Weekly BD Update - 5th February

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!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

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!

BIG greetings to the DRONE GANG!

Our latest UPDATE to fill you in...

1️⃣ COMMUNITY MOBILE TESTING

Now that we have a nicely running build up and running on mobile, we have invited our community to join in on the play test and have their say on the future of BATTLE DRONES: Red Rock Resistance! The play test is available for both IOS and Android, meaning almost anyone with a mobile device can now get involved! Incase you missed it, here's the link to sign up: https://forms.gle/KLCrGAryuK5cwX3NA

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!

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!

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!

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!

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!

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!

What's going on DRONE SQUADRON?!

🎮 FINAL BOSS WAVE BALANCING & TWEAKING


We've been focusing on the boss battle that players will encounter late in the game, once they have amassed a sizeable arsenal to help them survive an intense wave. We had to ensure the design of the boss battle was equally as comprehensive on both Mobile. Due to the nature of wave-based games, making this boss a challenge whilst maintaining reasonable survivability was tricky - as we don't want any perma-death related frustration at the hands of an unfairly powerful boss! We found a great balance that will test and engage a variety of different play-styles!

GOOD LUCK OUT THER GANG!

Weekly BD Update - 3rd June

Hello again DRONE GANG!

I hope we're doing well, here's this week's update!

🎮 MOBILE GAME TIPS AND TUTORIAL MODE

After receiving feedback on the mobile version of the game from various demographics, one thing became very clear. We needed to create a tutorial mode to explain controls and combat / exploration mechanics in order for players to feel well equipped to experience the curve of progression, and explain how we can explore the detailed environments containing many secrets of within the BATTLE DRONES lore... Of course experienced players will be able to disable tips so the game is doesn't slow down the DRONE GANG veterans!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK GUYS!

Weekly BD Update - 10th June

Greetings DRONE GANG!

Here's your update for the week...

1️⃣ ADDING AND TWEAKING SFX

After feedback from game testing we decided that adding and tweaking our current sound effects would be a great way to spice up the gameplay loop and give players positive feedback when accomplishing feats of gaming prowess. Small details like the triumphant note chiming in at the exact moment all enemies have been defeated in a wave can go a long way to create a sense of satisfaction in the player and keep them coming back for more!

2️⃣ SOLANA ECOSYSTEM MEETUP

Our core team of founders attended the Solana ecosystem meeting in Auckland last Friday to expand our network and get to know the local adopters of crypto in New Zealand. It was a fantastic experience where we got to talk about the game and learn about some developments in Solana that will certainly help in our mission of mainstream adoption of web3 gaming!

MAY THE COMING WEEK BLESS YOU WITH GOOD FORTUNE!

Back again with the WEEKLY UPDATE!

1️⃣ USER INTERFACE/GRENADE FUNCTIONALITY

Throwable weapons are a great way to mix up the combat and add a more tactile and physics based feeling in shooter games, so we really wanted them to be an important feature in* Red Rock Resistance*. Working this into a mobile title was a challenge given the nature of touch screen controls was a challenge we ticked off the list this week, on top of the bug fixing we've been continuing to do, it's been a great week of game development for us!

2️⃣ LAUNCH TRAILER AND GAME AD DEVELOPMENT

We've been going hard creating some video content to be released alongside the game launch to tickle the interest of new audiences and give our community a little more of a taste of what to expect in the full release. We aim to show off the game at early, mid, and late stages of the experience without giving too much away... Stay tuned for more content soon!

HAVE A GOOD ONE DRONE GANG!
