V0.13.0 Update

Happy 2025! 

For this update and the month of December I mainly worked on the queen enemy. It'll be the boss for the first level and the demo. It was way more complicated than I thought because I had to rig it in a different way. Since the model is so large, all the legs and spine had to be procedurally generated, which I had to learn.

The queen actually does not attack you directly. It continuously spawns smaller enemies to attack you. It is meant to counter the player that has built up a really strong base. They have leave the base to take down this enemy or else be overwhelmed by the queen's spawns.

Some other updates:

• Enemies now have health bars. Finally.
• A grid preview now appears when selecting a building to place. This takes out the guess work in lining up buildings
• Bug fixes with sounds always being heard. Now sounds are spatially aware.
• Added a flamethrower attack type to the player! Other parts of the game need to be balanced now, but the player was missing a mass AOE attack to take out large hordes.

These days I'm finding it hard to be motivated to work on the game. So for the next update, instead of queueing up a list of tasks, I'm going to work on whatever I find exciting! Hopefully next month when I report back the features are cool.
