Denver Game Expo & Wraiths

Last weekend my lovely wife and I had a table at the Denver Indie Game Expo. The expo went really well. I got to sit and play Knockback with people all day and make a lot of new friends. We had a lot of people come and play Knockback and give us some very constructive feedback.

The two biggest requests were more enemy types and crits. Well, I've added both of these into the latest development build. The new enemies are all wraiths, a spearman, swordsman and mage. You can see what they look like in the attached video. Since the wraiths have helmets and the spearman has a shield, I decided to introduce "invincible" body parts as well as crits. So the wraiths all have invincible heads and shields, while their chest area is the crit section. The ghouls, zombies & grotesques all have headshot crits but the big festering ghoul has pustules as crits. I'll see how it plays over the next few days with my boys.
