Regulators! Welcome to the fresh new DEMO for Regulator City: version 0.0.66
New in this version
- Host of new Enemy types like Spittin Blog, Medooza, Scorpions, Spiders, and Ooze worms
- New mission type: Hacking the mainframe – requiring you to defend your grounds for a couple of seconds
- Shiny new interface to unify the whole gamereg
- Medooza-Nest missions (be quiet!)
- Local COOP mode ( mostly tested, but things can go crazy at times )
What’s next
This build now brings a complete new experience both in the shape of the standard single player mission, but also by adding a sample (test) of the local COOP mode.
Even though the version number just increased a bit, there are so many new things crammed in this demo that you should really just go and play it and see what the final Regulator City experience will be about as I’m now at the final stretch of development and closing in on a full release. (YAY!)
I’m entering the last phase of development, and a lot of that work will mean creating level-maps, adding a couple of features I still have on my wish-list (working on Gass-masks for Ooze-spore area’s).
And I will be doing a proper Beta-test call over on the Orangepixel Discord (see the right-side column on the store page) in a few weeks/months from now to make sure the game is as bug-free as possible when it releases!
If you want to play this game on your stream/youtube/twitch make sure to reach out for a Steam Playtest key and we’ll talk.
