Hi there Pilots!
Another major update for Evolvation! Version 1.0.3 is here and includes lots of improvements! For instance, the community gave us feedback about that the controls could be hard to learn and asked for a tutorial. We are happy to announce that the requested tutorial is present within this version! The tutorial includes the basics of flying up to how to configure your own spaceship.
Furthermore, all the class abilities are now present! Each spaceship has a primary and a secondary class ability. The class abilities are:
Tank
Primary: A Powershield which decreases incoming damage.
Secondary: Dropping a mine which explodes when an enemy is near with a large explosion radius.
Support
Primary: Dropping a support package which contains primary and secondary ammo, health, energy, data, and flares. In the game mode Free for all the package will be directly assigned to itself.
Secondary: A “Support sphere”. If a teammate (and of course yourself) is within this sphere, they will be healed for a certain amount. However, if it is an enemy, they will receive some damage.
Stealth
Primary: Invisibility
Secondary: Dropping an electrical web. If an enemy flies through it, the energy will shut down for a couple of seconds which causes the spaceship to be uncontrollable.
Fighter
Primary: Damage bonus
Secondary: Normally, when locking an enemy, you will have to wait until the target is completely locked. With this ability you are able to fire three rockets to your enemy even though you only have started to lock your target.
Highspeed
Primary: A short power boost which enables the ship to make some special maneuvers
Secondary: A warp boost which will bring your spaceship to the end of the level in a matter of seconds.
Also, within this update, start-up times and issues are improved. However, if this causes problems for existing users they should delete the appdata of Evolvation which is stored at a windows computer at: %appdata%/../Local/EvolvationFinal
This folder should be completely deleted to prevent some start-up issues.
Of course a lot more is improved, added and fixed! Check out the game and let us know what you think!
Happy flying!:Spaceship_Ride:
