Weekly BD Update - 28th November

Hello there drones...

Here's your WEEKLY UDPATE!

1️⃣ TIMING BETWEEN ENEMY WAVEs

We've been doing some tweaks to the amount of time players will have between waves of enemies to restock ammunition and purchase weapon and drone upgrades without interference from aggressive A-EYE enemy drones! We needed to make sure that the time between waves is long enough that a player has time to gather resources if they need, however, if they venture too far from a shop they may miss the opportunity to restock or add to their arsenal before the next wave... This creates a risk-reward dynamic, where venturing far from the shop will provide unique upgrades and perhaps a favorable combat environment, but may risk being stranded with limited resources!

2️⃣ CAMERA ANGLE AND DISTANCE

We have also been experimenting with the camera, specifically the distance from the player drone and the angle at which the environment is observed. We achieved a distance that allows players to see threats before they arise, and an angle that allows for unobstructed view of the battlefield, as well as intuitive and natural navigation throughout the map.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK GUYS!

What's up guys!

WEEKLY UDPATE here we go...

1️⃣ RANDOM POWERUP DROP BALANCING


Players can receive certain power ups from fallen meteor fragments of extraterrestrial energy called meteoroids. These can only be found once the player reaches the mid to late stages of the game and provide a much needed boost to damage given the increase in late stage game difficulty! We've made these power ups feel like a short burst of dazzling devastation, to do this they had to be dropped infrequently enough to avoid overpowering the player, keeping their potent impact on gameplay.

2️⃣ MARKET SHIFT PLANNING

Now that the markets are finally seeing movement once again, we've been planning on next steps to captialze as much as possible! We cant reveal too much about what we have planned just yet, but things are looking up for the whole community!

TAKE CARE!

Weekly BD Update - 11th December

Hey DRONE GANG!

Here's your WEEKLY UDPATE...

1️⃣ ANIMATION TIMING

We tweaked some of the timing involved with certain animations once an action is taken by the player, this was done to tighten the controls and increase the kinetic sensation/feeling of connection when controlling a battle drone. changing the time taken to perform certain animations also had a sllight impact on balancing which needed to be accounted for when making these changes.

2️⃣ MARKETING PLAN

We are planning our next steps to capitalize on the greatly awaited pump in the market! this involves planning a comprehensive marketing plan that targets gamers and crypto enthusiasts alike. We've learned a lot from marketing the game in the past and plan to take the most successful strategies and apply them to our next campaign.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

2️⃣ TARGET MARKET RESEARCH

I our previous marketing campaigns we've found it very important to target the correct demographics for maximum effectiveness when marketing a game. Our target audience will shift and become larger now that we are moving to the mobile platform and we cant wait to gather a larger community of BATTLE DRONES pilots!

Hello drones across the globe!

Here's todays dose of the WEEKLY UPDATE!

🎮 MOBILE GAME BALANCING

We have been focusing solely on balancing the mobile version of the game, which needs to be tailored to the unique challenges associated with touch screen controls. In saying this, the game has been ported to mobile surprisingly smoothly and the gameplay translates in am amazing way to the new platform. Balancing and bug fixing have been the main focus of our playtest, we have identified ways we can upgrade the experience and make sure it is rock solid come release!

Weekly BD Update - 12th February

Good day DRONE GANG!

Lets start the week strong with yet another UPDATE!

1️⃣ MOBILE UI OVERHAUL

Through our rigorous game testing phase that took place last week, we discovered that some buttons were slightly too cluttered within the user interface, making select important gameplay maneuvers tricky to pull off. We went back to the drawing board and figured out a way to simplify, streamline and minimalize the UI for a mobile phone, allowing players ease of use when selecting a desired action.

2️⃣ STRATEGIC PLANNING

After getting our hands on the game on mobile, our confidence has grown even more about our game becoming a big hit within the mobile market. This has lead us to begin discussions about a potential shift in our strategy - one focused first and foremost on acquiring users and building community. Stay tuned for further announcements coming soon!

EXCITING TIMES AHEAD!

2️⃣ ACCOUNT CREATION

In order to collect information for the play test we needed to create a page for players to set up a BATTLE DRONES account using their email address and unique password. We also Implemented an account wallet address manager for later down the track when players will be linking their digital wallets to their BATTLE DRONES account!

Weekly BD Update - 4th March

Another big week for the DRONE GANG!

Here's your latest UPDATE...

1️⃣ MOBILE ECONOMY BALANCE

We've been rigorously playtesting this week and have completely overhauled in in-game economy of Red Rock Resistance. Now players can access crucial weapons and upgrades at a pace that is challenging, rewarding and most importantly, fun! Player progression is crucial in this genre of games and we're making sure the player consistently experiences an increase in power, keeping them excited for the next big upgrade!

