FUTURE PLANS

The future for Dark Moon, I want to expand on it more, offer a more expansive story, introduce some NPC's and other systems to round out the game-play more. 
More locations, I'd like to make the journey harder on this moon, but more locations are a must to keep it fresh. exploring an abandoned research station, Colony, old mines etc. I have plans for them all with more to do, but still retains that core retro essence. I don't want it to become more than it needs to be. 

Of course a bigger game will need more things. like a checkpoint system, more items and other scenarios and situations. 

What's in the next update? 

The next update will feature a new mechanic that I think will improve upon the game-play more.

SIMPLE CRAFTING SYSTEM

Currently when you search a storage box, there's a chance it will be empty, and that's just not fun is it. So I've had an idea where each box will contain junk if it doesn't give you something you can use right away. The junk can be saved up and when you have a certain amount you will be able to craft a full ammo clip, some more oxygen, or med-kits. 

RELOADING

Right now you can fire the gun and use bullets until they are all gone. but adding in a 8 rond magazine and a reload function could force the use of the melee more if you're in a tight spot and don't have enough time to reload. it can make encounters more tough with that consideration, but I think it gives an opportunity to have to think more tactically. And who doesn't love a juice reload animation and sound effect right? 

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Currently the game can throw out a storm that causes visibility problems, but I think this could be expanded on.

- areas that could cause you to move slower.

- areas that could cause damage if you step in them.

FINAL WORDS

Thank you again for trying the game, I'd always love to hear your thoughts and ideas on it too, I can't do them all of course, but its great to have community feedback. So if you have a thought that could improve Dark Moon i'm happy to listen.
