UTOPIA 9 More Enemies and Key Bindings

By Rebecca Smith,
A week has passed since our release to early access and we think it is time to do a status update. So far we have received minor bug reports, suggestions to fix game-balance, and a few mandatory crash reports. But overall the response have been overwhelmingly positive! So, while we keep hunting bugs, we believe that Utopia 9 - A Volatile Vacation is ready for new features!

We have gathered all the best parts of your feedback and tried to accommodate it to our first real upgrade. Here is a list of the most important features (and fixes of course) you can expect in this new update:

Dynamic Enemy Gear
• Gear of enemies are dynamically generated. This allows a much wider range of enemies to fight against. It also means much harder enemies later on and means a lot more weapons are available to the enemy mutants.

Gameplay
• Smartgun spends less ammo from ammo pickups.
• Health and ammo pickups flattened awarding more health and ammo early on.
• Reduced projectile speed of many Rusty weapons.
• Reduced aim prediction of Boss and increased his health.
• Ability to set up custom key bindings. This is still work in progress but is a prerequisite for Controller support. Hopefully we will have controllers up and running very soon!
• Gasoline glands now stun when damaging.
• Improved enemy looting algorithm.

Visual
• Nemesis items are visible on the world map.
• New evolve sequence for mutants killing you.
• All levels are oriented the same way now.

Audio
• Updated sound effects to fit new evolve sequence.
• Neon-lights in interiors are now audible.

When not writing news, she can usually be found sharpening her very, VERY, pointy grammar stick in anticipation of its imminent use. Outside of TSA, TA and TT, she works in an independent game shop so that she can spend all day talking about games too. At home, with a variety of PCs and consoles on hand from which to choose, starting with a ZX Spectrum, games are never far away there either. However, as you're not supposed to have an unhealthy obsession with just a single subject, she also likes to read and dream about owning her own tribe of minions. She'll occasionally go outside.
