Thanks :)

After 6.5 months of development, I finally took the time to create a simple main menu.

One of the last features for the alpha version!

SOON!

Thanks!
I also wrote 2 novels and I really want to have realistic behaviour in the game but I must control myself to not exaggerate all the options in the game :)

Implemented a bark system. Now, they talk! Included localization as well so they will annoy you in your own language!

Also, hunger and fatigue lead to slower movement.

Just a few days away from a first alpha version!

As always, lasers are the solution!

Well... if you have enough energy (which most likely you'll never have...)

But still... LASERS!

Reworked the task system and UI: Previously, humans were also at the outpost—now, only robots. Tasks can have requirements regarding robot type. Also created pickup tasks. Salvage destroyed robots, repair them, and use them.

Turns out that if your goal is to complete an alpha build but you keep adding features, the more you work, the further you get from your goal...

The entire time I implemented this, the ›Inspector Gadget‹ theme song played in my mind.

Anyways...

Using a stationary scanner grants permanent vision and scans the surroundings to detect approaching monsters. No surprises anymore!

Thanks!

Today, I created a new trailer for Frost Protocol.
Based on the tips of the GMTK video on YouTube.

What do you think?

Thanks, man!

I know my next milestone was set to 1 million wishlists, but I'm still happy to reach 300 with Frost Protocol!

Now let's pump those numbers up to 500!

Yeah, at first I thought, the monsters just wanted to play, but... well... no 😢

You should conquer with love - not weapons...

... but if you are up against mindless and deadly alien monsters, it's best to have your shields up.

Not really a trailer but a good overview of the gameplay and mechanics of Frost Protocol.

Strategy, survival, and tactical combat, inspired by games like This War of Mine, XCOM, and Starcraft.

No matter how dire the situation, eating and sleeping always help. Even if they're only eating air now...

YouTube video by FrostProtocol Frost Protocol - Atmospheric Survival Strategy Game - Gameplay (Early Alpha)

Some uncut gameplay of Frost Protocol, an atmospheric survival strategy game.

Roughly 5 months of development. Still a lot to do but I'm very happy with the progress.

Fine-tuning in the robot bay: repair or upgrade components, switch, remove, or add abilities, and abort or reorder jobs in the queue.

I removed individual health values for robot components (too complex and UI-heavy).

Working on enemy AI. The standard path sends them on a straight line to their target, which looked very unnatural.

Still far from finished, but it already looks much better.

Simple changes, great improvements!

Science Lab just got an update!
Everything ready for some research.

Also: I settled for 4 resources: Food, Medkits, Building Material, and Intel (discover more info for your next trip to the outpost).

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Mining Drone incoming!

Harvest alien ore and refine it into building material.

Defend your drones, secure your outpost.

Thanks! :)
Most fun part right now is developing more abilities for the robots. The code is in a good state so I can easily add new stuff

Currently working on my robot concept.

What I forgot to add to the video: Damage is applied individually to the 4 subsystems.

When damaged:
Head: less range
Arms: less damage
Core: abilities can't be used
Legs: less movement speed

A few days of playtesting - done!
A few days taking a creative break - done!

After 4 months of development, the picture is clearer. I implemented many systems and mechanics, but playtesting showed I don’t need them all.

Keep it simple!

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #strategy #gaming

I implemented character traits.

Ada has a Green Thumb - all activities related to plants are performed 20% faster.

Robert had no chance in this race...

#indiedev #gamedev #gaming #indiegame #survivalgame #strategygame #unity3d

New event: Spend time for an inspection or risk an overload.
Hidden possibilities are granted by character traits.

Step by step Frost Protocol becomes a real game. Nearly 4 months of development done.

I spend the last few days mostly on code refactoring, cleanup, and bug fixes... not very social media friendly content...

So here's a picture of my cat Sammy.

Hi, sure. Here's my Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/3706210/...

A new day - new problems, new dangers, new opportunities.
