Devlog #2

Hi guys! Not sure why Im logging so many hours at a time, but regardless this is a another devlog for my gamer.

Play it at www.digwars.hackclub.app!

Anyways, Ive done a LOT of stuff since my last devlog.

1. SFX

All sfx were created by me using bfxr.net and exported as WAV files and imported into my game. I currently have 16 total sfx!

List:

Shooting SFX - Basic pew sound for shooting

Drone Spawn - A little modern/motorised whirring type sound, lasts very short duration

Rock Hit - Something that sounds like a rock being chipped except more 2d/gamified

Rock Break - A light explosion/destroyal sound when a rock is destroyed

Ore Break - Similar to rock break except a little more high pitched for a rock break which has gem(s) inside it

Gem Pickup - A coin collecting type sound or a nice ding for a currency collecting type sound

Satchel Full - A warning type sound that only sounds for like 1.5 seconds to notify the user to bank their gems

Deposit Tick - A repeated tick sound that plays when depositing gems

Deposit Done - A celebration or “yay” kinda sfx when the gems have all been deposited.

Bank Celebration - Another nice ding except more intense as an achievement

Combat Hit - A adrenaline rushing boop collision noise

Combat Hurt - A health lowering typa sfx

Combat Kill - Another adrenaline rushing exciting noise (srry cant describe lol)

Death On Screen - Similar to combat kill, less intense

Button UI Click - Just ur normal mouse click sound

Rammer Movement - A whirring sound that is calm and low

Also added sound options, as in screenshot 1.

2. Bots

Not much to say here I added bots which move very much like human players and play like them, they were heavily tested, and improvised by analyzing where they got stuck, what they were missing, etc.

Total of 40 bots for now due to the massive arena size.

Initially added chat mechanics for the bots using deepseek api but that didnt go well.

3. Improved tutorial + New UI

I did a complete overhaul on the UI and made it look pretty much new (though I have to improve it more it still looks slightly bad)

Also made a WAYYY better tutorial! Its really awesome, gives u a nice small sandbox like arena just to learn every single one of the game mechanics. It uses a tiny part of the cpu and ram from the overall nest server.

Thanks for reading this! Check out my game if yall want to as well; Cya next time!
