  • The Achievable Update! - 5 July 2023

    This update adds two new achievements as well as graphics and performance improvements and a host of new bug fixes. As always, If you have any ideas for future updates or find any bugs, let me know in the discussions tab or over on Twitter! Change Log 2 New achievements! You'll have to figure out how to get them. No spoilers here! Spoilers: Overloaded: go all electric, Friendly fire: blow up anything that moves Mines that are stuck to an enemy will no longer fall off when they leave the boundary Firehose gets a slight buff: Enemies who are on fire now explode a little harder, potentially setting other nearby enemies on fire Firehose graphics reworked Fix for game running slowly on certain machines Fix gui engine particles in wrong place on certain resolutions Fix for round guy not showing damage Fix crash on startup when transferring save for the first time Many other performance improv…

  • The Resolution Update! - 19 July 2021

    This update adds a new "Display Settings" option to set your own resolution. If your resolution isn't listed and the "Auto Apply" option isn't working, you can also change the resolution in the "gamedata.ini" file located in "%localappdata%/Space_Mayhem" Thanks to the community for suggesting this update! If you have any ideas for future updates or find any bugs, let me know in the discussions tab or over on Twitter! Change Log NEW FEATURE: Display settings/custom resolutions Window is now resizable in windowed mode Many, many behind the scenes changes to update to the newest version of GMS2

  • Bonus Update: Keybinds! - 24 July 2019

    Bonus update! Space Mayhem now has custom keybinds! Simply go to settings -> controls to remap your game's input to your heart's content! There is an alternate control scheme available that you can customize as well. To change your alts, just switch from "Keyboard" to "Keyboard Alt." Custom keybinds are a bit of an experimental feature right now so don't be alarmed if your custom key displays "char(x)." That simply means the game doesn't know how to display your fancy key. Worry not, however, the key will still work just fine in-game. As always, if you have any ideas for future updates or find any bugs, let me know in the discussions tab or over on Twitter! Tiny Change Log NEW FEATURE: Custom keymapping! Improvements to menu layouts Changes to ship select screen Maybe a few other things

  • The Space Spectacle Update! - 22 July 2019

    Hey everyone and welcome to the biggest update yet: the Space Spectacle Update! The game has been completely transformed with the addition of brand new and completely procedural backgrounds! The new backgrounds generate at the start of each game, giving you an infinite source of beautiful eye candy while you play. Love the classic look? Don't worry, you can always switch them off and on in the options menu! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F34003843%2Fcab7d645a3908fcfaa9c20032fd4116ae511d03b.jpg Along with the new backgrounds, this update brings three new powerups! The Orbiter, which will.. well.. orbit around you until it slams into anything that comes close. The Missile, which is a powerful ranged weapon that fires straight forward and creates a big explosion dealing massive damage to anything nearby. Finally, the Zapper will electrocute anything close t…

  • The Engine Upgrade! - 8 April 2019

    Hey everyone! It's The Engine Upgrade update! Space Mayhem has now been upgraded from GameMaker Studio 1 to 2! Along with that, I've gone through just about every line of code in a pretty massive refactor as well as improving a lot of the object design! This means lots and lots of performance improvements as well as future engine support, many, many bugs have been squashed, and numerous adjustments have been made. It also means I will be able to add new ships/ enemies/ weapons with far greater ease from now on. As a little bonus for me, it also means my code is far more readable. As usual, if you have any ideas for future updates or find a bug, let me know in the discussions tab or over on Twitter! This is a pretty major refactor and to be perfectly honest I don't remember most of the bugs that have been fixed (no, YOU'RE unorganized). Anyway, here's my best attempt at recalling: Change…

  • Patch Notes: v1.02 - 20 February 2019

    Hey everyone! It's been just over a month since launch, and it has been incredible reading your reviews and watching the communities' videos. It's honestly a dream come true that people enjoy the game. This update includes a lot of fixes as well as two nifty new sounds systems. The first one effects the pitch of your weapons to let you know when your ammo is running low. The second changes the music pace depending on how well you're doing. If you have ideas for future updates or find a bug, let me know in the discussions tab or over on Twitter! Change Log New pitch system to let you know when your weapons are running low. Updates to the Ghost's performance. It's much more fun now Math-related performance improvements (I will make this work on your grandma's computer) Fixes to Assembler's hitbox Fixes to Assembler's bomb hitbox Updates to some saving/loading code Fixes bomb screen effect…

  • Patch Notes: v1.01 - 19 January 2019

    Hey everyone! The first small patch has arrived! Thanks to everyone who reported bugs! Change Log Added platform warning before it shoots Modified speed boost for Hammerhead (faster) Large performance increase by removing unnecessary surface drawing Fixed weird mouse glitch Energy symbol is clearer in ship selection Gamepad no longer vibrates to no end when paused Shamefully fixed logo by adding in the 'R' in 'Chonic Vagrant' Improves depth - enemy bullets are easier to see ..and a few other changes!

  • Future Updates - 18 January 2019

    Hey everyone! First of all, I wanted to give you all a massive thank you for your wonderful response to Space Mayhem! It has been incredible seeing people play the game and compete for the top spots on the leaderboards! I have been doing occasional broadcasts on the game, which people seem to enjoy which is good because I love doing them! If you would like to watch them, keep an eye on the store page. They will also show up here. As for where the game is going from here, I would love to hear from you! I will continue to squash bugs as they are found but I would also love to add additional powerups and ships with their own leaderboards. If you have any other ideas for things you would like to see in the game, I would love to hear them! Thanks for reading!
