, head stress, etc. There are two possible ways you can stun Cultists and Braindead now ;Weak WeaponryIf an enemy is hit with a weak gun, like an smg or pistol, and it does enough damage, you'll stop them in their tracks. They'll be unable to move for a second. You can use this to your advantage and begin unloading your gun into their heads, which now have a stress system...the more shots from weak weaponry into their head, the more likely it will be to explode!Strong Weaponry to the TorsoIf an enemy is hit with a strong weapon, and the shot hit them in the torso but didn't kill them, it will throw them down to the ground for a moment, being out of the fight while they stand back up. Shoot them again and aim for a vital limb!Pictured ; Pistol Cultist Gore and Ai in testing environment (Thomsfield Vickers now obliterates like the handheld automatic cannon it was meant to be)Another part of this topic ; Enemy intelligence.I have rebuilt the enemy Ai from the ground up as well, as they currently use the relatively same Ai they had in Experimental Edition, this new Ai not only per...

  HARBINGER - Legacy Edition Version 1.6 "Revamped Menus" Release!

  Hello everyone! A smaller update here. I've heard various complaints about how the Game's menu UI is hard to really understand, as well as unorganized and messy. So I've decided to make a quick patch that overhauls the game's Pause and Main Menus to look better and be more cohesive. Here's a change-log of all the changes I've made to these UI's to help make them better. I've also made texture/scaling changes to NPC's and items. Pause Menu : Added a title that displays "GAME PAUSED" Renamed menu item "Return to Terror" to "Resume Game" Re-Organized menu items (Resume Game is at the top, Save Progress is above Load Progress, and finally, return to main menu is on the bottom.) Replaced the Blood Splatter background with a simple color gradient. All Menu buttons are on the side rather than smack-dab in the middle OLD PAUSE MENU AND NEW PAUSE MENU COMPARED. Main Menu : Moved all menu elements to the sideRe-organized Menu elements. Renamed Menu item "Quit to Desktop" to "Quit to Launcher" for transparency Replaced the static backgrounds with dynamic ones dependent on which chapter was chosen. (Infestation and Multiplayer backgrounds are still static for the time being) Both Main Menu and Pause Menu : Added launcher UI sound effects, and slight click effects on the menu buttons to make the menu's acknowledge your presence more, rather than being simple static text. OLD MAIN MENU AND NEW MAIN MENU COMPARED. In-Game : Replaced Note 2 in M3 of the Main Story to represent lore happenings Removed an accidental Quick Load and Quick Save feature from the modes that don't naturally support saving, which would lead to extremely broken game-play Fixed Pistol Ammo Boxes not having any textures in Cultist's Campaign in The Extraction. Changed the Scope Overlay for the SR-7G Rifle Replaced the texture of the SMG Ammo Boxes Due to over-all performance, VR's Instant Action counterpart has had slight re-designs Re-scaled NPC height to be more in-line with the player'sLauncher : Fixed Cent...

  Help Me Improve Harbinger! x2

  Hello everyone! Recently, the new 1.5 update released, and with that in tow, I acknowledge that my work is far from done, and there's always improvements to be made. Harbinger may be "Released", and at a point that I'm comfortable to say it's not early access, but I'd be lying if I said I don't constantly think about what could be done next. So I've revamped the Google Form to ask more questions, and allow for a higher amount of feedback than before! If you have the time, (and interest!) please fill out the form to help me understand what I could do to improve Harbinger - Legacy Edition. I look forward to everyone's feedback! https://forms.gle/ntsQTmRYptD2PWVw7 Thank you all for your continued interest in my passion project!
