Synthesis - Version 0.1 Update


Feature additions:

  • Added a "Set Volume" prompt when first booting up the game, this does not show up on subsequent boot-ups.
  • Added fully functional Main Menu with volume options.
  • Holding C now allows you to merge back with your slimes.
  • Eating now slows your movement, encouraging you to take cover before doing so.

Tweaks and fixes:

  • The Intro Animatic now transitions to the Main Menu automatically.
  • Left Clicking no longer skips the Intro Animatic -- Instead ESC, Spacebar, or Return.
  • Fixed Intro Animatic not playing any music.
  • With the addition of the Main Menu, there is now a proper way to quit to desktop.
  • Game no longer starts with the camera fully zoomed in, or with Mouse Sensitivity/Volume options defaulted to 0.
  • Losing all of your health as the only slime no longer soft locks the game -- A "Game Over" was supposed to pop up and send you back to menu, this is now working again.
  • Shadows are no longer missing.
  • Fixed ejecting trash sometimes not working.
  • Fixed spreading not working when getting too big.
  • Adjusted size threshold for being able to climb, it is now much more lenient.
  • Robots now attack.

Issues to be aware of:

  • Slime-splitting and swapping can cause trash to go completely wack.
  • Ejecting shipping containers can launch them into the stratosphere.

Planned changes and additions:

  • Revise slime minion commands to be more intuitive, and allow them to attack.
  • Properly incorporate trash into the level, rather than just being scattered everywhere.
  • Ability to eat/eject robots.
  • Top half of robots explode after defeat, can be grabbed and ejected like a grenade if quick.
  • Robots respawning.
  • More SFX & VFX.
  • The Factory & Powerplant.
  • And more.
