addedTutorial video:You can now access to a tutorial video from the main menu! Clicking the tutorial video will take you to a Youtube video where I explain all of the game mechanics! This will for sure help you take down Larebor's enemies!
addedThe Buccaneer:The Buccaneer now has a new texture on the model that adds details to the plane, in the shape of panels and bits and bobs. This new texture has been hand-drawn and is a proof of concept of more things to come. The way it's made, it allows different planes to use it, and also allows for custom skins while retaining the details of the surface!
addedThe Blowgun:The Blowguns has been using the plane placeholder model for too long! The new model comes with new improved handling and a brand new cockpit (only used once or twice for training rookie pilots, I think). The profile of the plane has changed a lot and needs to be battle tested by our heros from the sky!
changedBullet trails:Bullet trails where spawning a little bit behind the model visually (they spawned in the shooting point, without speed, so they where left behind). Our Airship's Land Crews have remade the compound that caused the trail so now it looks better!
addedInternationalization:The game is now playable in Spanish! If you want to change the language, go to the options menu and choose the language you want from the dropdown list. More languages will be added during the development.
removedControl improvements:All the control system has been reworked and now the player has always control. Now you can press ESC everywhere, and it will take you back to the main menu, even when you are dead or when you are choosing team/aircraft. Loosing your cockpit/plane will no longer block you from looking around and the overall feeling of the controls has been improved!

Visual changes:

The Buccaneer:

The Buccaneer now has a new texture on the model that adds details to the plane, in the shape of panels and bits and bobs. This new texture has been hand-drawn and is a proof of concept of more things to come. The way it's made, it allows different planes to use it, and also allows for custom skins while retaining the details of the surface!

The Blowgun:

The Blowguns has been using the plane placeholder model for too long! The new model comes with new improved handling and a brand new cockpit (only used once or twice for training rookie pilots, I think). The profile of the plane has changed a lot and needs to be battle tested by our heros from the sky!

Bullet trails:

Bullet trails where spawning a little bit behind the model visually (they spawned in the shooting point, without speed, so they where left behind). Our Airship's Land Crews have remade the compound that caused the trail so now it looks better!

Internationalization:

The game is now playable in Spanish! If you want to change the language, go to the options menu and choose the language you want from the dropdown list. More languages will be added during the development.

Control improvements:

All the control system has been reworked and now the player has always control. Now you can press ESC everywhere, and it will take you back to the main menu, even when you are dead or when you are choosing team/aircraft. Loosing your cockpit/plane will no longer block you from looking around and the overall feeling of the controls has been improved!

Balance changes:

Changed the fire rates and damages for all the planes. Planes now shoot less bullets per seconds, increasing firing time, as ammo capacity has remained unchanged. Per bullet damage has been increased so Time-To-Kill should remain consistent.

AI is now a bit smarter and can avoid more collisions with other planes.

Behind the scenes changes:

I'm working to bring the multiplayer back into the demo, and include a tutorial level ingame, but for that, I need to rework some systems and clean a lot of code. I'm progressing a lot and things start to look better for the MP and tutorial level, but I still have a lot of work to do!

Happy hunting and enjoy the demo!
