Pulling the Plug (v2.0.0)

Game

Carnage in Space: Ignition

7 years ago

As mentioned earlier, all of the game’s online functionality is now gone or deprecated in favor of saving to your own machine. But don’t worry, your old save data hasn’t gone anywhere!

Here’s what that means for you:

When you first load the game, your last-played save file (if any) will automatically be loaded into the first save slot (of 5).
If you have other online save files, you can press “Import Online Save” to log in to download them to your computer.
Your save data will not be automatically synced
Your highscores will no longer be uploaded to carnageinspace.com (and the highscores option on the title screen has been removed).

The online service will continue to be available for the forseeable future, so your old online save data will not be lost.

Note: If you’d like to sync your game data on the GameJolt version, you can use your favorite file-syncing service to sync this folder (on Windows):
C:\Users[Your username]\Saved Games\Carnage in Space Ignition

Full changelog:

== Major ==
[SYSTEM] Using local files and Steam Cloud instead of online save files

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.

HEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who don't know him, this is Crimson. Nightmare's darker side. The most powerful being in the setting.

If you want to fight him, you're going to have a very, very bad time.

@JohnBrink5

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.

@JohnBrink11

In case you missed it - SEQUEL BETA TESTING!

Carnage in Space: Crucible is coming Soon*!

@JohnBrink6

READY YOUR WISHLISTS!

@JohnBrink3

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!)

@JohnBrink8

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.
