Hey guys! Me again. Bet you weren't expecting another Ignition update, were you? But I am indeed working on one.
This update is all about fixing annoying things. If there is anything annoying you want fixed, please leave a comment to tell me!

IT'S HAPPENING.

Chapter 6 (K) is DONE! Kodon's story is nearly at a close.
A lot of work has gone into the game in since my last post, but we're deep into SPOILER territory, so all you get is a single out-of-context screenshot.
I'm not sorry.
(So close to release! AAAH!)
Behold, your reward for beating boss rush - this sick-as-heck 3D cutscene I threw together over the weekend!
Yeah, I know the game is mostly 2D, but I really felt like going way over the top with this game mode. I hope it paid off. 
READY YOUR WISHLISTS!
I've been retouching several things in the game that could use a little more love before release.
Among these is the nanotech system! You now get a flashy popup (with confetti and everything) when you unlock one, and the icons are also resigned.
The poll is over, and Tuhrahkkkii is the winner!
With that, Crucible phase 2 has begun.
For more Carnage in Space news, I highly recommend you take a look over on the sequel's devlog:
I updated the character select screen again!
I ditched the blurred overlay background for a stylish color-changing gradient, and added a spotlight to justify the players' shadows.
I also combined player & difficulty onto 1 screen for efficiency.
I got a little creative block working on the lake level, so I skipped ahead for a bit.
This is the Boss Rush arena event! You fight many/all bosses back-to-back here.
I decided to go crazy with 3D effects here, since it happens in a virtual reality room.
Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.
These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.
Chapter 4 (K) is DONE! And about time too - that's my longest level to date.
With that, Phase 3 (of 3) Milestone 2 (of 4) is now done! The end of this 7+ year project is finally nearing completion, and I can't wait to share it with you all.
