Just a few bug fixes/improvements. I'm still investigating some of the problems and causes of occasional crashes. Maybe some people played it with less than 16 Gig of RAM, but surely not the majority. I have fiddled with the music import settings as I think that was using a lot of RAM causing maybe some of the crashes.

Now the game saves every time you get to the main base. It's still best to save manually, but at least if there's a crash after you finish a level, you can "Continue" from the main base.

I've made the "Random" campaign unavailable for now since it has some problems. I will re-add it after doing some more testing. "Standard" is still best for first timers anyway, being slightly curated.

I Added in-game options for mouse sensitivity and music volume, without having to go to the main menu.

Added default "H" for quick(er) use of repair kits.

Reduced speed of enemy projectiles by a further 10%.

Reduced enemy accuracy by about 10%.

Increased player accuracy by 20%.

Added a number of messages:

an "Out of ammo!" message after seeing so many streamers wonder why their gun wasn't shooting anymore.

Likewise a message about using the map to find keys if you missed them.

A message about vases containing kreds as most people would shoot them from afar for fun and never collect the kreds.

a message about new skillpoints when levelling up, as many players didn't allocate them, undermining character growth.

Also added a warning about buying the more expensive repair kit at the beginning since with low MaxHP it's basically a waste of kreds.

"You can jump to activate the lift", as most people would go out and in again, which is unnecessary.

To get out of the shops you can either press the exit button or press "E", so now the button says "(E)xit"

The equipment shop, E-Shop01, now has a "current" tag on your current piece(s) of equipment. I saw too many people waste money to purchase something worse than what they had, regardless of the warning, which most people don't read anyway.

Fixed planet video not playing at the start.

Removed some bugs that could show up when loading in the generators levels.

2 new songs.

A few other minor fixes.

Due to some technical difficulties, release has had to be delayed a few days. I am planning on April the 3rd, four days from today, if that is enough time for Steam to sort their side of things out, if not alternatively the 6th. Either way we have to wait for Steam to come back t

New Trailer and Demo update 1.1

It was brought to my attention that the RPG and Roguelite elements of the game weren't quite clear, so I made one last trailer just to better outline them. As for the Demo Update to 1.1: Fixed resolution changing automatically to the lowest when launching the game a second time,

I'm happy to announce the release of the demo.

There were a lot of details to take care of.

This is a quick recap:

Thing added:

Description of powers when you hover
Autosaves
Working Audio Options
Gameplay options (autosave frequency, zoom toggle, shop animations)
Resizable Keybinding depending on aspect ratios
TAB brings up a list of keys
implemented "Shockwave" power
added "live" Field of View option
Zooming in and out in map view
"QuickStart" option just for the demo
Corrected stretching textures in starting level with triplanar shading (more to come)
Added arrows indicating items on higher or lower floors for spaceship level 2 (more to come)
Brief explanation of map when entering the first planet mission.

Fixes:

Menu "Continue" item could be clicked repeatedly causing it to restart the teleport each time
muzzle flashes where wrong when changing FoV, and when zooming in.
fixed the sequence of missions being different in different aspect ratios (Now they are always the same, regardless of aspect ratio)
fixed inconsistencies at the start between game difficulties when hovering
Fixed tile near the starting waterfall where you could see behind and even jump out of the level.
Fixed image of newfound powers not showing albeit you had it and could use it.
Corrected lingering panel on galactic map in 21/9
Fixed cargo in second mission being picked up in completely unrelated places. (wrong BoxCollider)
Fixed weapons that were reloading without showing the down movement.
Fixed saves in generators level that were reloading with no enemies, making it impossible to progress.
Fixed image backgrounds that were too bright on pc.
Fixed Castle gates not showing which key was required.
Fixed hornet rifle not changing color when upgrading to a different one.
Fixed description not appearing when picking up certain objects.
Corrected objective in first level from "reach the next area" to "reach the main base".
Other minor fixes.

Please note: right now only the English language is available.

The game is optimised for 16/9, other aspect ratios are supported but they are still a work in progress. (if you use a different aspect ratio and find something that should be fixed don't hesitate to get in touch)

Make sure your computer meets the basic configuration.

Demo and Release Update

Due to a number of things that I had to deal with in Real Life, namely stuff at work and negotiations for the lease extension, I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to have, and I wasn't able to do as much as I had hoped. Maybe I'm a bit burnt out as well. Regardless,

Playtest Limitations: The game is optimized for 16/9. Other aspect ratios, tested between 4/3 and 21/9, will have some more or less known graphical and gameplay inaccuracies but still should be basically playable. Please note that if you change aspect ratio, you MUST quit and rel

Though much has been done, much still needs to be done.
What is ahead the most is the number of tilesets: currently there are 25 tilesets of the final 30.
Divided by setting, which I refer to as "environments", they are:
planet: 6
space ship/station : 7 (6 + 1 with different, unique tiles)
space tunnels, a more claustrophobic space ship with unique vents: 1
Castle-like structure: 2 (one daytime, one dark)
Mine: 1
Temple: 6
Droid ship/station 2
Core functionalities have been implemented; 7 different weapons, "kreds" to upgrade weapons, mission points earned by finishing missions with which to purchase permanent upgrades. Between 100 and 120 basic materials for the levels. Pickupables: biochips, which add to your basic stats, power boosters which either unlock a new power or improve it, energy globes (you need energy to use the powers).
A number of different types of locked doors and relative keys.
Leveling up and Character page, Inventory page, Powers page.
Basic Save system.

To do:
Connect fluidly all the different tilesets from the galactic map in the main base. At the moment only the first 3-4 levels can be played from the start.
Tilesets: a second mine, 2 droid, another 2 between planet temple or droid.
Missions: a number of mission objectives are repeated right now. Ideally there should be something unique for each planet, with the exception of a very few that are simply: "Kill all the enemies in the level".
Powers: apart from the "Teleport" power that gets you back to base and viceversa, all other (7) powers need to be implemented.
There is some audio and music but more is needed.
Menus/options etc. Right now you can only start a new game.
Enemies: the needed 30 models have been acquired, but right now only 5 or 6 do their job, the others still need to be made "operational": animation where needed , A.I., weapon mechanics working as expected, Hitboxes. etc
The e-shops in the various parts of the base: right now the first 2 are fully functional, a third is in the works, 2 still needed for the final 5.
Overhead map, with indicators of mission objectives, keys and doors.
Performance optimization, some of which I have already done, but I'm always looking to improve it.
Correct discrepancies in textures, object sizes, stuff like keys appearing in unreachable areas and whatnot. etc in all 30 scenes.
Configureable keyboard keys at some point.
At least some localization at some point.
Lots of polish and debugging as needed.
Promotion.
Preparing for testing and demo.

Some of these things might change as development goes on.
Some specific design decisions still need to be made.
Indicative release date at the moment is Q4 2025.
Just wanted to keep everyone up to date.
