Survival Update 2 blog - Cjr1843

"Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for a second without hope."
My second weekly update comes with a good bit of news, and a bit of good news - First, in light of recent gameplay adjustments and breakthroughs, the Survival Map Pack is moving along faster than expected. Glitches and issues in a test map had me stumped longer than expected at one point, but a little bit of editing had shed light on something bigger. Survival gameplay testing is complete, which allows me to produce maps much faster.
Second, I have two maps completed and thoroughly tested. One is very basic (the picture in my last blog.) It is only meant to give players a good sense of what to expect from survival-type gameplay. A tutorial of sorts. The second map is actually a survival version of my very first map Tatooine Gauntlet. Set during a nighttime sandstorm in a Tatooine city, the player must survive against countless waves of Consortium forces, defending their base with Rebel and Imperial units.

I am also creating a survival rate for each mission. For example, surviving a certain mission between 5-10 minutes would give you a 10% survival rate. The longer you last, the higher your rate will be. Everything will be explained and easy to understand in the pack's readme, so be sure to read it. It's what it's there for.
I'm aiming for five, maybe six missions in the release. Two are finished, two are more than 50% complete and two are drawn up. I may also be releasing a bonus map for anyone who can prove a high survival rate for the pack. Haven't chosen which map yet, but it will be worth the challenge.
Well that's it for this week. Next week's update may come with a surprise...
