The UNFP's been kicked in the teeth by a G'ell invasion force and their last and only hope is a planetary outpost and its fleet of experimental DSP MkI Forward Assault Fighters and anyone marshal enough to strap into one and forcefully accept some apologies.
Greetings Pilots,
Apologies for the delay in updates - we needed a little bit of downtime from the crazy crunch leading up to launch, but we're back on it and shaping things up.
So, we just pushed version 0.3.8 to the BETA branch. This is officially [b]"ACT 1 Polish, Round 1"[/b]. Here is what has changed:
updated default bullets
fix sniper graphics, fire less frequent, slight reduction in power
remove crumbles from asteroid graphics
giant enemy plasma balls should not be destroyable
adjusted intro timing
return kamikaze raiders to original color
more warning time on huge asteroids
reduce death blossom power - it’s OP
big cyclone drone should shoot plasma balls
more attention brought to warnings
more enemy events for 1-1
more enemy events for 1-2
more enemy events for 1-3
updated grid background in options screen
speed fx when passing through space gate rings
weapon previews in the shop
cannon a bit more powerful, less blowback
new carbomite animations
boss - parts update
boss - tank form refinement
boss - fins oscillate
boss - fixed some janky looking part positions
boss - tank speed fx
boss - improved turret flashing animations
replaced invulnerable level 3 enemies with starfish challenges
revised level 1 night background variation
increased carbomite drop frequency on level 3
improved minor cyclone drone bullet pattern
fixed: some seekers face the wrong way
The most significant change you might notice are some new enemy patterns in all 3 levels, and weapon previews the in the shop. the rest are all very subtle, but do add up!
The next major update will be [b]."ACT 1 Polish, Round 2"[/b]., which will have new player weapon animations, even more polish on the boss, some new enemy events and just tighten things up in general. When it's solid we'll push it to the default branch, then it's on to ACT 2 :)
We hope you enjoy it!
