Variety Part Finale
Variety Update Finale
Here it is! The finale of the Variety Updates are here! This update adds a new boss, a whole new wardrobe system, a bee dictionary, and more! This one took longer than I had anticipated but with this release I can now work on other projects! Do not fret if you enjoy the game, I will continue to add more content but I will be trying to slow down production for the time being. Now without further-ado, lets get into the update!
New Features
- Whole New Bosses! (Kinda) Yes, a new boss has been added called the Harvestor, she acts as a precursor to the Queen which has been fully revamped, making her feel entirely new. Her changer make her fit what she is meant to be, a whole boss that makes you wish you didn't have awakened. She is unfair and has multiple attack patterns which play into her new level of difficulty.
- A Revamped Wardrobe! The initial wardrobe was not the final design, more of a creation meant to get a point across quickly, now though it is different.
- The Bee-ctionary, Beelmanac? Whatever you call it! Adds a new way to view the bees that you will be facing and their cosmetics to help you familiarize yourself with their new looks in-case you want to know how they look before you let yourself into their territory. You can even see the bosses themselves as they will play a major role in gameplay.
- The Bear's Closet, as I like to call it is a new section in which it shows the cosmetics you pick for your lovely bear. It shows what all the guns will look like in-game as you play. Compared to just the one gun pre-set onto your bear.
- New and Revamped Upgrades Section! Initially intended for the original release, this upgrade system would be split into categories and help people choose specific upgrades based on their play-style, from being more personal to more traversal, this new system allows for a bit more characterization within specific sections with a boost in levels from 12 to 18!
Quality of Life
- Dubstep? Nah, its Beestep! With new music, even changing the initial music made for the game, this new music adds a whole different and immersive feeling to the game, admittedly it may be a bit loud at times, but that will not matter when-
- Sound Settings Officially Work! The music was fixed in the last update but it was still a bit finnicky as you had to press the actual sound icon in order to truly mute it which has been changed! It will now mute itself at its lowest volume!
- A Slam STUN! Your slam-down ability will now stun bosses, admittedly they can still attack and will only stop for a short duration but it helps when you are truly stuck!
- More Text! Some more text has been added through game-play which may aide you in your curing runs.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where beehives would spawn inside of trees
- Fixed a bug where bees would stack, causing lethal damage
- Fixed a bug where the bees would not appear correctly in the End Screen
Misc. Changes
- Queen Bee Health has increased dramatically
- All weapons now do less damage
- Bosses now spawn in faster
- Bees now take shorter to mutate
And this is all that comes within the finale of this update, which I am very proud of, I have brought more people to help me in places that aren't my strongest while also helping with getting through the thick of bugs made during the creation of the update. Furthermore, as I have said, I am going to be taking a short break from working on this game as I have other projects that are of higher priority, I love this game, yet I do have things in which are required and have a deadline. I do promise an update during the holiday season but I cannot guarantee anything major from it. I hope everyone enjoys this brand new update and I will see you all in the next dev-log!
