NOTE: THE DEMOS HERE ARE OUT OF DATE and will no longer be updated. Black Ice is still in development, but these are only here as an archive of early work. Black Ice is a Hack and Shoot - a cyberpunk first person shooter / hack and slash rpg about hacking. Think Borderlands meets Tron. The cyber-world is procedurally generated, the colors are neon, the loot is randomized, and the lasers are loud. Black Ice is in Beta - you can try the demo right here!

Lots of new content this week!

  • New Item Type: Blink. Short ranged instant teleport!
  • New Affix: Chance to Ricochet. Lasers bouncing everywhere!
  • Enemies now use A* Pathfinding. They'll hunt you down. This has become a game of cat and also cat. Please note: enemies far away from the starting area do not use A* yet, but they will soon.
  • RAM Regen changed to be smoother and faster
  • Lasgun damage should be smoother
  • The city is slightly more spread out
  • Displayed Version number in the main menu
  • Exploit Fix: Info Terminal firing position
  • Bug fixes

I would really like your feedback on the music. I like it, but it's not quite where I want it yet, and I'd like your opinion.I'd love to hear from you about how hacks don't finish until the enemies are dead.Any other feedback or suggestion is always appreciated. Here's the official Reddit/r/gamedev Feedback Friday thread if you'd like to give feedback there.
