Version 1.1 is out!


Hello dear indie games enthusiasts,

I collected all feedback I got after the release of Night of the Living Scarecrows and after some time away I spent the last month or so integrating the feedback into the game and now the updated version is ready to be played! The most significant changes are simple reloading and save systems. A clip capacity has been added for both weapons and the weapon reloads automatically when the clip is empty. Also you now don't have to finish the game in one go! The game remembers the last level you visited and you can start that level again if you exit the game and return to it later.

Not all feedback was implemented though. There were some requested features or changes that would require more time that I am willing to sacrifice at this moment. Also a request for short invulnerability after being hit by an enemy was not implemented simply becuase it would go against the desired gameplay - what I had in mind was more tactical gameplay where you lure out enemies to kill them one by one. There is the possibility to go Rambo style, but it will be harder for you.

Anyway, thanks to every one of you who downloaded and played the game, and also to anyone that is yet to do so. I appreciate all the feedback. I honestly din't expect that anyone apart from a few friends will play this. There will be no further updates for NotLS in the forseeable future, as it is time to move on and try something new. I will let you all know about what's in the cooking when the time is right.

Until then, safe travels.
