• [UPDATE 2] Key remapping feature + otherimprovements - 27 June 2024

  Hello, Shoomers Shoppers, it's Summer Sale time! What was done: KEY REMAPPING FEATURE added to PAUSE -> OPTIONS menu. Updated game engine version (Unreal Engine 5) from 5.2 to 5.4 (needed for key mapping feature). Removed the DLSS Nvidia plugin. Quite strange but this gave FPS boost at a low level of graphics; More types of enemies spawn loot, "Abomination" (big guy) spawns random 3 loot pieces; More (all) types of enemies counted into relevant achievement (kill n-enemies to unlock); ChainSaw makes blood splat/squash additional sound at damage; Fixed bug when Rocket-projectile cause 1 HP damage; Increased Plasma gun damage; Improved lights in E1M0, changed pickups, enemies, small tweaks etc.; Other minor changes; But there are a few side effects from the game version update: 1: build size increased from 600 to 680 MB; 2: from prev. step: UE 5.4 currently contains bug with direction ligh…

• [UPDATE 1] Regular "Shoomer Booter" improvements - 23 June 2024

  Hello, Booters and Shooters! I spent a good chunk of this weekend working on game improvements. What was done: Text outline in all UI (menus, dialogues, etc.); Text block centered in dialogues; Vending machine (shop) spawn items of the same type with small coordinates deviations (increase readability); Player footstep rate reduction (from ~200 to ~300 units means sound will be triggered 1.5 times less than before); Fixed bug when footstep sound played when players were riding lift/platform; Sprint logic changed: one time 'Shift' press - now enabling 'Auto-Sprint' or vice versa; Added Voiceover slider sound volume to options - so players could get rid of protagonist one-liners completely; Added mouse sensitivity slider (in the range 0.5-2.5 where 1.0 is Unreal Engine default sensitivity); Fixed bug when "Quicksave" / "Quickload" could be used only once; Added "Portal VFX" and sound for t…

• [TECHNICAL ISSUES] Feedback about critical game issues - 13 June 2024

  The player contacted me and described a crit. problem. The game was installed correctly, game menu loaded, after clicking on the demo level -> loading screen -> black screen and no DEMO LEVEL. His Video card is a Geforce 3060 laptop. My development is happening on a laptop with Geforce 3070 - and there are no such issues. Moreover, I see people playing in the demo: https://steamdb.info/app/2846900/charts/ And at the community hub, I see some feedback from the players with loaded demo levels (at least their issues are not related to those mentioned above). So I decided to create such a topic/announcement in the community hub to collect all critical issues. Please share your PC/Laptop specs, so I can identify the root cause and find a solution. Thank you Cheers Serhii

• Shoomer Booter gameplay boradcasting - 24 May 2024
• May 11. Demo build update (v 0.5) - 11 May 2024

  Hello, Boomers! It’s been a while since my last update. Game development is my hobby, but some unexpected events recently disrupted my work on 'Shoomer Booter.' I had a bout with a covid-like virus (yes, for the second time, with eerily similar symptoms). Following that, I had to divert my focus to job hunting, navigating through screening interviews, test assignments, technical interviews, even C-level discussions, and more. But now that I've recovered from the virus and secured a job offer, I'm excited to dive back into my passion project. While a few minor features may need to wait, the game's release date remains unchanged. I’d love to hear about your experiences playing the game! P.S. I’ve also submitted 'Shoomer Booter' to some indie game festivals. Organizers requested actual gameplay footage (as the current trailer doesn’t capture it accurately). So, I’ve prepared a walkthrough…

• Demo update after 'K.K.' & 'A.O' players feedbak - 3 March 2024

  Hello, Shoomers! Players 'K.K.' and 'A.O.' provided meaningful feedback after their playing sessions. So I delivered some fixes: Changed sprite for small health pickup Increased the 'speed/velocity' of the player's jump Added a few ammo pickups at the start Increased ranged enemies projectiles speed Fixed corridors too narrow in some places Dissolve material for dead enemies Blood decals for killed enemies Added 'breadcrumbs' in the lava area so the player could find the 'secret' area more easily Added dynamic crosshair Added the 'Esc' button as an in-game pause trigger A few other level/sound/meshes tweaks Reduced explosive barrel sound radius & explosion effect After these playtests, a few more improvements/tasks remained on the list. Feel free to share your playing experience! -- Cheers, Tommy Gun Walrus

• Update after 'Saint Phoenix' feedback - 28 February 2024

  Hello Boomers! Player 'Saint Phoenix' provided meaningful feedback after the playing session. So I delivered some fixes: Decreased health for enemies: 'Brain-Bug', 'Melee Imp', 'Ranged Imp'; Added more small health pickup Added more small armor pickup Added a few more ammo pickups Increased values at some existing ammo pickups Added 'breadcrumbs' leading to a secret area (near lava) Fixed layout so level could reach secret area even with a 'broken' lift Small fix on 'broken' lift/platform Added capture reflections (graphic improvement) Some other minor changes On average, players, even without finding secret areas with big ammo supplies, could manage to complete the demo level without grinding-punching enemies. Small hints: Lava does not kill instantly; The player could shoot at barrels to blow them up and damage enemies nearby thus spending only 1 shot instead of 4-10 Secrets located a…

• Upcoming Demo version of "Shoomer Booter" - 20 February 2024

  Hello, Shoomers and Booters! The demo version of the game will be available soon. It will be tiny (~250 MB in size) and contains Episode 1 Mission 0, aka "E1M0" (granny explanation for youngest shooters). There will be about 15 minutes of playtime - fair enough to understand what players could expect from the upcoming Early Access version of the game. A few minor known issues could be present in "Demo build", but as a solo indie dev - I promise that every reported bug/issue or any meaningful feedback will be carefully considered for immediate fixing or placing into the game 'backlog' and further. BTW backlog contains 136 tasks/points of improvement. And ~30 of those 136 should be done before releasing the 'early access version'. So there are some queues of tasks that will be delivered in the next builds (but critical bugs and show-stoppers will be fixed immediately). So feel free to sha…
