S T R A Y J A C K A L S (v1.2 - Updated 21/Nov/24)

I loved the idea of using different timelines in a single mod actually!

But only timeline lacking is present day I think

But I definitely loved this other than that, especially the "Desperado" class because it features classic, simple 19th century arsenal.

Thanks! I don't plan on adding new classes, but i hope you have fun with them =)

Thanks! I don't plan on adding new classes, but i hope you have fun with them =)

You're very welcome, you made lots of mods that includes modern arsenal already All of them are fun to play like this

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

After basically five months, this mod recevied an update!

I felt there were still some things to add to it, and the feedback from players left me with no other choice than to work on it again.

The update is small but it'll be worth it! There's a new weapon for the Barbarian, a Game Over screen, better accuracy for the Desperado and more damage for the Technomancer melee!

- New weapon for the Barbarian - Tim's Book; Spawns in BFG9000 spots.
- Lowered volume of all menu sounds by 40%.
- Rewrote a part of the tracers's code, thanks to LossForWords.
- New sprites for the A.E.G.I.S. shield hit, from Disruptor.
- Technomancer's melee got buffed slightly.
- Desperado's tracers were lowered accordingly and now the rifle
won't shoot too much above the crosshair, making sniping easier.
- Added a Game Over Screen!

Have fun!

Double posting because i forgot to post the preview of the game over screen just in case you're not looking to play a game just to die.

I of course have made a video when i found this masterpiece

[Facínora]

I finally tried Stray Jackals out and published this video with it:

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Absolutely loved the combination!

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Bumping this for a small dev diary.

Stray Jackals v1.2 is basically done. It needs some playtesting, but i can assure you the changelog is going to be BIG.

I added a dash movement for better mobility, buffed the hell out of the Barbarian, changed a lot of his special attacks, added a secret upgrade for each class, and many other cool things.

Hope you like it.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Apologies for the double bump.
Just wanted to showcase the dash movement as well as how the weapon upgrades are obtained. Ever hated how the Technomancer's Uzis run out of ammo quickly?

It's solved now. The uzi consumes one ammo every two shots. But that's not even half of the new changes. I honestly can't wait to update this.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

It's here!

I was delaying it a bit for spriting reasons, but it's finally here!

You can dash, you can unlock secret weapons, you can kill monsters more easily, classes were buffed, weapons are more lethal... whatever you need, the mod is better! I won't take too much explaining the changelog, because as you can see in the spoiler... it's huge!

---

GENERAL CHANGES:
- Weapon upgrades are now in!
To obtain these upgrades, you can complete things in stages (such as grabbing
all items, kiling all monsters or finding all secrets), 15 times.
(You DON'T need to complete 15 stages! Just complete any conditions 15 times.)

Double tap in any direction to dash. Dashing in the air
grants you a small jumping boost.
