New Update Out, But Not Without Its Flaws


This update fixed a lot of bugs and added many new features. Here are just a few changes:

  • THERE ARE NOW VOLUME SLIDERS FOR MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS

  • New ship added (Check Twitter for a promo code to unlock this - every ship in the game will always be free, but this is to thank my Twitter followers)

  • A field for entering promo codes was added (Again, microtransactions are against my philosophy and will never be added and all ships will forever remain free)

  • Locked ships now include a “Locked” icon to indicate that they still need to be unlocked

  • The ship screen is now easier for me to add ships to - it is automatic. It is also now part of a scroll field, meaning it will scroll when new ships are added

  • Unlockables are available for all ships (instead of select ships, as before)

  • Resolution changes were implemented (but are still being worked on - in the next update being pushed out asap, a known bug will be fixed)

  • Ship stats were adjusted to be slightly more powerful

  • Unlocked levels will be the only displayed levels in the menu

  • The lives meter does not display correctly on some resolutions. This is already fixed completely and will be pushed out asap.

  • The animations for some ships may be broken

  • The menu may lock up in some cases

  • Obviously I’m fixing the bugs (Have fixed #1 and #3 at the time of writing this)

  • Fixing resolution issues (things will display better)

  • Small changes to ship stats are bound to happen, especially with the new ship

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
