Devlog 7 - Sprint in Powered Boots

Hey survivors,

Today’s update focuses on movement upgrades, new gear, and UI improvements. Let’s dive in:

New Feature: Sprinting

• Sprinting has been added to the game! It uses energy, the same resource as your special abilities, so plan carefully—use it to dodge danger, chase down foes, or gain a tactical advantage.

New Gear: Armored Boots

• Armored Boots are now in the loot pool, offering exciting benefits:
  • Increase sprint speed.
  • Reduce incoming damage.
  • Rare boots can even grant immunity to specific damage types (e.g., fire or acid).
• Note: Boots are the least likely item to drop, making them a valuable find.

Tweaks and Improvements

• Better Camera Movement: The camera has been improved for smoother and more responsive tracking.
• Gun Creation Tweaks: Adjusted gun creation algorithms for better balance and variety.
• More Gun Sprites: Added additional sprites for pistols to enhance their visual variety.

UI Tweaks

• The Inventory UI has been cleaned up for a more streamlined experience. Managing your gear is now smoother and easier.

What’s Next?

We’re continuing to expand movement mechanics, refine gear balance, and polish the overall user experience. Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!
