Progress Report
This update included a partial addition of a change we’re planning on making which is creating a custom animation set for each class. We were planning to implement a custom walk animation for each this update though this is pushed back to next update so we can finalize them.

To go with the new character animations next update we’re planning on adding the ability to sprint (includes a roughly short stamina bar) and the ability to crouch which would hopefully encourage moving around a bit more alongside making things feel less plain.

We also plan on tackling this by implementing a few other changes such as limited ammo reserves on weapons & the addition of ammo stations on the train with one spawning at the front for free & 2 others being able to be bought at the Train Upgrades to be placed onto the crate carts.

Later in the future we do plan on also implementing more tracks & enemies that have different weapons from the usual ones seen once we get some other features we want done out of the way first. We’ll be able to give another progress report on what other features we have planned for the rest of the ALPHA by next update.

For anybody wondering when we expect BETA to roll around, we’re hoping we’ll be able to at least start working on the BETA update around the summer of this year.

NOTES

Today marks the first anniversary for when Defend The Train was created and started development! Since the game is still in ALPHA we aren’t able to do anything super special though we added a special badge you can earn from joining today that will award a “Party” style for all of the default skins in BETA. The badge will be available until the end of the day.

We plan on spending around 2 weeks to work on the next update which will include the sprinting & crouching ability alongside a few other bigger changes that will go towards completing the ALPHA state.
