Hello everyone! We've got the latest update to the Echoes of MARS demo now available for download. This time around the prototype is *just* pass the build limit for Itch.Io so now we have to store the build externally on dropbox. I'll be looking into butler to see if there's something I can do with that.

As for the update let's spill the beans.

• Updated models - The gun, the drop ship, the enemy ship, and more
• Updated cinematic - Minor changes to the intro cinematic and the enemy ship sequence
• Added ammo counters - Take the bandana off, you're no longer Rambo.
• Added grenades - Boom sticks can only take you so far.
• Updated movement - Minor adjustments to the player's speed and breaking to improve b-hopping (just because)
• Updated terrain - Now it looks all fancy
• Additional bug fixes.

With version 3 set and ready to run you might be wondering, "what's next?" And to that, next up on the to-do list is as follows:

• Pause menu (Because I'm 3 versions in and still don't have one)
• Main menu
• Settings menu for the potato PCs
• HUD Improvements
• AI Improvements
• More environment updates
• Improved cinematics
• Improved level logic
• More weapons

Now please note that while I'm working on implementing these, they are not guaranteed to be in the next version, so this list is more of a generalized checklist, you can at the very least expect UI updates in version 4.

Thank you for your continued support, and if you want to help continue to support me then feel free to donate either through Itch.io or through my Ko-Fi.
