Post news Report RSS Luminesca Update 002: Biting Bugs

An update to the preview build including new enemy behaviours and environment art.

Posted by on

An update has been applied to the preview demo of the game! This demo is available to anyone who has donated $5 or more to the IndieGoGo campaign, and all future updates are automatically applied at no extra cost.Full list of changes:

  • The biting bugs have new graphics.
  • The bugs' AI behaviour has been expanded. They now have a dash attack which they will use against you if you get too close. This will also smash breakable blocks and set off glowpod explosions, just like Lum's own dash attack.
  • Bugs can now be defeated by hitting their exposed abdomens with your dash attack.
  • Added new machine part background graphics.
  • Created an escape route for the jellyfish area (you could get stuck up there if you used up all the planktids).
  • The exploding glowpods will now damage bugs, and their collision detection has also been improved.

As usual, to get your hands on this you just need to donate at least $5 to Luminesca's IndieGoGo campaign (or $10 if you want to pre-order the finished game).
