End of Times
I’m happy to introduce the singleplayer game mode for Demons with Shotguns, End of Times. This game mode is a enemy wave mode where 1 - 2 players must fend off wave after wave of the Nephilim army to unlock each arena to face off against a Nephilim boss to prevent the end of times!
This game mode should be considered pre-alpha right now. The content being included in the initial release is very light, with only two arenas and two enemy types to face off against; more arenas and enemies are being worked on for future builds. Being early access, I wanted to make the game mode available to you now so you can provide feedback on the early mechanics and gameplay.
End of Times currently has two difficulty settings, Normal (default) and Hardcore (can be enabled in the Options menu). These settings change how enemies are spawned, more specifically how many will spawn at a time, making the game much more challenging. Please play both and let me know what you think of them.
The current plan for End of Times is to have a total of seven enemy types, including a final boss battle, across several arenas with unlock progression.
Versus
Versus matches are now much more customizable, allowing you specify the following match options:
- Specific tarot cards can now be turned on/off (not applicable to Last Soul Standing)
- Shields can be turned on/off
- Ammo spawn time can be adjusted
- Tarot card spawn time can be adjusted (not applicable to Last Soul Standing)
As a result, tarot card effects are now more easily stacked. Try mixing and matching different tarot card combinations for some very interesting and fanatic gameplay. My personal favorite is the Satan’s Spawn and Possessed combination.
Pending any additional, major feedback, the Versus game modes are closing in on being complete now. This will allow me to focus on the End of Times game mode.
Of course, this build also includes miscellaneous bug fixes and tweaks done throughout.
