Massive update! Mission V is now available!

Posted by Phoebii on Dec. 15, 2016, 8:49 a.m.

I made a mission composed out of 8 smaller missions with a gigantic boss in the end!

The best part is that the boss changes slightly based on the order you do sub-missions.

Well, it depends on which sub-mission is the last, but I'm still pretty proud of that.

Also, you can choose to destroy or spare the boss. With all the variables, you can complete this mission 16 times and every time it will be slightly different.

Of course, this mission will haunt me for the rest of development. Now I will have to deal with 16 different branches of the game =P

The Boss

Mission V is longest story mission so far and the first mission that is composed of smaller missions.

It features many reveals, decision making, and a tough boss fight!

With the new missions comes few important changes.

The first change is updated enemy grouping system.

Now enemies can often be encountered in groups, composed out of 2 or 3 random enemies. This creates many interesting combat situations.

Second change is the new inventory management options.

I have added two buttons to make inventory management easier.

One button dismantles all items of the same grade, for example, all generic parts and the other moves all parts from the building field to inventory.

Finally, I have added beacons back to the game.

Beacons are the special enemies that instead of fighting the player, repairs other damaged enemies.

Beacons were removed during combat overhaul.

Minor changes and fixes:

  • Fixed equipped part upgrading.
  • Fixed maximum inventory crash.
  • Fixed minor graphical glitch.
  • Piercing Lasers ability no longer deals damage to enemies outside of the screen.
  • Fixed region glitch, now region missions are generated and saved correctly.
  • Heavy no longer reflects seeking missiles.
  • The Core can now be entered only during mission IV.
  • Now you can only do resurrection missions if you obtain the Resurrection Key during mission V.
  • Starter alloy container is now indestructible.
  • Armoured colony seeker now has more armour.
  • Lurkers have been renamed to demolishers.
  • Tutorial now explains how to detonate mines with carrier class spaceship.
  • Acolytes now have an additional attack.

Have fun!
