About the game:

Hydroactive is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi rpg featuring tactical turn-based combat, devious puzzles and engaging exploration elements. The game is set in a world where the majority of natural landmass has been destroyed by unknown causes. The world is now ruled by corporations, each with their own goals and interests. You play as Nutbolt; an early explorer bot prototype built by the ZARR corporation, your mission will be to investigate hazardous areas and to combat threats.

Throughout the game, Nutbolt will acquire weapons and tools to help him, some increase Nutbolt’s offensive capabilities in combat whilst others add more strategic options and can be used outside of combat to help solve puzzles and reach previously inaccessible areas. You will shoot and slash your way through hordes of enemies each with their own weaknesses and resistances, you will explore ruined corporate buildings, you will solve puzzles and you will avoid treacherous hazards.

  • A unique premise influenced by: Fallout, Waterworld and various Cyberpunk Novels.
  • 1 Party Member turn-based combat which is simple to pick up but tricky to master with a weapon switching system that encourages strategic thinking.
  • Puzzles that go beyond your usual switch and block based fare.
  • A quirky cast of memorable characters.
  • Gameplay that rewards exploration and discourages speedy playthroughs.
  • A wide range of areas to travel through.
  • An atmospheric and engaging electronic soundtrack.

Just a quick notification - in the hallway where you meet Gail after Quint teleports you back from the first mission, I can walk under the water cooler(?) to the right of the vending machine. I think it's set to Star.

And here's another one.
After mission 2 I'm told to go and speak to Tanwan. I do so and then I'm supposed to go and see Director Garth. However, if I go back to the transporter room, Quint is still there (even though simultaneously she's in the Director's office) and her dialogue assumes I've not spoken to Tanwan. Needs a switch to remove her if I've spoken to T.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
