We just launched another update to the open playtest!
🚀 Ship Loadouts
🌌 New Environment Hazards
🎮 Near-Complete Gamepad Support
💥 Cruise Missile Rework
We're also nearing our demo build, so we posted our first devlog to cover the transition! Find it in the 🧵
#IndieDev
We have a few missile weapons already, so we gave the Cruise Missile this new high-arc path to make it feel unique. (And a lot cooler, tbh).
What do you think of the change? #WishlistWednesday
Think you've mastered our beta? Think again! 🚀
Today's update brings adaptive difficulty scaling (rewarding your success with... more enemies!), more punishing melee enemies, 30+ augment rebalances, and more!
Hop in and let us know what you think! 🔽 store.steampowered.com/news/app/335...
This effect is heavily inspired by the Itano Missile Circus! The missiles are shot in a random direction, then after a short delay, begin homing in on their target with a steadily increasing turning acceleration. If the original target is destroyed mid-flight, they’ll redirect to another enemy.
We challenged our testers to top the new in-game leaderboard to win a key, and they've already;
🚀 Beaten the top dev's score by 10x
☠️ Broken the final boss
💪 Found several unkillable builds
Safe to say this has been a success so far—challenge ends in three days! #IndieDev
