Wrapping up, plus a bonus


Just in case anyone’s been wondering, this page has not been forgotten! I’ve been working on cleaning up some of the game’s remaining rough edges in preparation for the final release. But that’s not all!

You’ll eventually see these in promotional materials, but here are a pair of portraits I’ve drawn over the past few weeks!

So here are the game’s most recognizable characters in all their High Definition (NOT!) glory - Nightmare and Tuhrahkkkii!

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.

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.

Chapter 4 (K) is DONE! And about time too - that's my longest level to date.

With that, Phase 3 (of 3) Milestone 2 (of 4) is now done! The end of this 7+ year project is finally nearing completion, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Oodles of options!

Accessibility aids aplenty!

I added some more settings lately to toggle distorted graphics, fine-tune the audio mixing, and other stuff. Hopefully this should make the game accessible to more kinds of players.

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...

Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.

These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.

The poll is over, and Tuhrahkkkii is the winner!

With that, Crucible phase 2 has begun.

For more Carnage in Space news, I highly recommend you take a look over on the sequel's devlog:

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!)

IT'S HAPPENING.

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

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.
