Greetings, Monsters!
Halloween may be a month away, but we couldn’t wait for this Block Buster update! We’ve got some mouth-watering have you savoring every last bite (of people).
Let’s get to it!
Big, Bad Weapons:
These big boys need BIG weapons to wield. Use your KP to unlock up to 3 weapons: The Wattage Whacker, The Wreck-it Ball, and the Techromancer to create all kinds of chaos.
All weapons can be recalled with the “B” button. Press B, and your weapon will appear where your hand was at the time of the button press. NOTE: If you drop your weapon in a cave or underwater path in The Primal Isles, you will not be able to recall your weapon. Make sure you hold them when traveling through portals! Apologies for the inconvenience.
Weapons are unlocked at the Karnage Shop!
The Karnage Shop:
Don’t know what to do with your excess KP? Spend it at the Karnage Shop. Use your KP at the Karnage shop to purchase newly added weapons, paint colors, collectibles, and cosmetics.
The Karnage Shop will help fund additional work going into Block Buster. We want to deliver new monsters and levels to you all, but it takes a significant number of resources to produce. With that in mind, our plan to offer more content (Purchased and free) through this newly added store is to keep the wheels spinning and you, the players, happy!
· 24-hour collectible item refresh rate.
· 3 new weapons purchasable with KP.
· 8 new color pallets to get the right shade for your costume.
· Newly added cosmetics, skins, collectibles, and monsters will be featured here in the future.
We have added a free skin for the Techromancer. This skin was voted on by our Discord Community. Go into the weapons tab and select the new skins tab at the bottom. You will be able to unlock the QuackAttack and apply it as a skin to the Techromancer, once unlocked.
Welcome to the Kaiju BBQ: Play with your food!
· Fence-roasted humans, cooked to perfection. Pick up your tasty victim hurl ’em at a fence and hear them sizzle or discover which monster power works best on them. Be sure to visit every level to check out the local cuisine!
· Pick up the nearest human and give them a squeeze by holding down the joystick toggle on either side. Release to fire. Heads fly in an arch and can be used to take out enemies. This makes for excellent target practice!
· Grab a person and throw them at the water like a stone to skip them! See how many bounces you can get before the friction from hitting the water too much bursts them!
· Holding a human while roaring explodes their head! That ought to teach ‘em!
· Richter Scales special power now neutralizes humans while holding them!
More Gameplay Options and QOL Improvements
We’ve added a couple more options that we hope improve the quality of life for players. Some of these were requests from comments and feedback we receive. We do our best to get to as many requests as possible.
· Blood and Gore Filter
· Turn off Monster Theme Music
· Hide Bite Animation
· Player Notifications on Notebook and Cosplay Menu
· Adjustments to Throwing:
· Weapon selection widget
· New store art
A Quick Multiplayer Update:
We are still working towards Co-op destruction for free play. One thing about Block Buster is the number of physics objects that spawn in a scene at once. Replicating the physics on the blocks has taken the most time, but we have neared the end of that tunnel and are now working on the character AI so tiny humans can run around and work for both Client and Host. After that, we will work on the cars and environment. Additionally, we will be adding the newly developed weapons to the multiplayer mode, which will take time. We want this experience to be as fun as possible right off the bat, and your continued support is much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding regarding multiplayer. We’re excited to continue development on Block Buster and can’t wait to share more with you in the future.
A special thanks to our Discord Community:
We did a community poll regarding the art direction for one of our weapons. We plan to do more of these in the future and expand to other areas of the game. If you’d like to be involved in voting for content in Block Buster, join our discord and stay tuned for the next poll!
