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!

Next up

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.

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.

There's something off about this room.

Almost as if we've entered a new dimension - a THIRD dimension.

Anyway, Construct 3 has had 3D features for a while and I decided to play with them a little. What do you think? Cool effect? Too jarring?

Sure has been a while since I posted something new, huh? Well, that's because I've been working on something big (that, and bugfixing).

Here's a little preview of that something!

Rejoice! The jankiest puzzle in the game has been re-done.

It's still a little fiddly, but now the boulder's less likely to do screwy things like get stuck on a platform, or teleport you to the side on touch.

IT'S HAPPENING.

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

Sweet victory.

Kodon's prologue level is DONE! That's milestone 1 of 4 for completing Phase 3 and reaching Crucible's final release.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.

More underwater friends :)
