Early Access version 119

Shoot the core doesn’t affect the time at all. Barriers are not a requirement for finishing the wave. Multi and exponent are jokes with coolants. Alien mothership is quick if you ignore the stuff that it drops. Dr. Beaker might cause the difference, but eh… Other bosses are quick.

Well… the barriers are quite troublesome on high diffs.

Two phaseout and the boss takes less than a minute to finish. Not even 20 seconds.

Two phaseouts give 1m penalty.

So, in missions with Massive modifiers in action, there’s no visuals on the borders. I was thinking that there should be a blur visual on the borders, to indicate that its a Massive enviro (logic being that in a Massive enviro, gravity is stronger, making things more heavier/stressed). I know that some will notice the slower ship movement, but this is just for consistency’s sake, as all the other modifiers have their own visuals (Hot has flames, Frozen has frost, etc.).

When it comes to the stars, the Hot visual can take precedence, as I’m not certain that two modifier visuals can exist at once.

I still don’t see the point behind this, but… Added to v.120 :medal: Idea

Similarly to sorting by difficulty and by duration, in this mode missions are primarily being sorted by type, then by environment. I’m uncertain whether environment should come first, though…

These always go in the bottom effects layer, which can’t be changed (for cosmetic purposes).

I don’t we think we need another third effect to take place in massive environments. Just look at the sun, Flame HUD and the Corona and it’s a clear evidence we don’t need a third visual to it. Would be complicated.

Can you give us an updated version of this :sweat_smile:
would be appreciated.

It’s been only 3 days.

Yeah, 3 short days. Time flies quickly.

For those who don’t understand. You can configure both the mouse buttons and the keyboard buttons completely, or you can not configure them at all. Screenshots are given as an example.



Is it worth separating satellites into different buttons for a more comfortable game?

but what if i have major skill issue

Delete the game or start training.

In fact, you can set all 4 satellites to 1 button. To whom as it is convenient. I think it’s a good idea. There is some freedom of action. But a lot of people don’t like it. Also, we don’t like explosions from ICBN when we can leave them to other waves. Tolerate further pressing all satellites on 1 button. It’s so convenient when you have different satellites.

How are you gonna do that to an average player that has a normal mouse? What happens if that player doesn’t have a keyboard to use? And it would be significantly slower than a normal launch of all of them using 1 button

A small idea about the HUD again. When there are lots of task, should the HUD be also faded out when spacecraft approaches to the task? I think it’s not worth to fix.

This is his problems. Keyboard buttons (1 - 6) can be used. Stop pretending to be helpless. Now there are many places where you can buy such a mouse and not expensive. Personally, I don’t like the way satellites work now. Why are you afraid to try new ideas? This game is in early access and I don’t see anything wrong with introducing it on 1 update. Then of course you can remove it. There are other projects where buttons are implemented, why not enter it here. It would be more convenient. Moreover, there will be people who will also ask this.

I agree. It is better to try to darken the text of bonuses a lot when the ship approaches. It would be more convenient.

Mobile/touchscreen controls.
Perhaps you could get away with being able to assign satellites to two groups (and that’s a BIG “perhaps”), but there’s no way you’re going to fit another five buttons on the screen.

Ignoring the aspect of touchscreen controls, telling someone to just go and spend money on a gaming mouse so that they can play the funny chicken shooter game (or any singular game, for that matter) better is monumentally stupid.

Firstly, it was about the PC version. Secondly, I do not play on the mobile version, since it is much more convenient to play on the computer. Thirdly, I didn’t tell anyone to go buy a mouse. It was just a tip and to decide whether to buy or not is his problem.
