Devlog - 8th November - Early Access Status & Misc
Added 2024-11-07 07:54:37 +0000 UTCHi,
Early Access Phase 1 for 1.50 is running quite well.
There were a handful of dialogue and pony racing issues which are already fixed in Update 1.50_09.
While waiting for feedback on 1.50 I experimented a bit with the new python/pygame version I plan to switch to by end of the month when I update my Renpy Version and migrate the SJX code.
I've always wanted a bit more flashy explosions in the combat game so I tried some simple particle system and it works quite well. You can have a peek at it in the following short screencap / video:
Let me know what you think. Really looking forward to upgrade my SDK :)
The Krell will explode green ,Vorons blue, Swarm purple and the rest normally :)

Yes, any kind of sound effect explosion would be artistic Liberty because that is inaudible in space. As per explosions, I think those work well enough in space, just think about a supernova which explodes a ton of stuff out into the universe

2024-11-07 12:14:14 +0000 UTCMaybe some polygonal kind of center shape that quickly shows. In any case, below the explosion there will be the normal wreck / loot icon, which also adds a bit more substance. I'm glad the animation as such was comparatively easy to pull of :)

2024-11-07 11:56:16 +0000 UTCIts a very fireworks like explosion . I would say it needs abit of something reminding of a flash, maybe some quick lines going away from the origin point.

2024-11-07 11:46:27 +0000 UTCThe color can be set freely in the code, so I will probably adjust them to type of craft destroyed...
