Carnage in Space: Ignition

Online functionality going away soon


Hey, players! Big changes to come!

As you may have noticed, Ignition has some online integration that allows you to (optionally) register on my website to store your save file online and access it anywhere. You may not have noticed that it also submits your highscores (whether you’re logged in or not) to carnageinspace.com for public viewing too.

Well, that’s going to change soon!

These features were designed way back when Ignition was going to be primarily a browser-based game, so it made sense to add a login so you could access your saves from any computer. But then the browser-based architecture didn’t pan out and the game turned into a desktop app (using the handy NW.js webapp wrapper) on Steam & GameJolt, and that online functionality started making less sense.

Anyway, I have been hard at work redesigning the way save data works so that you won’t need to log in; your progress will be saved on your own computer and synced automatically via Steam cloud (for Steam users) or manually via Dropbox/what-have-you (for GameJolt users).

Don’t worry; long-time users (registered and unregistered) aren’t getting screwed over. You’ll still be able to log into your old account to download your old save files and then keep playing them offline like nothing ever happened.

Until this happens (hopefully this month), feel free to keep playing with or without an online account. I’ll be testing this update thoroughly to ensure nothing is lost in transition.

Thanks for playing!

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.

READY YOUR WISHLISTS!

BOOM.

This is Crimson's final attack, Entropy Bomb.

This is what happens when Crimson runs out of patience and is done playing with you.

I'd wish you good luck, but I don't think that's going to help.

IT'S HAPPENING.

The sequel to Ignition, Carnage in Space: Crucible, is releasing (in Early Access) on GameJolt and Steam on 6/9/23!

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!)

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.

Oodles of options!

Accessibility aids aplenty!

I added some more settings lately to toggle distorted graphics, fine-tune the audio mixing, and other stuff. Hopefully this should make the game accessible to more kinds of players.

There's more!

Crimson doesn't know the meaning of overkill! Just how many attacks does he have at his disposal?

I'll give you a hint: More than this.

We haven't even seen his specials in play yet...
