Update 2 -the new stuff update

I have been messing with other game proto stuff, but decided to take the weekend to cook this up. I hope you like it.

Shipyard

Steam post image

• Now you can buy ships with space skrilla earned at the end of each run

• Some ships are still exclusively found in-game

Signal Scanner

• See objects outside of the camera's view

• Makes dealing with fast-enroaching enemies a little more forgiving

• Shows nearby collectibles and allies

• Helps to level playing field between different monitor sizes and resolutions

New Ships

• New Ship: Swordfisher - has a railcannon and twin machineguns

  

• New Ship: Tailer - has a swarm pod and twin machineguns

  

New Enemy

• Can be found guarding the center of each sector...

Fixes, Tweaks and Minor Things

• If the magnitude of your ship's velocity vector is exactly 1.5x or greater than a colliding enemy ship that would deal contact damage, you will now destroy it without taking damage

• Better explosion effects - more firework like true to classic arcade games

• Created new collision matrices for turret targeting sensors - large battles with turreted ships should be slightly more performant

• Added indicator of how many ships are unlocked/locked on the main menu

• Buffed stats on some ships that felt lacking compared to the new ones

• Made probes drop ship upgrade pickups

• Reduced energy cost of all constructions

• Made huge asteroid much rarer (got sick of looking at crusty ass sprite)

• Reduced color intensity of certain UI elements that were distracting during gameplay

give a man a spaceship, learn him how to fly
