CULTIC Dev Diary #4

[@MrRukrio1]

Oh you cruel bastard i love that cutoff point.

[@mablo168]

A fulture classic, your talent really is something ! cant wait to play the whole thing.

[@MrListerBlister]

Congratulations on going full time as a dev! I'm so excited to see what you have in store for CULTIC.

[@Zerosum716]

The man certainly knows how to tease out a reveal.

[@Siperos]

Dynamites from Blood were some of the most fun to use and powerful weapons in the game. And now you're buffing them to a whole new level by adding Molotov cocktails to them as well??? Molomites may just become my new favorite FPS weapon. :D

[@RognarB]

Man, who knew that something you've started building on your off time little by little would grow into a fully fledged project, with the blessings of 3D Realms no less. Congrats on making that jump! I'm looking forward seeing whats in store and I wish you smooth sailing until then!

[@geoechidna]

Definitely in my top 5 most anticipated games of 2022. Enjoyed the demo a ton!

[@Szuszuro]

I love everything you improve in this game and I really can't wait for it. And the main character tease is just brutal!

[@douglewis7946]

Also congrats on your full-time game dev position! I hope I can do that one day too.

[@MDK-fo7jw]

KZbin: This is Half-Life, 1998. No it's- I mean, yes, yes it is.

[@Unicronicorn]

God I love this game so much, and I've still only played one level of it lol

[@graytoby1]

Just played the demo and had amazing fun I will buy this for sure looking forward to showing my son he's a bit too young at the moment. Great game really dragged up some amazing nostalgic memories of blood, duke nukem, outlaws classic shooters and gameplay. Thank you sir

[@aoetje474]

molomite! damn second map confirmed!! so happy to see you are following your dreams and doing this full time. Man its going to be epic! I am so rooting for you !

[@Longcat4]

Just played the most recent demo, and really enjoyed it! Can't wait for this to be released!

[@Anuskasv0]

The demo was crazy fun, can't wait for the full game.

[@Kriakye2435]

The fire looks really cool! Can't wait to see more.

[@Rivek]

Congrats on going full-time!

[@redacted6592]

I loved the demo, great work 👍

[@BigDoof12]

Im so excited for this. Hella proud of you

[@MDK-fo7jw]

4:00 - Holy shit dude! What kind of agreement did you settle on?

[@Weckacore]

Amazing. Happy for you man.

[@oli36999]

All of this *chefs kiss* Bella

[@limeybonesjones7395]

The demo was amazing

[@skinsvibes4436]

[@manscapedgrinch1427]

This and Death Trash are everything I want and need in the world

[@gearz967]

loved the demo, only things i thought needed changing was a screen visual for taking damage, and then the kick felt underwhelming would be cool if it pushed enemies back or kicking objects around myabe. love the vibe, the art the colors, and the gameplay is great.

[@TimmyTurner421]

Awesome game! Enjoyed it very much

[@TheRyhsge]

Is that what we’re calling him? “Cultic Guy”? I mean “Doom Guy” is a thing so I can roll with that.

[@lysytoszef]

Hell yeah, the Molotov looks charming as hell! Can't wait to arson. Also - bad developer-person for such playing with our feelings with a teaser like that!

[@mikoman.]

I just played the demo, honestly awesome, I love the style, it reminds me of old fps games like doom, can't wait for the release!

[@douglewis7946]

Honestly I can't say the Shotgun Cultists have given me too much trouble. They're definitely deadly, but you usually have the range or cover to deal with them comfortably. *NOW THE STEN CULTISTS ON THE OTHER HAND,* Those have been my run-enders.

[@bloxyboy2739]

I love this game and all of the work you’ve put in. Despite the game running like ass in my laptop I had so much fun with it and replayed the shit out of it over and over to try and find all the secret stashes and kill all cultic members. Keep it up!

[@zaramcpe8394]

Hope you add more resolution scaling options to the game aswell because my device is shitty at running games

[@TimmyTurner421]

Also like the many game play options

[@defectivenull]

the last retro fps i intend to buy for a while

[@neobranco1]

When your finishing zombies in my neighborhood? I really wanna play it

[@airsoftfreak11]

Bro what did u use to make this its sooo Inspiring to start my own ut I have 0 experience and know il spend months maybe learning nothing but great job this is really nice

[@ohman1247]

You forgot to mention that you can also unstrap dynamite. (or that was already implemented but I didn't know) Which tbh needs a bit of fixing/buffing. I've thrown it directly at enemies and they didn't die from it. Hell I don't even think the lit sticks even hurt them, as if I threw a bundle of fire crackers.

[@elricbro3]

TNT unbinding has been in the game for quite a while - since probably April or so. That being said, the individual sticks of dynamite are weaker than a full bundle, so if you're throwing a pile of small sticks at an enemy and expecting it to do the exact same damage as a full bundle, you're going to be disappointed. You've got a cluster of smaller explosives with smaller radii rather than one concentrated blast. On higher difficulties, individual sticks don't deal enough damage to even stun enemies. The point of the unbound TNT is to soften a group of enemies that is too spread out for a single blast to hit, or to deal damage across a wider area in instances where enemies are moving too quickly or are otherwise difficult to hit with a single bundle.

[@elricbro3]

That being said, I am including a buff for the TNT sticks in v009d (should release later today) that improves the damage curve on the individual sticks so they should deal much more damage up close, with a sharper damage falloff as they get further away

[@ohman1247]

@@elricbro3 Oh yea, the dynamite unwrapped feels a bit more powerful now. Feels much better.

[@elricbro3]

@@ohman1247 I'm sure - turns out you were actually right! When I went to adjust the damage value, it turns out the damage curve wasn't even applied properly so it wasn't dealing any damage at all

[@MDK-fo7jw]

Wait, most people here MUST have played the demo, right?!?

[@PastaSauce7]

john cultic

[@RA8IDP3NGUIN1]

This is the game that will get me to put down Elden Ring.

[@Lobocyfer]

are you using some kind of skin on blender? it looks like the old ones.

[@elricbro3]

It is just old Blender haha

[@ilyashadrin714]

Wait, are you making this all alone ?

[@elricbro3]

Yep!

[@Alf_Pacino]

You have noi dea how much enjoyed your demo. I'm a professional level designer, shout out if you are in need of any help!

[@404BYTE]

Looking forward to see the full release
