Ropes... Ropes are cool...
Rope
The idea for a rope to connect between the player's ship and a crate was an old idea that was never really implemented because I was working on other, more important features.
But for this upcoming mega-update, I worked on this feature and as of now it is available on the [testing] branch of Galactic Lander. To see this feature for yourself, simply fly to a crate as usual, and press X to pick up the crate. You should see a rope forming between your ship and the crate.
If you would like to continue playing Galactic Lander without this expiremental rope feature, simply open the game console by pressing the tilde '`' key and type 'rope_enable false' without the quotation marks.
I need your help!
When I playtested this feature myself, I wasn't sure whether or not it is actually a good idea. Therefore, in order to make the correct decision on whether to keep or scrap this new feature, I want to hear your feedback!
Players, if you happen to play on a level that has a crate in it, please give me feedback if you think the rope feature is a good idea, or is the old way better? (meaning the crate teleporting and sticking to the bottom of the ship)
Making your feedback is simple! There are a couple of options for you to give your feedback.
- You can submit your feedback on the official Galactic Lander website
- You can create a forum post
- Or you can simply leave a reply to this announcement!
Thanks, and as always I am looking forward to hearing from you!
