Hello! We've got a few updates on Fugue Shot to share, so here's the latest:
Fugue Shot is at GDC!
We'll be very active in San Francisco during GDC week! We'll be tabling with a playable demo of Fugue Shot at the following events:
- The MIX Showcase (Monday, 3/9)
- SF Game Dev Indie Arcade Party (Tuesday, 3/10)
- Demoing in the GDC Festival Hall (Wednesday, 3/11 - Friday, 3/13)
If you win a run at one of our demo stations, you'll even win the first official piece of Fugue Shot merch...
Instructions Screen
In an effort to improve tutorialization and understandability of the game, we've added a pre-level instructions screen that gives the player a rundown on what they're meant to be doing. This is a toggleable addition, so once you've learned the ins and outs of an Omen's gameplay, you can just switch these screens off in settings.
Improvements and Additions (...pretty much everywhere)
We’re making a big push to streamline all Omens to make them feel like smaller parts of a larger whole, so now, the goal across all game modes involves collecting a resource called "Aura." How you get Aura differs from Omen to Omen, but we feel this small gameplay reframing helps to unify the gameplay across all levels.
We've added plenty of new content in the form of new items, enemies, level layouts, and art. There's also a new layer of polish over the entire UI that helps things feel a little smoother and more intuitive.
Overall, pretty much every aspect of the game has gotten a little bit better in some way or another over the past two months!
