[h2]I reactivated the old version of Genesis! Which those who saw the birth of Kring know.... [/h2] [previewyoutube=OJNQ96ZCWkM;full][/previewyoutube] Since it's really weird and cryptic, I decided a while back to remake it from scratch by making the gameplay a little more intelligible and flowing by putting an option that allowed the old version to be reactivated. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42892703/ade816da8111594d9103b9fa2bdf04ccf9cd714d.png[/img] Then, in the weeks before the release, seeing that crashes generated by the old code from the old version of Genesis would pop up from time to time, I disabled it and made it inaccessible in order to prevent the game from crashing.

The code in the old version of Genesis is really old and rather fragile... [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42892703/1b5b41591159168cefe0d5b882c035c14bc18279.png[/img] Go into the OPTIONS and turn on the second-to-last option “GENESIS VERSION” to “ORIGINAL and CRYPTIC” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42892703/71e60ea0b3ac4642793f0f4222185ab58a20c97e.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42892703/e55ee1ecdcc88634276d1bbcdc3fdb2ac38d1079.png[/img] Also: [b]- PARASITE FIGHTER:[/b] I inserted PAUSE!!! Press the “P” key to pause the game. It looks like a small thing but it's not :) basically I had to put my hands in all the items in the game! But now it's done and it will also come in handy for future developments of the game. - I also added new firing types and animations of the spaceship when it fires. If you want the cheat to change the firing type, press F5 during the game. [b]- BIODISSEY:[/b] Now, when you enter Biodissey you will find available all the resources you have collected in New Genesis. Now, accessing Biodissey (which is the 4X section of Kring - yet another game within a game!) is not a simple matter: first you have to finish all of New Genesis, collecting as many resources as you can; then go to the Leaderboard (on the icon of which will be Biodissey), you will see all the resources you have collected, and click the Rotating Star; so you go to the Tartar screen, which will look different than usual. Load up your Kring army and set off. There you will arrive in the Biodissey, with all the resources (that you have previously collected in New Genesis) available! [i][u]Note[/u]: Biodissey is still LOTS of work-in-progress. As soon as I finish Parasite Fighter (in which I now have to implement the artificial intelligences of the various enemies and create a decent increasing difficulty progression) I'll get back into it and finish it. I can't wait to get back into healthy data game design![/i] I hope that some of you guys will play this new Kring version and tell me what you think! Have a great week! Ivan Venturi