2️⃣ MOBILE GAMEPLAY VISUALS

Visual information relating to gameplay such as the visibility of player and enemy attacks was greatly altered with the switch to a smaller screen. We tweaked a few key visuals in order for important gameplay information to be easily recognized by the player and can react appropriately in order to best position themselves for a high score!

THANKS EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Weekly BD Update - 11th March

What's up TEAM!

Here's a freshly squeezed UPDATE for ya...

1️⃣ LATEST FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTATION


In our latest feedback round we've made some larger decisions surrounding several mechanics in order to simplify the gameplay experience, making sure that first time players do not feel overwhelmed by visual information and can see the game for what it is at it's core - blowing up big drone baddies with an even bigger gun! We've found a way to decrease the amount of buttons on screen, whilst also increasing the functionality of the original game. This surrounds the implementation of throwables, deflecting, and dashing mechanics, allowing for more precise control and a cleaner interface.

2️⃣ BUG FIXING

Game development is tricky, every time we make changes to design of the game there's always potential for some new bugs to rear their pesky heads. Unfortunately the process of ensuring the game is bug free on launch is time consuming and on-going, however we make solid progress every week to ensure pain free gaming fun on release!

ALL THE BEST!

Weekly BD Update - 18th March

Hey guys!

Once again, the update is upon us...

1️⃣ OPTIMIZING LATENCY

We noticed a few hiccups in regards to latency on the mobile version of the game, particularly when running several different apps simultaneously. We've been have to test certain apps to pinpoint the cause of this loss of latency and ensure we maintain a reasonably high and consistent frame rate from early-game to end-game.

2️⃣ STEAM VERSION TESTING

Although we've had more of a focus on the mobile version, we've also begun testing and balancing for the steam (PC) version of the game. This is present different challenges, however due to the more powerful hardware at the average PC gamers disposal, the process has been progressing smoothly without the same latency issues we're fixing on mobile.

TAKE CARE AND HAVE AN EXCELLENT WEEK!

Howdy drone SQUADRON!

Here's the latest...

1️⃣ WALLET INTEGRATION


This week we've made progress on research and development of wallet integration for BATTLE DRONES: Red Rock resistance. we are currently working on creating a pathway to connect a wallet that becomes linked to the users ID, allowing players to connect their digital wallet to their BATTLE DRONES account. With future installments this functionality will allow the player to access unique NFT related items.

2️⃣ BATTLE DRONES ACCOUNT FUNCTIONALITY

We've begun work to improve account functionality within Red Rock Resistance. Ideally we want players to have be able to stay logged in for a certain period after their initial creation and sign in of their BATTLE DRONES account whilst maintaining a high standard of security. This is to reduce the time players spend typing letters and increase the time blowing stuff up!

HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK EVERYONE!

❤️ @everyone

Weekly BD Update - 1st April

HAPPY EASTER high flying folk!

The weekly update has just arrived...

1️⃣ TOUCH CONTROL / GAMEPLAY FUNCTIONALITY

We've been fine tuning functionality surrounding certain gameplay actions and how they work on a touch screen device, mainly surrounding the aiming and throwing of grenades. These actions need to feel responsive and precise whilst also remaining as small an on-screen button as possible to avoid cluttering the user interface.

2️⃣ USER INTERFACE TUNING

This week we've reworked all mobile / touchscreen UI to work universally on devices small and large from account creation to in-game menus. This change has tied together the mobile version very nicely and we cant wait for you all to see this fully fledged mobile release!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

❤️ @everyone

Weekly BD Update - 8th April

What's goin on FELLERS!

Let's start the week with a good old update...

1️⃣ INTERACTION INPUT LAG FIXED


We encountered an issue in testing relating to input lag when trying to interact with certain objects, including ammo air-drops and meteoroid fragment power-ups. It's crucial for a player to be able to access these items when caught in a sticky gameplay situation, however a tiny amount of input lag was making these scenarios that much more difficult. We have since reduced the time it takes to collect resources from these interactable objects giving more power to the player in these tense moments.

2️⃣ GAMEPLAY BALANCING

With community testing coming up we've been exploring ways to greatly improve the gameplay loop with minor adjustments. we've further tweaked a few key variables such a specific weapon damage, in-game economy and even the speed of certain enemies and attacks, finding the right balance of accessible, challenging and rewarding.

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK GUYS!

2️⃣ GENERAL GAME UPDATES

Before giving our community access to the mobile version, we made every effort to get it to as finished a state as possible, this meant tweaking the UI in menus, fixing issues with account creation/verification, and even adding SFX when players dash into an immovable object in-game. We really think this creates an immersive and comprehensive experience on mobile. You be the judge!
