Tea For God

"Tasks", the endless mode is now available. Making "tasks" happen required lots of changes in the game and engine. The actual content (including tasks) was just a part of it. For most of the fixes in the main branch, I tended to write them down and have the list as actual as possible, but I did not include into the release notes the changes done on "endless mode" branch. Therefore, the list below contains almost solely content changes: - added endless mode (tasks) - tasks available: - exploration - interface box search - item hunt - hacking interface boxes - data core retrieval - system stabilisation - stop the intrusion - new passive EXMs: - weapon collector (weapon loot is way more often) - energy retainer (on each shot you get free energy to the other hand) - build in magazine (all weapons you have have magazines) - firepower (greater cost/chamber, even more damage) - emergency revival (if your health reaches zero, you get some health restored which costs you energy + 3 seconds of invincibility - explosion resistance (you only get 25% damage from explosions) - new active EXMs: - remote control (activates mines, spiderbots, opens chargers, drops down

As I am working on the endless mode for Tea For God, I'd like to share some details describing the initial release and plans for the future. The current mode will be still available as "story mode" and it will be possible to switch between the two. My main idea about the initial release of the endless mode is to setup a main loop for a mode that can be worked upon. With all the basic elements in place, it will be possible to provide more gradual updates more often. New weapon nodes, new EXMs, new enemies, new places. Some of the new content may appear in the story mode but most will be unique to the endless mode. One of the important features that also required certain changes in the engine is the idea that it should be possible to select a task, do it, come back and select another one while in-character. No exiting to the menu, etc. To make it possible, all the tasks will currrently start and end in the same place - your ship. This is where you will be able to select the next task, install upgrades, select (and mix) weapons and so on. This is also where you will be coming back after ending the task (which also doesn't matter if you will complete the objectives
