Hi ^
This is my usual monthly development update where I list work on various projects of mine I've done in the past 30 days.
I had to change priorities a little bit from working on story mode-related entities for Plazma Burst 3 to focusing on changes that will be needed for closed beta to start in a more proper way (would have needed to make those changes anyway so it doesn't delay the release).
Hopefully, closed beta will be ready on Oct...
2025-10-11 10:15:46 +0000 UTC View PostBeta, spoilers, streaming and video recording
I do plan to allow streaming, video recording and publishing of whatever happens in Plazma Burst 3 closed beta version.
Considering that, should I try removing anything that could be deemed as story mode spoilers in closed beta? Including weapons, vehicles made for story mode, gadgets, some of skins.
At the same time showing more could be considered a better feedback and take less time to prepare beta. Could be more interesting to participating players/map makers too ^

Should I pay for X/Twitter checkmark?
I don't really know if it is worth it, as far as I know it may advertise my posts as well as make my new posts not hidden to users who do not have X/Twitter accounts.
In theory it could advertise my monthly update posts but can't really tell if it will even do anything.

I'm definitely stunlocked from sudden +21 new supporters in 4 days. I guess closed (?) beta before full release may really happen in upcoming months.
Could be nice to figure out main menu soundtrack, Multiplayer match creation UI and main menu background UI in addition to setting up server infrastructure at the moment.
Thank you for the raise!

Most grenades cast shadows in Plazma Burst 3 now, which does help with clarity in 3D view mode.
Big part of this month's Plazma Burst 3 updates are for Map/Modules to store global per-Map/Module as well as per-player data which could be anything from story mode progress (for example it makes game be able to remember decisions made in previous levels for example, even if player reloads game) to making custom ranking systems that have their own leaderboar...

Been working on new version of C-Entity for Plazma Burst 3 - should bring variety to gameplay yet it seemed to not take too long time to make since it reuses big part of movement logic that already existed for other C-Entity. Besides that - UI, Level Editor fixes and more TGS Mobile progress, such as caption flip when facing left direction and wheel lightmap no longer includes local shadows.

Been working on Plazma Burst 2 HTML5 port. It seems that previous poll results somewhat changed with new supporters ^
I guess it is nice to know that people do want to see Plazma Burst 2 be back in browsers and in a hopefully better state. I can't say I'll promise much in terms of multiplayer mode since serious multiplayer changes would basically break plenty of custom maps if it got to at least the level of Star Defenders 2D netcode.
Besides that, I've made a new gameplay featur...

Big part of past month was spent with remaking Plazma Burst 2 entities and vehicles in a new engine, there still work to do though. It does mean that re-making Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past as well as Plazma Burst 2 in a new engine can be a quite possible thing. I do believe it will be important to let new players be able to experience the complete story without need to try and run Flash Player versions of prequels (which turned out to be an impossible task for most players).

More work on re-implementing existing features from Plazma Burst 2, but in a better way, hopefully. Not too sure about Destruction and Rage effects, they probably will be kept for custom maps only, at least in this cartoonish form.
Today's video should showcase most of the new changes (recorded on my melting PC. Will give a try to thermal paste renewal, maybe it will help).
These are not all PB2 features I want to re-add, there are still fanart update stuff to do.
Development update - June 9, 2024
Installed Ubuntu, did a lot of bug fixes and important improvements. I can say that Plazma Burst 3 does work in Ubuntu now.
Configured Ubuntu development environment for tests, been also testing camera that inherits player velocity, essentially creating an in-between variant of "fast" and "slow" camera from Plazma Burst 2. Implemented thrown status for guns and grenades instead of all guns being deadly by default even towards teammates.

Some UI animations added and more work towards making game work in offline mode and be generally more lightweight for the server to run while shortening time it will take to load screens that might receive updates independently from game updates later on.

Today's videos shows some of previously not seen new game mechanics, some of which might be quite annoying too. But still, fun nonetheless. New visual/sound effect improvements too.
At the end of the video there is a map demo as requested by boom5, this is the same video that I posted in PBD Discord server recently.

This is not a development update, just wanted to make a post to which free followers can also reply to.
Recently, I've been re-implementing low health beeps, death beep sounds and adding the new sound when player is being healed, which also cancels death beep. Plus plenty of volume decreasing when in replay mode and when death beeps happen too frequently due to repeated healing while taking damage. Basically, all this stuff that was in PB2 was still missing in PB3.

Added a new type of hint-like objects - "options & prompt"-like ones. These should open the possibility to make branching dialogues in maps as well as allow creation of polls. Prompting could also be used to implement arbitrary input to talk to some kind of AI-powered NPCs, to hide possible options and interpret player's response by key words, or to simply suggest custom response for a map designer to consider.
The poll option could be used to let players playing in cooperativ...
