Devlog 2: Dialogue, Dragonflies, and Gravity Bombs

Hey everyone!

It’s time for another Rust & Rage update, and I’ve got some exciting new additions and tweaks to share. The game is steadily coming together, and I can’t wait for you all to try these new features. Let’s dive in!

What’s New This Week?

• Reworked Dialogue System: I gave the dialogue system a major overhaul, making it much quicker to implement. This means smoother storytelling and more time to focus on adding engaging content. Conversations will now flow better, and it’s easier to integrate story elements into the gameplay.

• Gravity Bombs: Introducing a new grenade type: Gravity Bombs! These bad boys can either push enemies away or pull them toward the blast center. They’re a blast (pun intended) to use and add a new layer of strategy to combat.
• New Enemy: Dragonfly: Say hello to the Dragonfly, a fast and nimble foe that keeps you on your toes. This new addition adds more variety to enemy encounters, and it’s just the beginning of the new creatures I have in store for you.
• Endless Map Rewards Update: I’ve added a sweet bonus for the dedicated players tackling endless mode. After clearing Wave 10, you’ll now earn a unique gun as a reward. This change makes endless mode even more rewarding and worth pushing your limits!
• New Weapon Sprite: Weapons are getting some love! I’ve created a new, unique weapon sprite to add more flair and variety to the arsenal. Expect more visual upgrades in the future!

What’s Next?

Looking ahead, I’m focusing on fine-tuning combat mechanics, balancing enemy difficulty, and adding even more unique gear to discover. Story mode also continues to be a big focus—there’s plenty of lore and adventure still to come.

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback. If you’ve got ideas, questions, or just want to share your thoughts, drop them in the comments. Your input helps make Rust & Rage even better!

Thanks for following along, and I’ll catch you in the next update!
