- Bullet Hell ADVANCED: 2023 Roadmap - 4 February 2023
Let's throw down everything going on with Bullet Hell ADANCED and the ongoing Unreal Engine 5 upgrade. Everything now compiles. The .EXE is stable and launches. Boom. We're in business. Unfortunately so many features are being added that the Unreal Engine 5 update will not be available till later this year. What we have in the pipeline for you: Solar System Mode When you're not engaged in combat at the fleet level, you'll play a turn based movement game where the minimap is an entire solar system. Heavily inspired by the Mass Effect map and the works of Robotech/Battlestar Gallactica/The Expanse/Ender's Game: Is a moon between you and another planet's long range line-of-sight fleet detection satellite with linked orbital heavy-laz-cannons? Is there a fleet behind an adjacent moon you're about to move to? Should you use scarce fuel resources to fold space to anywhere in the same solar sy…
- Fleet Formations Enabled! 5/6/2022 Patch Notes - 7 May 2022
Fleet Formation has been programmed. When a system has been clear of hostiles, you can enter the Command Fleet Mode (default key 'M') then press the Fleet Formation button in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will enable you to change the formation of your fleet as you see fit. This feature is a prerequisite to the upcoming Shipyard systems, which will enable the player to purchase new ships for their fleet. It will also give players an edge on battles in which the fleet gains initiative. Initiative will be important for all encounters, and will be determined by the procedurally generated events the player fleet encounters, as well as soon to come systems that the player will be upgraded. Upgrading sensors, engines and recruiting more powerful psykers as crew members will increase the chances of the player gaining favorable intiative. Initiative, after stats are calculated will…
- Hotfix update 5/4/22 - 5 May 2022
5/4/2022 hotfix notes: Fixed the lighting in the Main Menu. The Main Menu now includes a link to the Discord. Fire Mission action (default middle mouse button) now spawns an effect showing which enemy capital ship your fleet will be firing upon. Fixed Event systems not spawning enemies nor allowing you to continue the game. Fixed collisions for multiple enemy capital ships. Store systems now bring up the store. Added a visual effect showing when the Player's starfighter is being healed and reloaded when within mothership range. More to come!

- Mini-Boss Solar System now active - 11 January 2021
New solar system has come online! The Mini-Boss solar system is now active and when you warp into it you will fight a Mini-Boss along with an escort fleet. This new solar system is an attempt to showcase the bullet hell within a bullet hell scale push. Still rough, but we're going for a brave new concept. New afterburner effect for when you're in Fighter Mode. Changed the spawn location code for Hostile and Extreme-Hostile solar systems. Should give for a more "us" vs "them" battle layout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLBEDUpA4u0
