The REAL* End (v0.10.0)


Here it is, folks. The FINAL content update. The Level Select screen is finally all filled in!

Boss Rush

You’ve proven you have what it takes to face each of Ignition’s varied bosses individually – now how about all in a row? Can you stay alive long enough to reach the end, and irrefutably prove yourself the greatest warrior in the galaxy?

Either way, it will be entertaining to watch.

Gun Hitflashes

Remember when I added hitflashes to melee weapons? Weren’t they such a satisfying addition?

No? Well, whatever. Now guns have them too.

Don’t think that’s exciting enough? Then try shooting the Gunship in LVL8 with your beam cannon. OR… look at the screenshot below.

Fixes

Lots of stuff got polished up this update in anticipation of the impending 1.0 release. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • New SFX that plays when you buy and equip gear in the Armory.

  • At long last, a new big explosion sprite. At long last, every sprite in the game has been updated to fit the game’s style.
    *Fixed using the mouse to select things in the Armory

  • So much more – see below!

Well, that’s it for now. The next update, barring minor bugfix updates, will be the final release. The big one point oh. The golden master.

Big thanks to all of you beta players for sticking with me! Hope to see you again on the other side of the upcoming release!

Until then,
HUZZAH!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Presented without comment.

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!)
