@Sammarald

Ship engine smoke spawns in the middle of the screen when the ship arrives in the final cutscene

Can’t replicate

was referring to this

@InterAction_studios

I don’t see a space (“…let’s turn up the heat!”)

There is indeed a space, but in another prompt.
When translating, I did not put a space in my translation, while English prompts should have been intact from the beginning.

[Tin]

Do you plan to bring the remaining waves from CI3U back to CIU?

[Knightcap]

Did you close BETA temporarily without any notification?
EDIT: I caused this problem at 10:08am (GMT+7) (6th November 2023)

[CattyCheese]

don’t tell me it’s windows update fault again

[HuyTheKiller]

If that’s the case, I’m afraid iA cannot reboot the server until he’s woken up :cipain:
By the way, I’ve implemented UTC time in Legendary Tracking Chart, which is iA’s timezone (without daylight saving). If you don’t want to search for it or convert your timezone to UTC manually, you can have a Google Sheets tab opening the Chart always on.

@Sammarald

chick square in wave 32, chickens at the end of wave 34,

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@Sammarald

chicks in wave 52, chicks in wave 54 (particularly noticeable), first ufo in wave 55, first pilot chicken

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@Sammarald

and crystals at the end of wave 57

Ugh. I’ve improved it, but I can’t fully fix this because there’s a wave transition very near and the crystals must disappear before the wave can advance.

@HuyTheKiller

Can you do the same thing for CI3?

Tried it, but it messes up the whole scene timing (the egg splat etc). So, no,

@HuyTheKiller

Eggships aren’t supposed to have their eggs appear from the center.

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@kokokokos

why even bother making them?

The stand-alone seasons will only include weapons present in the original episode, however they will still have their reworked CIU mechanics. And there will be other differences, too (e.g. unlockables, CI5 mission progress)

Besides, even if the seasons were identical to the CIU DLCs, there is still a business benefit to having them also available separately. As DLC, the episodes are simply never going to be as discoverable as stand-alone SKUs.

Having said this, I still haven’t made a final decision.

@gabytzu

like remove the predefined difficulty

120th Anniversary doesn’t use repeatable RNG, precisely to offer some variation between plays.

@Amiko

Should the text of the narrators be lower a bit like other episodes

I considered this, too, but I think no change is necessary.

@KnockoffFeline

There shouldn’t be an apostrophe in that word

Fixed in v.140.2

@Knightcap

So i got some problem when try to use keyboard for skipping/warping to some wave

I don’t really want to spend time fixing a debug feature, but I’ve exposed two more debug keys: < and > to skip to previous/next wave. What I normally do is warp to some nearby wave using 0-9 and then fine-tune it with < > .

@Error_Bonnie

Popping purple balloons but creates a green glow

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@KnockoffFeline

In CI3U, in the cutscene where the player is lost, it won’t fully go off-screen, exposing the exhaust. Tested this with a BX-7.

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@OneWingLunarian

I hope this means that Vulcan will start dropping on Cygnus Galactic Arm

Sorry, I meant one chapter later.

@gabytzu

then third time lucky it’s hard to acive alt the possible Pecking Order bonus I mean it should start from the firs chick, like in the reworked wave on CIU

Given the way the enemies progressively appear in CI3 (rather than all at once in CIU), changing the Packing Order is not possible.

@OrvilleTheOrca

Wave 66 “High-speed chase” in CI5U, I saw the UFO Chick flipped slightly and rotated vertically a few times when I killed eggshells

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@Knightcap

Can you check that how many times did i fight “The Yolk Star” boss in a same mission (Mission CI3U)?

I don’t have this information.

@ans1382

Shouldn’t the space be like this in the Halloween version

CI3 didn’t have a Halloween version. Also, if I do it for CI3, I’ll also have to do it for CI2/45. But I’ll look into it.

@VerMishelb

The CI3U coin poll

Changed in v.140.2 Idea

@Sammarald

Ship engine smoke spawns in the middle of the screen when the ship arrives in the final cutscene

@Sammarald

Should health stage progression for Blast from the Past and It Gets Cold In Space be non linear in regular CIU missions

Change applied to CIU.

@HuyTheKiller

There is indeed a space, but in another prompt

Thanks. I’ve now search-replaced all occurrences of ellipses followed by space.

@Knightcap

Did you close BETA temporarily without any notification?

Server crashed. It’s up again now.

[2sN]

hey iA our idea/bug is broken.

git the earn from duplicate medal.

[Flame_Spacecraft]

Yolk star has 4 Lazers and 6 bases in the original CI3 game.
The bases are.
1st 0% to 20% health
2nd 20% to 40% health
3rd 40% t0 60% health
4th 60%to 80% health
5th 80% to 100% health
6th (the yolk) 75% to 100% health

[InterAction_studios]

BETA v.140.2 is now available.

[2sN]

why this first wave in charity firepower item early in ci3U.

or “Were Surrounded” Wave so wide in circles can you wide more than bigger.

Can you faithful destroy asteroid in CI3U with smoke particles.

Modern in Chicken Invaders 3 (Basically from CIU)

Classic in Chicken Invaders 3

then also of Treasure Shower and Comet Chase.

[Sammarald]

It’s still possible to kill balloon chickens without hearing the deflate sound if they get killed in one shot while still having balloons

by the way, what’s the weapon unlocking order for CI3U? is it the same as CI4U? it feels like the CI4+ weapons dont drop until later on

[2sN]

@InterAction_studios

Added in v.140.2 Idea

i hope guess about from CI3/CI4/CI5 text animation

must added on this mission config of text animation in CIU.

350 in text animation of galactic store and allowed Aftermarket Station.

meanwhile from before early access 74 can you CIU in text animation that is so nice.

or

The cutscenes won’t to thanksgiving background in ci4u!

[Sammarald]

There’s another case of ship engine smoke being visible in the middle of the screen on the cutscene after wave 30

Are comets the same size as they were in CI3? I think they might need to be slightly larger due to the play field resolution change

[ans1382]

They are not alike!
These inconsistencies arise when seasonal content is active
(It happens on Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving. No problem at Christmas.)
@InterAction_studios

[Sammarald]

this cutscene still uses the CIU asteroid sprite

riddler and possibly some other ship/weapon combinations still reach the chickens on classic invasion waves

the second trigonometry wave seems to be the same as the first one (3 groups of enemies at once instead of 5)

[Super_Nova_9000]

they aren’t same because the cutscene one uses ordinary chicken (i think)

is this me or that the chicken body in the cutscene uses older CI3 Chicken?

[Super_Nova_9000]

the space background you equip doesn’t affect the galaxy

[Sammarald]

since the UCO health values changed, its kinda weird that the first two It Gets Cold In Space enounters have slightly more health than the next bosses after them

@InterAction_studios

@Sammarald

Ship engine smoke spawns in the middle of the screen when the ship arrives in the final cutscene

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@InterAction_studios

@Sammarald

Comet Chase spawns more comets in general, for example the first wave has 25 comets instead of 20

Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

@InterAction_studios

@Sammarald

the first UCO has 200k health on SSH while it only had 20k on rookie in the original

Bug. Fixed in v.140.2 Bug

20K seems rather low, however… I’ve doubled it

also these 3 changes arent on the change log
