Patch Notes

v0.95 - 'Operations'

⚠️ Some stats and achievements will be reset

Sorry about the stats reset! Was not an easy decision but I managed to limit it to stats related to the new operations system, all the upgrade unlocks and kill stats are intact.

Operations

  • There are currently 4 operations: some of which are unlocked at start and each with something special. I'm eager to hear your thoughts for making making new operations and/or tweak the current ones
  • Completing an operation will make it go up one tier (currently up to max 3): the idea is to increase the difficulty each tier and make all operations a viable choice regarding the score/challenge you can get from them
  • Leaderboard entries will show which operation was run and if completed (otherwise last wave number is displayed)

Main Changes & Tweaking

  • Replaced endless looping with operations system
  • Added Space Station enemy, first pass: destruction effects are not finished and its fight mechanics might be changed later
  • Frigates cannot jump if you destroy their engine
  • Wing Leaders got a bit more aggressive
  • Rogues can be killed with 1 normal/swarm missile: makes fighter class (triangle icon) more consistent
  • Bumped a little base scraps attraction force
  • GAU-30 damage tweaked
  • Armor cap restored at 250% (was 200%)
  • Fixed some inconsistencies with bullets raycasting
  • Vector: restored normal paint
  • Valkyrie: comes in black and can now "slide" on surfaces 👀

Achievements

  • Achievements page: merged stats into achievements
  • Added ‘Stronger Dog’ achievement
  • Added ‘Rabid Dog’ achievement
  • Added ‘Daily Dog’ achievement
  • Changed ‘Sky Dog’ achievement: now you have to successfully take an extra life from the Sky Tower
  • Changed ‘Elite Dog’ achievement: reach 1,000 total kills

What's Next?

  • Tweaking & balancing for the new operations system
  • Input system refactoring to support multiple devices and possibily a better input binding menu
  • First player experience: some kind of quick tutorial in the first operation

That's it! 🫡
