Hello!

Many thanks to all of you who provided feedback; I've been applying a lot of what was suggested moving forward, and am almost finished with a new level: Downtown Cybertropolis!

While the parking garage will act as a (mostly) safe house, downtown cybertropolis will act as a larger hub world, expanding as the campaign continues, much like Super Mario 64 or Wolfenstein: The New Order.

To give you a sense of the map's scale I've highlighted a ninja in front of a doorway in the map editor:The player starts on the concrete building (parking garage) left of bottom center. The level will have a completely sandbox design and feature much more verticality than any previous level! Each part area can be accessed from another relatively directly. I've also hidden a rather large secret area inside the skybox for anyone who can find it ;) if you would like to try the build you see in the video above, you can find an updated IWAD (simply replace the file in the game's base folder to patch it) pinned on the #Retroninjacyberassassin text channel on my Discord!

I don't want to spoil too much of what's coming next, but I am gonna get you excited for a new weapon I will be adding later in development: a bow, with a 3 flaming arrow secondary attack. There's a lot more than just that coming your way, but I think that's the next feature I'm most excited about! I will be creating custom death animations for enemies burning, as well as creating a poison death animation for when fungus slugs poison enemies!

Wanted to also let everyone know that you can now wishlist us on Steam, free early access is coming soon!
Until next time, continue to fight the power kohai!
