Hey!
Welcome to another Devlog! We added ship's Tier 2 and Tier 3 versions of all current ship parts, new Ship Repair system, A bit info about jump gate Pass access system, added couple of new asteroids clusters along with their resource and finally changed the whole HUD of the game!
Player Ship
Tier system
As explained in Devlog #1, Ship builder will now allow you to craft parts using buildable item resources. And now with Tier 1 parts, you will have Tier 2 and Tier 3 parts which will be costlier than Tier 1 parts. With this update, you'll be able to craft Tier 1 and Tier 2 parts, but we're still working on economy and resources that justify crafting Tier 3 parts.
Your ship is made up of different parts, and each one has its own strengths, things like Armor, how well it holds up to leaks, and overall Hull point (Hp). Plus, these parts can actually contribute to your ship’s overall abilities, giving you advantages like extra Speed or life support pressure!
Repair Kits
We’ve heard your feedback about weapon and rocket parts breaking during mid combat, super frustrating. So we’ve added Repair Kits to the game! Now you’ll have 3 chances to fix things up mid-battle. upon use, this completely rebuilds your ship to its original shape. Repair kits automatically refill when you dock at any station (no cost), and also randomly dropped by defeating enemy ships. The little Droid will just patch up pressure leaks instead of full repairs.
World
In Leaks in Space, you’ll need an ‘Access Pass’ to travel through the Jumpgates and visit new sectors! These passes are linked to specific sector types, for example, C-Passes work for C class sectors. This helps us introduce you to the game gradually, unlocking more areas as you progress and explore.
With the upcoming update, you’ll be able to explore all three initial sectors. We’re still working on the B sectors and haven’t started with the A sectors yet.
Added new asteroid types such as Scrap Asteroids and Quartz Asteroids, which both drop scraps and quartz items respectively, that you can use to craft ship parts.
Removed Ice Asteroids and its item, as we realized ice isn't a good item for crafting ship parts. So, we decided to focus on asteroids that offer more helpful resources.
Added a special type of asteroid cluster, Syntorite Asteroid that aligns with the lore. It will be somewhat rare in C class sectors mostly used in crafting T2 items
There is a lot more to share, so keep an eye out for our Devlog #3 next Friday! We hope you will enjoy these additions and changes in the upcoming game update. There is, of course, a great deal of improvement still needed in the game.
And if you love what we are creating here, please leave your honest review on game's steam page and follow the game!
