Final Orbit 2
6 years ago

So here's a list of all that's wrong in Final Orbit so far and how I'm trying to fix it:


1: Probably best to avoid the Windows version until I release version 0.1.1! The game crashes because of a silly error. I've fixed it in the next patch.

2: There's a weird floating square in the Windows version. Anyone playing a functioning version of the game would see those messages at the bottom of the screen, for example "You crashed into the Moon" or, as I like to call it, the Captain Obvious messaging system. I don't know why this translates to a ominous black floating square in the Windows version or how I'm going to fix it but my plan it- write that script from scratch using different methods and expect vastly different results.

3: The bloom shader cuts off the lower third of the screen. Why? Possibly due to the way I change the window size. How do I fix it? Maybe try using a different method of changing the window size or programming a new bloom shader?

4: The lighting engine, as of right now, completely poops itself. Firstly, it renders nothing but black, then it crashes entirely. Solution? New lighting engine? No lighting engine? I'll see what I can do. The lighting engine isn't exactly important.

I'm working on fixing the issues stated. I'll let you know how it goes!

It's all coming together! I'm ahead of schedule.

The options are functional and, you may have noticed, you are now able to log in using your Game Jolt username and game token.

The Windows version crashes... play the HTML5 version for now. I've programmed a fix for it, I'll release the patch soon!

I'm now trying to fix the weird floating box... it doesn't appear in the HTML5 version, only the Windows.

"All of it... amounts to this..."

We've been quiet but busy. Time for an update!

Slow day today! I added some tutorial elements. (I also worked on some failed shader stuff but we won't talk about that)

Here's my annoying bug-fixing story...

"There are trees here... but we're still in the building. I think I recognise these woods..."

Gearing up for early access! Also, sorry the game (and my account) keep vanishing. Allow me to explain...

Taking its time, but not forgotten...

I really must congratulate the first official player of Final Orbit 2 for their committal!
