Devlog #4 - Prospect

Hi there!

Ok, I have to admit that recent game update will be some kind of milestone of original game design idea development.

First - I do like how game feels from the atmospheric perspective. I consider sound design is quite good but not really happy with the Art.

Now the most intersting part - Game Design. I don't like how game feels from the Game Mechanic persepctive. It is far from how it should plays. 

Few words on the Idea: there are number of active spawing points on the map from start. The more aggressive Player acts, more enemies he kills -> more spawing points gets active -> become harder to play.

At the current stage there are 4 regions:

- North (2 active spawing points)

- Center (no active spawing points, the place where player is starting)

- East (2 active spawing points)

- South (2 active spawing points)

Each region has a number of inactive spawing points, 2 active spawing points and 1 spawing manager.

 To activate inactive spawing point you have to kill 5 enemies nearby. The problem is in Spawing manager. Next wave triggered only when all enemies from current wave has been eliminated. Because of this I have to put all spawned enemis at the players route. So there is no sense to activate new spawing point - it is doesn't change players behavious.

Also I don't like "Island" type of level design. It is limits the way how player can act.

Taking all these things into account - here what I'm going to try right now:

- Redevelop Art design. Maybe try 3D

- Change level design. No more "Islands"

- Redevelop spawing manager. Add it to every single spawing point or to small group of spawing points
