Hello Commanders!
A quick update on where we are and why the last beta is not up already.
Reason number one, we are adding controller support.
Witch is amazing, I know, hehe. But this is more easy said than done, is quite time-consuming since the game was not really intended to be played with controller, but we like the challenge.
But it's true that is taking quite longer than we thought.
And, since we want your feedback on how the game feels with the controller before the release, we need to wait for this feature before the new beta is out.
Another issue is our current GUI, the upgrade and sell nodes, were too small. And the GUI of the Mechs Jetpacks and Panacea Drones was not clear enough. But after implementing the Controller, such issues became impossible to ignore further.
So we are implementing a new Radial GUI for fast access for both controller and mouse.
The Armory Menu barely works on the keyboard, never like that grid to be honest. But with controller wast pretty bad, so we create a new GUI for the Armory menu + (New Ability):
But this needs to be changed in every single level by hand, and the game has over 60 levels in total. This happens a lot in this game because. This is one of the main reasons why takes a long time to upgrade or change something in-game.
This is because the game was created in unity 5.6 and at that time the prefabs were pretty basic and I was a noob at coding!
I think and hope, that we will finish these 2 features in less than 15 days. And with that, we will publish a beta for you guys to check out.
The Final tech tree won't be in that release. That is for the 1.0! :D
Thank you all for your patience, the game is getting better than ever with many annoying bugs fixed, a more responsive GUI, and changes in the quality of life in-game. I'm very excited to show you guys the work so far, I will keep you posted where on any development!
