Kritter Demo Update v0.7.4

Hey there! I hope you are doing well! This is a little but really cool update fo the Kritter Demo.

What's coming next?

Before telling you more about the update, I'm really glad to say that after spending weeks to adjust and polish the demo, we are now on track to develop amazing new things, such as the second biome, new enemies AND skill modifications. Oh boy that's gonna be so fun. We recently gained visibilty and all those recent wishlist gave us so much energy. Thank you so much to all of you for supporting our work As some of you may now, we are a team of two and none of us is an 2D artist. We worked with an amazing artist for our Steam Capsule and would love to work more with him to design more enemies and cool concepts for the game. In order to do so, we will start a Kickstarter campaign in a few weeks so we can fund it as well as some of the great features to come. For now you can follow our Kickstarter page to get notified when the campaign launches : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ljfgames/kritter Oh and we released a new trailer. Go check it out and tell us what you think ! [previewyoutube=uWcPUG8ofag;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]

What's up in this update?

We had a lot of feedback about the fact that the english version was far from good due to two problems. The english narration was unnecessarly vulgar and the subtitles were not well synced. About that, I'd like to thank the many players for pointing out those issues. So we changed some lines of the narration and reworked the subtitle system and now, it's all way better. We also had a new load of players trying the multiplayer and a blocking bug emerged about opening a reward chest while a team mate was doing something in another UI, like another reward screen or the shop screen. This was our top priority to fix and we had multiple way of doing it. We chose to edit the reward chests behaviour to enforce the cooperation. Now you won't have the reward screen opening from a chest opened by a team mate. If you want the reward, you have to open the chest yourself. Everyone still gets a reward, but everyone has to move to the chest and open it to get it.

Patch Note Kritter v0.7.4

English narration adjusted to avoid unnecessary vulgarities
English subtitles now correctly synced
Camp treasures now give a reward only to the player opening it. Chests have a reward for everyone.
New Kritter logo on Start Screen (Tell us if you like it!)
Added a sound on hovering start screen button -> That's a test, do you like it?
Ambiant musics start at random timing so you won't always here the same thing
Marks Shield now start at 50 health points (previously 25)
Fix a bug were the tips from the loading screen could change while reading it
Fix a bug were a Utility Skill charge could be lost when leveling up the skill

Thanks everyone for playing the demo! You are clearly making the game better by doing so

The spaceship Mission Ark 182 (please, call him M.ark) crashes on an unknown planet. Damaged but not destroyed, M.ark activates a survival protocol: creating fighting robots called Kritters to protect and repair him.

YOU are one of them : a fragile, clueless pile of scrap metal with a mission far too big for your tiny frame. But through failure, learning, and repetition, you’ll grow stronger. Explore a hostile world, battle bizarre enemies and uncover the secrets behind M.ark’s crash.

Rise again, adapt and push forward.

Kritter, you are our only hope.

Kritter is a top-down roguelite combining hack 'n' slash and base-building elements. Playable solo or with up to 4 players online, the goal is to defend your spaceship against enemy hordes and gather the necessary resources to repair it.

YOUR KRITTER, YOUR HERO

You embody a Kritter, a type of combat robot created by M.Ark, your spaceship. You have complete control over your Kritter: you will need to juggle between your main weapon, heavy weapon, and constructions to protect M.Ark and attempt to escape this hostile planet.

AN ADVENTURE IN TWO PHASES

A TIME TO DEFEND

During a game, monsters will surge towards your spaceship in "waves". Each time you survive a wave, you'll earn a reward to evolve your Kritter. Will you upgrade one of your attacks? Heal yourself? Opt for more resources? Each game is unique, and your choice will be crucial.

A TIME TO EXPLORE

Between monster waves, you'll have a brief respite. This will be your chance to explore the surroundings in search of valuable resources needed to build defenses or improve your Kritter's statistics. However, beware, as this respite will be short-lived! Always keep an eye on the timer because when it reaches 0... Another wave will hit. Don't leave M.Ark defenseless.

CHOOSE YOUR GAMEPLAY

Your Kritter adapts to your playstyle! You can opt for different classes that drastically change the gameplay. Currently, the game features 3 classes:

The Defender: In this form, your Kritter fights in melee combat with a sword. It can leap into the air and crash down on groups of enemies. The Defender can also build a scarecrow to distract and lure monsters wherever desired. The Defender is sturdy and can construct solid stone walls.
The Engineer: Your Kritter fights here at mid-range with a flamethrower. A true war machine, the Engineer also shoots sharp nuts around him. It can place turrets that automatically target your opponents. The Engineer is more fragile than its counterparts but more destructive.
The Tracker: Your Kritter wields a sniper rifle here; the Tracker can take down targets from kilometers away. It also has a mortar shot for area damage and can place mines along its path to greet those foolish enough to follow. The Tracker creates barriers that its shots can pass through. Handy!

AN OVERWHELMING THREAT

Despite your efforts, it's highly likely that defeat will occur at some point. M.Ark will then rewind time, bringing you back to its cockpit, and everything will need to be done again... Well, almost everything! You'll be able to upgrade your Kritter or M.Ark between games using soul crystals! These major upgrades will make life easier for you: adding a shield around M.Ark, adding a radar to know where enemies are coming from, enhancing your strength, boosting your resources, increasing your life... The choices are numerous!

A STORY THAT UNFOLDS OVER TIME

Kritter is a story of time. When you lose, you rewind time; when you play, you battle against time... The story itself unfolds within this temporal chaos. M.Ark is the narrator of the story... But M.Ark suffers from amnesia! With each defeat, with each return to its cockpit, the story will progress. It is through advancing that M.Ark will gradually remember the reason for our presence here.

DYING IS MORE FUN TOGETHER

Kritter is a demanding game that will require you to face death more than once... So what's better than facing it together? Invite your friends, form squads of up to 4 players, and discover the exciting story of Kritter in cooperative play!
