Itch.io link: https://woootbm.itch.io/automatic-messiah Content warning: features profanity, violence, and sometimes touches dark themes (fascism, sadism, slavery, etc.) due to post-apocalyptic setting. You are an ambassador from a distant solar system. Your mission is to establish diplomatic relations with a primitive planet called "Earth." After your hundred-year journey you arrive to find that the world has been destroyed. Now you must explore this wasteland and try to finish the job... one way or the other. Spoiler: Screenshots Announcement: This (0.4.x) will be the last of the public builds. After this, I will be having a closed "beta" during either 0.5.x or 0.6.x that will require sign-ups. Not only that, but during these closed beta tests I will be offering a (small) compensation to those who fill out provided feedback forms! Slots will be limited, so keep a look out for that! Features: Strategic turn-based combat with different player builds. Fight using either lethal, non-lethal, or diplomatic methods and change how the world perceives your character as well as unlocking different skills based on your path. A large, interconnected map with non-linear exploration (current available content not reflective of this). 3 difficulty settings and generous auto-save for a more modern experience. An objective system that both guides the player on the main path and provides side quest distractions. CURRENT STATE: v0.4.3 Early pre-alpha! Only three areas with three dungeons and one city hub. Known issues: Mouse movement frequently has pathing issues Controller supported but is not recommended due to missing functions. If so inclined, I have made a feedback form for players who wish to give their thoughts! https://forms.gle/YLJy3VJSC2W7A66y6 You can also go straight to the comments if you like; all feedback is welcome! Please leave a rating on the Itch page. Good or bad, I think those help with visibility (and it's useful feedback for me from folks who don't wanna type a bunch of stuff).

Many tracks are new/replaced, a couple remain in some areas New battlebacks added to bring this feature back Added animations for looting random loot events Added lore interactables Added hit sounds and death sounds New quest complete UI QoL changes Made map transitions function on touch rather than interact Updated Desperation/Hopeless SFX to be unique and animation larger Added "to next level" to Exp gauge Combat now uses big collision boxes rather than region restrictions Now says "NO EFFECT" when a diplomacy skill fails Balance stuff Buff to enemy armor values: 66, 75, 85, 95% Reduced HP to compensate Added attributes for Health and Battery Increased Nunchaku "High Damage" Increase damage of BTac KIP40 primary fire Shotgun reload made more expensive Increased damage of Bleed and Shocked (melee mods) Adjusted damage curves of Destabilizer and Nullifier (again) Add knockdown to Anti-Riot PBR Carbine alt-fire Buff to Lightwall Replaced Battery Upgrade (Fabricator) with Adrenaline Surge Replaced Recharge Protocol with Mega Scan Both points above are cuts as the old programs weren't that useful or interesting Removed weakest roll from Painstar Increased damage of Cursed Scythe's basic skill Add weakpoint damage bonus to deadly/knockout strike programs Increased Deadly Strike program to +2 charges Removed the -5% damage on Knockout Strike Changed Cattle Prod alt-fire to be bonus damage slot machine Changed C-Wave AB30mm alt fire to deal bonus direct hit damage before doing normal aoe Changed Biocarbon Plates to give bonus health instead of damage reduction Increase purchase cost of melee weapons Adjusted purchase cost of guns and T0 items Attribute point reward for completing tutorial section Lots of alt-fire Battery cost adjustments Bug fixes Fixed logic of Mutadog Matriach summoning adds Fixed nameplate alignment Fixed glow on rad barrels Changed rad barrels in outdoor maps to generic reward Spoiler: v0.3.10 Non-boss enemies will now gain a big damage buff when they are the last remaining enemy Optimize Melee Approach now has significantly increased effect against enemies with this buff On Casual difficulty, they will instead gain a debuff reducing their HP and Disposition to 1% of max Fixed issue with framerate tanking after loading a save Fixed issue where several enemies were immune to the Shocked status Minor text changes Spoiler: v0.3.9 AI art has been removed and replaced by stock assets Minor bug fixes Minor text changes Spoiler: v0.3.8 Every weapon now has a secondary skill that can be unlocked Story intro edited to be overall faster and get player into a dungeon sooner UI updates for battle, equip, skills, store, and supplies: No more outdated info Consistency of information: flavor text at the top, stats in the big window Skills no longer have flavor text Crafting items now show up in inventory Recipes show their…

It's been a while, but 0.4.3 is now here!

There are a number of big changes:

New zones: Apex Landing and The Apex
New music added. Many tracks are new/replaced, a couple remain in some areas
New battlebacks added to bring this feature back
Added animations for looting random loot events
Added lore interactables
Added hit sounds and death sounds
New quest complete UI

I'll update the change log in the original post with the full list of changes (although I'm sure there's many small things I forgot to write down).

The BIG news is that this (0.4.x) will be the last of the public builds. After this, I will be having a closed "beta" during either 0.5.x or 0.6.x that will require sign-ups.

Not only that, but during these closed beta tests I will be offering a (small) compensation to those who fill out provided feedback forms!

Slots will be limited, so keep a look out for that!
