Hi everyone! The summer heat has slowed development a little, but 0.14 is finally ready! Here are the most significant updates:
- Survival/Co-op Mode: Play alone or with friends and survive against the clock with ever increasing difficulty. Highscore is tracked, try to beat your best time alone or as a group! Versus modes are accessible through Party on the main menu.
- Turrets: Security turrets/murderbots now spawn in all modes, they will repeatedly fire at the nearest player. Take them out before they take you out!
- Energy Shield: Energy bar now protects the player in the form of a visible energy shield. It will deflect lasers and shield players from damage but use up some energy on contact.
- Ship Stats: The energy capacity stat was giving an unfair advantage to Heavy class ships. Energy capacity/usage is now balanced for all ships and has been replaced by Hull Regeneration stat. Heavy ships have less hull regen and Light ships have more.
- Energy Packs are now blue instead of green to fit with the UI.
- Health packs now spawn occasionally and are green.
- Some new asteroid/debris pieces.
- The main menu has had some improvements and is much less messy now.
- Several mystery minor fixes and improvements that I have forgotten ;)
That's pretty much the jist of it! I hope you enjoy the new additions! You may have to restart your Steam client to receive the update.
Big thanks to everyone who bought the game so far, and to everyone who is keeping up with it or wishlisted etc, you're all awesome! ːsteamhappyː
