The thirtieth weekly video devlog of Deterrence. This week the game gets more features, rework, and various improvements.

Official Website

The official website got an upgrade! Visit the site here to get more of look at the lore of Deterrence. The site will continue to get more info and lore as the game develops. You will also find a content creator sign up; If you or someone you know is a content creator with a reasonable following, then please share the site.

New UI Look

I went with the night vision filter on the video to give a more futuristic look. To make all the UI buttons look more futuristic as well, I decided to go with new style and colors to match.

Improved User Interface

The plain gray heads-up display has been replaced with a bolted metal border and black background. Unit cards have been modified to have a border and fit up to 80 selected units at once. The select item info color will change from green to red based on hit points. And finally, the building commands have been put on a submenu to make room for more commands and spell casts.

High Ground Advantage

Units on low ground will not be able to see units on the high ground giving the high ground the advantage. If a unit on the high ground attacks, then that unit's position will be revealed allowing units on the low ground to attack back.

Upcoming Additions

The following are bug fixes and additions to the game that will be in the next update v1.1:

Buildings under construction can now be cancelled
Buildings can only be built on ground within vision
Factory can now have garrisoned units
Idle enemy groups retaliate together
Player can now select up to 80 units
Pathfinding improvements
Defend and capture objectives will update minimap and billboard icons
