addedHello GamersBut before happy news I need to apologize about issue with buying a new skins, I am working to fix the problem and implement a system to avoid next bugs like this. But it has deep connect to player save data that it harder to implement fix. For now I recommend you to change a player save data SkinsUnlocked variable to this: [true,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false] So it should looks like this: "SkinsUnlocked":[true,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false]
changedHello GamersLinux: ~/.config/unity3d/From Gamers/Captain Jackson/Player_Stats.json
changedHello GamersBut if you don't mind with problem you can just buy another skin XD.
addedHello GamersI've added an animation of enemies destoying. Now you can see how enemies ships are falling apart. Here is some screenshots in action. Enemy1 Steam post image Steam post image Steam post image Steam post image Steam post image Enemy2 Steam post image Steam post image Steam post image I want to added that animation to alll enemies in game and boss.
changedHello GamersNext thing that I want to share with you is improvement to orbs. More specialy to health and heart orb (white and red). Now it's only one orb. Red orb now will increase your hearts or heal you if you collect. Only in situation when when you have a 5 hearts red orb will be bonus increase to score. Moreover I've changed a red orb sprite. I think now it's looks better but just compere them for your self.
addedHello GamersOne feature that I am excited to show you is a new game mode. Flip mode. Just checkout screenshoots, you will notice how crazy it is. There are some changes that are hardly in progress and I can't show them for you now:

Hello Gamers

After a while I happy to announce that I am working on a biggest patch to Captain Jackson the world has ever seen.

But before happy news I need to apologize about issue with buying a new skins, I am working to fix the problem and implement a system to avoid next bugs like this.

*Any other changes to save data file is in user responsibility*

The save file is located in:

  • Windows: C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\From Gamers\Captain Jackson\Player_Stats.json

  • Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/From Gamers/Captain Jackson/Player_Stats.json

But if you don't mind with problem you can just buy another skin XD.

NOW ABOUT MEAT OF PATCH

The whole patch will focus on visual improvement to game due to your feedback. Some of it I will show you in screenshots some of them is still work in progress.

  1. I've added an animation of enemies destoying. Now you can see how enemies ships are falling apart. Here is some screenshots in action.

    I want to added that animation to alll enemies in game and boss.

  2. Next thing that I want to share with you is improvement to orbs. More specialy to health and heart orb (white and red). Now it's only one orb. Red orb now will increase your hearts or heal you if you collect. Only in situation when when you have a 5 hearts red orb will be bonus increase to score. Moreover I've changed a red orb sprite. I think now it's looks better but just compere them for your self.

  3. One feature that I am excited to show you is a new game mode. Flip mode. Just checkout screenshoots, you will notice how crazy it is.

    There are some changes that are hardly in progress and I can't show them for you now:

  4. New background with depth effect

  5. New skin - red smoker

  6. Better pause menu background

As you see there is tone of new things that will come to Captain Jackson. Do you ask me when? I am planning to push new patch in the end of next week or second next week, but I have some exams to pass and don't have enough time to spend on this project (god damn school). But I promise I will do my best to drop patch as soon as it's possible. If you have any interesting idea what could be in next patch let me know.

Thanks for all your support and feedback. Now let's kill some bad aliens!
