Anomalies has been updated one last time before I continue on my other Greenlit game Star Explorers.
This "final" update includes the following:
Updated Randomize
- The Old Randomize Function was Limited - it tended to sort between just a few basic anomaly types
- The New Randomize Function takes slightly longer to run, but it generats a much wider variation of anomalies ... try it out!
More Particle Options
- More Particle Types - 10 in all
- Particle Size
- Particle Shrinking or Growing
- Particle Color
Flower Options
- 1 New Flower Type
- Flower Rotation - with Wiggle Active (previously flowers only rotated when Wiggle was set to 0
- Flower Particles - if flowers are active, particles will now spawn on flowers, adding rotation to the particle movement
- Flower Symmetry with Orbit - activating flowers along with symmetry and orbit caused problems before, now they will all work together
German Update
- The German version of Anomalies will be up to date as well
Enjoy the new updates! I do have a bunch of other ideas that I'd like to implement eventually. New improved segment types and textures, the ability to export both 3D models of anomalies and MIDI files of the songs they produce, and other tweaks and changes are all ideas I am considering, but they fall somewhat outside the original idea of a simple generative art game.
However, as I mentioned, I have a whole other game I need to get finished, and I can't work on both at the same time effectively. I will be updating Star Explorers and trying to get it ready for an Early Access release next month. However, I might take longer than that, depending on other factors ... we'll see.
Anyway, it's been a pleasure working on this first released game of mine. If you do like it, and I hope you do, please consider voting for it on the Steam Awards and tell your friends to try it out too. Keep sharing screenshots, I love to see the stuff you guys come up with! Also, make sure you try the new randomize function, it works much better now.
As always, let me know if you have any problems or issues running the game.
Thanks!
