Hello all! Just wanted to post a quick update about the release of Void Miner Prologue.
Its the third day since release and over 1000 of you just on steam have gotten the demo! On top of that there have been over 2000 plays on itch, 1000 additions to user wishlists, coverage by about a dozen YouTubers so far, and an approval to host my game on Armor Games. I am so happy and thankful for everyone that has been a part of this. I am a solo developer and seeing my work result to something has been amazing. Thank you all so much!
Ive received an overwhelming amount of feedback in my discord. Everything from how much you guys enjoyed the game to new feature suggestions and of course bugs.
Every day ive worked hard to address each one of these and here are some changes since then
- Upgrade screen now snaps back to visible upgrades when scrolling away
- Input does not bubble up through pause menu when in upgrade scene and upgrade view does not scroll when user slides the music volume
- Increased scroll and drag responsiveness in upgrade scene
- Asteroids now have a speed boost when spawning in
- Upgrades have been moved around, mainly energy being the first upgrade players see
- Small tutorial text
- Space ship wraps around quicker after leaving screen
- Add sound settings
- Turn off collision with mothership
- Rename energy to fuel because energy is confusing.
- Sound clip on energy death was playing through sfx, fixed it
- Connection lines between upgrades now does not scale with screen size and just mOVES
- Pulsing effect to show upgrades are purchasable
- Wave counter to show there is an objective to reach
- Time to complete has been added
- Added resolution switcher in main menu options.
- The game still does not support ultrawide monitors but it now offers the users a way to snap back to 16:9 aspect ratios to make the game playable
- Added toggle auto fire button in game pause menu.
- Added toggle for movement style
