The Final Destination: Version 2.8.1

There's a bit too much to write here, so I'll put in the article below.

However, the update itself:

Adds more lasers to boss 14

Fixes the giant laser in the final boss


~A (rather personal) Note from the Programmer~

I started this project a few years ago now, even before the engine I currently use (GameMaker Studio 2) came out. This is my first game, and, given that, I'm quite proud of it. I've learned a lot, and I'm surprised at how far it's come since it's first playable build.

Nonetheless it had it's problems. Most of them are behind-the-scenes. I'm not a computer science major, and I've never taken a class on programming. I have taught myself how to program throughout making this game with the help of the GameMaker forums and YouTube tutorials. That being said, the codebase this game is built on literally cannot support any more big features. The game is quite literally at capacity, and, as such, this is going to be the final update. If I find a bug I might fix it, but, as of now, there will be no more content added to the game.

Since I actually started this, I've received tonnes of support from my family and friends, and the team actually doubled in size (thanks for jumping on board, Niftty!). It's been a long, long time coming, but it's finally time to bring Ten Lightyears home. We'll still be here, though, and we'll try our best to keep making games, so stay on the lookout!

~Thank you~

Have a good Boi

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

What you all think

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Strange Umbrella

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?
