AMC Squad, a free Build Engine game (and technically Duke3D fan game) that I've devopsed some Linux builds for, has just this weekend dropped a major quality-of-life overhaul of their current release, from nicer menu fonts to entire new gameplay systems
it's a little haphazard in places but definitely falls on the charming side of that rather than cringe, and it's got a load of very Out There stuff for a Build game:
- locational damage on enemies, with different ammo/weapon resistances between body parts and enemy types
- approaching a dozen different playable characters, some of which are secret/unlockable, with wildly different gameplay styles
- a research-based equipment upgrade system with upgrades that persist between levels (and even into new games if you so wish)
- a hub base level with customisation and upgrade options, and fun little explorable quarters for many of the characters
- currently four full game length episodes, some with multiple endings, and a fifth one in the pipeline (but not likely to be out before next year)
- you fuckin name it
- just look at their wonderfully ridiculous promo art!
also if you're a terrible Linux dork like I am, aside from the Linux executable included in the main download I've also made a Flatpak build for ease of use!
