Balance Changes
Machine Gun
Machine Gun had bullet limit problems and it confused too many players, so I removed them, the limit was only there to prevent having too many bullets on screen
- Removed bullet limit
- Reduced bullet lifetime in half
Rocket:
Changed the rocket price to be more accessible to allow for early start loadouts
- Starting Cost (100>80) Procedural Cost (55>60)
Recruitments:
Same goes with recruitments
- Starting Cost (50>40) Procedural Cost (35>40)
Pulse:
Pulse was a very underrated weapon and pretty bad in the beginning so prices for it are now insanely cheap at the starting levels
- Starting Cost (50>25) Procedural Cost (20>50)
Shotgun:
Shotgun was supposed to be a weapon that acts similarly as the rifle and machine gun, so later levels will be cheaper
- Procedural Cost (40>25)
Hook
Hook will get a semi-overhaul, it was too good at collecting coins and made players quickly rich, unbalancing the economy when reaching a high hook level.
- Max hooks that can be spawned on level 12 hook (12 > 4)
- Hook Damage (0.4 + hook level * 0.05 > 0.8 + hook level * 0.1)
- Hook Damage Cooldown (0.083s > 0.166s)
- Starting Cost (125>100) Procedural Cost (65>30)
- Fixed Hook EXP gain, I'll change how weapons gain EXP in a future update
Dash
Nobody used dash, so I made it more accessible
- Starting Cost (75>50)
Timestop
Timestop can be exploited in various ways and while I like seeing players use various strategies, it can be too good on higher levels
- Procedural Cost (70>80)
Quad Damage
- Procedural Cost (50>70)
Repair Kit
- Procedural Cost (20>15)
Orange Asteroids
- Orange Asteroids can only shoot the player if the player is nearby
Linux
- I've made some efforts to fix the linux port, let me know how it works for you (massive thanks to steventrouble, SaltyStan, Onymous, DungeonLord87, pixelpaintbush and others!)
- Texture glitches may no longer occur anymore, but further testing of this is required.
Other
I was going to get the 1.1.7 update focused on the planet collection and planet crafting, but recently a lot of people using linux distros reported many bugs regarding the linux version so 1.1.7 is just going to be a linux fix and all of the planet stuff will be for later
If you noticed a decrease in speed of development, that is because I'm focusing a bit on myself in the recent times but the game is still being worked on! Thanks for playing ❤️
