Devlog 5 - Larva & DOT Overhaul

Hey survivors,

Here’s a quick update on what we’ve accomplished today in Rust & Rage:

Damage Over Time (DOT) System Revamp

• The DOT system has been completely reworked to be more flexible.
• This sets the stage for adding even more unique DOT effects in the future. Get ready for more status-based combat!

Improved Firing Mechanics

• Left Click to Single Fire: You can now single-fire weapons with a left click, giving you greater control during combat.
• The previous auto fire on/off option remains for those who prefer it.

New Enemy: Acid Larva

• These deadly enemies spawn acid pools upon death, making each encounter a tactical challenge. Watch your step!

Visual Enhancements

• Shield Glow: Shields now have a subtle glow, making them easier to see and visually more appealing.
• Gameplay Tips: Helpful tips now appear at the start of the game to guide new players and improve the onboarding experience.

What’s Next?

We’re actively working on balancing these new systems and polishing the gameplay experience. Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!

As always, your feedback is invaluable. Let us know what you think about these changes and what features you’d love to see next.

Stay gritty, The Rust & Rage Team
