- The new Version is Live now! (22122017ea) - 22 December 2017
This update was mainly shaped by the Player bug. The Player disapeared sometines or was not spawned. Bugs are really hard to fix if they can't be reproduced and aditionally appear seldom. Then the only choice seems to be to setup up the logic from scratch. Finally the bug was fixed because of a refactoring of the logic. Aditional improvements: - Feature added: Sell a Collection of Gems and get one Attribute Point to buy an upgrade. - Menu Backgrounds overworked. - Glitch-Fix: It was possible to show the pause menu during the main menues. - Main Menu - Playership burn effect, turned off because of Player feedback. - Narrator turned off because of player feedback. - Wing Tilt reduced by 2 Points - When the player ship was navigated left and right, the ship tilted the wings too much. - Speed Malus deleted from gameplay and Tooltips - The player ship became slower the more load and upgrades…
- New Version in progress! - 20 December 2017
At the moment several improvements are processed for the new version: - Main Menu - Playership burn effect, turned off because of Player feedback. -Narrator turned off because of player feedback. - Wing Tilt reduced by 2 Points - When the player ship was navigated left and right, the ship tilted the wings too much. - Speed Malus deleted from gameplay and Tooltips - The player ship became slower the more load and upgrades it carried. - New Option implemented - this options shows the collider of the player ship so it is more easy to navigate the ship through bullet hell. - Playership size reduced by 10% beause of player feedback, this will make the bullet hell more fair. - Player sometimes disabpears (fix attempt 2 - the bug could not clearly reproduced so the next fix is on suspect in the game logic) - Any feedback how this bug could be reproduced is highly appreciated. - Player Collider…
- The new Version is available now! - 18 December 2017
A new version is processed at the moment and bringing several fixes and improvements: fix: Player-Disappear-Bug: In some situations it happend that the player disappeared and the game was not over. This is fixed now. fix: A material was missing and was therefore shown as pink square. Colliders were checked, some of the colliders where bigger than the models and therefore reduced. This should lead to a better shmup-gameplay-feeling. More bullets were implemented from start, because Mission 1 was too easy. The Playership movement was adjusted for the next version (Z-Min is now plus 2 Units). So as a result there is more space to evade bullets. D-Pad support implemented, as well as another default shoot key. Square and Y. Happy Playing!
