Hi Everyone,

DESPERATELY seeking feedback on my new game, Dusters.

In a post apocalyptic wasteland, sentient machines have taken over the earth. Humanity survives, hidden in the ruins, and must scavenge to survive.

Dusters is developed in Gamemaker Studio for Windows OS.

DUSTERS is inspired by XCOM, RETURN FIRE, DESERT STRIKE and COMMAND AND CONQUER.


Key Features

Design your own underground base. Build Dormitories, Armouries and Research Labs.
Gather resources and rescue personnel from the surface to expand your base.
Battle in real time for control of the map
Upgrade and Customise your vehicles and weaponry from scavenged resources.
Craft new Vehicle Hull's, Weapons, Engines and Armor

Ahha! Sorry for the bug Mark - resolved and uploaded to the current build.

I also made some tweaks to driving physics. This is a real work in progress - operating the vehicles is CENTRAL to the game. It MUST BE FUN! I DEMAND FUN! :)

Oh and yeah I'll get some sound effects into the RT combat phase asap.

UPDATED!

- prevent attempting pickup of resource within radius of airstrike then starting an airstrike *FIXED
- reduce length of time for airstrike *DONE
- add a mix of enemies to the airstrike *DONE
- enemies need to spawn more frequently AND further away during airstrike *DONE
- change main menu "newgame" to "tutorial" *DONE
- hitting V when only carrying passengers should not show a "cargo dropped" hint *DONE
- scanner enemies need to stop moving when paused *DONE
- cancel weapon overheating when temp is < 10% total * DONE
- corrected collision masks for the player vehicle *DONE

Thanks Mark! I try to post regular updates on my indieDB page.

But honestly? Suggestions are welcome! I don't know whether to simply quickly build my own website and blog there, or add devblogs as news items on the major sites (Tig, IndieDB, etc).

The flip side is I dont want to get stuck updating 5 different sites!
