Key Slinger Beta Release


Hello everyone! It's been a while since I uploaded a new build. My original plan was to have the full game done by the end of October, but some things took a lot longer than I thought they would, art being a big one. Along with procrastinating and taking care of other things, I haven't worked on Key Slinger as much as I would have liked to. That being said, I did manage to make a lot of progress, enough that I'm happy to announce that the Beta for Key Slinger is officially out! 

Major Updates:
  • Added a main menu to the game
  • The Gunslinging samurai now lives up to his name
    • Those who enter the range of his blade beware, for he can cut you in an instant
      • Pressing W, A, S, or D while an enemy(or enemies) are within the pink circle slices them in half
    • At a distance, the Gunslinging samurai utilizes his gun to shoot anything that dares to get close
      • Pressing I, J, K, or L  unleashes a powerful shot upon the closest enemy
  • The Fiend is back with a new design... and some new friends
    • 2 new enemies: The Imp and The Devil
      • Imp: These flying enemies are slower than the fiends but their attacks are quick. Shoot them down before they get too close
      • Devil: Much like the Imps, Devils are slow. Once they are shot, however, they become enraged and charge at the player. Use the gun and the sword in tandem to bring them down
  • And finally, how many enemies can you kill in a row?
    • Added a streak counter that keeps track of that for you

Minor Updates:

  • Animations have been added to the Gunslinging Samurai, now he's ready to take on any threat in his way
  • Redesigned the Fiend and added animations to it
  • As requested, the closest enemy that can be shot is highlighted with a yellow tint
  • began adding sound effects. Currently, just the sword swing and gunshot are implemented
  • minor bug fixes
  • UI tweaks

 I want to personally thank everyone for your support and patience with the game.  As a special bonus, here are some hints towards what's to come with the next/ full release.

  • One last enemy, the strongest of them all
  • Settings
  • Sweet music was done by my brother Ethan Moskowitz (check him out on Instagram @ ethan_thebard, Tik Tok @ EthanTheBard, and Twitter @Ethan_TheBard
  • The ability to change the starting difficulty
  • Potentially a second character 

I love you all and enjoy the game!
