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!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're still at it!

Special number 2: Javelin Fusillade.

That's quite a lot of javelins. And a lot of explosions. I don't think this guy is ever going to calm down.

Wait, there's MORE???

...

Oh yeah, there's more. Once you annoy Crimson enough, he starts busting out the specials. This one, Flechette Storm, is just one of those screen-engulfing special moves you'll have to contend with!

But even that isn't the end...

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.

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.

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.

WE'VE GOT A RELEASE DATE, BABY!

It's been a LOOOONG time coming - this game's been in development for OVER 8 YEARS and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you all in just 24 days!

FINAL UPDATE: Kodon and More

Carnage in Space: Crucible is now out of Early Access!

In case you missed it - SEQUEL BETA TESTING!

Carnage in Space: Crucible is coming Soon*!

If you'd like to try it early and help me perfect it, read below to join the beta test and score a free copy!

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!)

Carnage in Space: Crucible is now out of Early Access!
