Update 2

Sorry for the long absence, things got really busy and a few days ago when I started working on the game again I got caught up in getting things done rather than updating this page.

Anyways, I have gotten a lot done. Here’s the changelog:

Pre-Alpha 1.1.0

• Added shield regeneration after wave completion

• Added a few special wave types (more to come!)

• Added separate options menu

• Added energy bar on HUD

• Added control guide in menu

• Added new menu animations

• Added shield icon bar on HUD

• Added engine sound

• Added game pause when pressing escape instead of immediately exiting

• Added warning when shields are down

• Added miscellaneous new sounds

• Added a fighter configuration menu

• Added energy and shield pickups, which can be found in asteroids or at level start

• Added “energy overcharging”, where it is possible to get over your max energy using pickups

• Added new enemy type: Lizard

• Changed the way boosts work (now velocity change is instantaneous, all boosts for all classes are the same speeds but each has a cool down of one second)

• Changed room size parameters (no more massive rooms)

• Changed the player ship model while in first person

• Changed the minimum wave count for some enemies to start appearing

• Fixed crashing/freezing bug

Screenshots

So lots of new things and finally a fix to the annoying freezing bug. Here are some screenshots showing off the new things:
