| Demo Update 02-26 | 2024-02-26 | The demo version of Trace Hunters has seen some more updates just in time for the Dinos vs. Robots fest. These are small, but hopefully noticeable changes primarily focused on the enemy AI. Instead of sitting around waiting for you to destroy them, the drones in the demo will respond to attack you more aggressively. In addition you'll find: Updated animations on the shield More sounds across all actions in the game Some touch ups to the environment to help it flow better. Enjoy the festival and thanks for playing! |
| Updated Demo! | 2024-02-15 | A new demo update is live! In this version, you'll find that enemies have got a bit smarter and have moved around some from their previous locations. Also, a couple smaller changes from the previous builds if you played: There is now an options menu! You can configure audio and graphics settings as you like now. Ammo pickups are available in case you've been trigger happy A vehicle repair pickup is on the map. Keep an eye out for it if you're barely running. |
| Small Demo Build Update | 2024-02-02 | I just published a small update to the demo build to include a quality of life feature. It adds a prompt to reset the vehicle in case you are stuck on your back and don't know the correct input to flip yourself over. Hope you enjoy the demo! |
| First Demo Version Available! | 2024-01-29 | The first demo for Trace Hunters is now live! In this demo, you will play through an early, shorter level of the game. The demo is single player and does not include additional weapons. The game is not feature complete at this point, but at a stage where you can get a feeling for combat and have fun blasting robots! When Trace Hunters progresses to a more feature complete state, I will publish an updated demo with additional content, so keep watch. |
