Rocky Mayhem News

[p]Hi all,[/p][p][/p][p]This update commences part 1 of the final expansion to Rocky Mayhem, Excavation. This update also involves Prestige Badges for some personalization to your player card, a tutorial revamp and more. [/p][p][/p][h2]Excavation[/h2][p]In Excavation, you can extract materials from asteroids to make money. Each asteroid has it's own pros and cons from the others, and you can choose which ones you'd like to mine, without paying a dime. Of course, there's no guarantee on what you'll get from it, with it being nothing or even a couple hundred dollars! And depending on the toughness of the asteroid, one may take longer to mine than the others. You'll also be able to spend hard-earned cash on buying a drillship to accelerate the excavation process by double, and unlocking this will be permanent for your account. [/p][p][/p][p]Currently part one allows you to excavate 2 different asteroids, basic and volcanic. Part two will feature more asteroid options, more chances to gain money from all excavations, and balances. I plan for Patch #20 to feature these, as well as to be the final major update for Rocky Mayhem. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Prestige Badges[/h3][p]Depending on your prestige level, you will now have a new fancy badge under your username on the player card, replacing the ugly "P1" that would sit next to your name. [/p][p][/p][h3]Limited Time Cosmetics (LTC)[/h3][p]In the customisation section at the bottom, there will now be a skin that changes every now and then. Each skin that shows up here will feature cosmetics never seen before, and will be removed from the game when the next one shows up. This isn't really anything major as I am aware the player base is non-existent, so this will be more of just a hobby for me as I love creating different combinations! Every-time a new skin is put in place of another, a small announcement will be made. These skins may or may not return permanently if I see a reason to do so. [/p][p][/p][h3]Tutorial[/h3][p]"How to Play" has received a visual change and a name change. While it'll still list all the details of each mode and what to do, you can now view all abilities and the details of what each one does with the icon displayed next to it. I hope this will make it clearer to new players on how to use the abilities effectively. Here's what it looks like now.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes[/h2][h3]New[/h3]

• [p]New Mode: Excavation[/p]
• [p]Time Trial #6 - With the lights still out, 3/5 crystals has regained it's ability to light up! Collect all 5 and reach the finish to receive a juicy reward.[/p]
• [p]Prestige Badges - Display your badge on your player card for your own satisfactory enjoyment![/p]

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• [p]Updated How to Play[/p]
• [p]Adjusted Repair Bar colour[/p]
• [p]Classic Normal: Repair Torches now spawn every 45s from 90s[/p]
• [p]Classic Mayhem: Repair Torches now spawn every 30s from 60s[/p]

[p]Hi all,[/p][p][/p][p]This update introduces a brand new prestige system. Every 100 levels, you can now choose to prestige. This will reset all in-game stats like your level, high score, balance, but it will not affect your achievement progress in any way. Don't wanna lose your level 500 just to prestige once? Not a worry! You can prestige multiple times in one click, 1 prestige for every 100 levels banked, 10 prestiges maximum. This will make getting the new achievements super handy if you're already level 500. [/p][p][/p][p]This update also includes; allowing you to use your cosmetics in Most Wanted, Time Trial #5, the end of the Halloween event, removal of Money Clicker, and balance changes![/p][p][/p][h3]Time Trial #5[/h3][p]Experience the craziest and most experimental time trial yet! You have 80 seconds to collect 5 crystals and reach the end, with the twist of it being pitch black! That's correct. You cannot see the crystals, your ship, or the watcher during green light. So use the red light time wisely, and calculate your next step. [/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes[/h2][h3]New[/h3]

[p]Hi all,[/p][p][/p][p]I feel like it's only right I make a post alerting you of what will be happening next update. So I will be removing some more achievements, but this is the final wave, and you have my word. When creating this game and implementing achievements, I made some that were simply too easy to get. Specifically, turning off your flashlight, pressing right click once. These provided no real challenge, thus making it feel like achievements were too easy to grab. [/p][p][/p][p]Therefore, 5 easy achievements have been removed and have been replaced with new ones, regarding the new update. This is the last adjustment I am making to the achievements before ceasing development on new content for Rocky Mayhem. While I may, in the future, add new content, achievements will remain unaffected unless I can add more without removing any. [/p][p][/p][p]So for any 100% achievement hunters, the game is on from next update. [/p]

[p]Hi all![/p][p][/p][p]To celebrate Halloween, you can now get 10x points in Classic for both Normal and Mayhem! Though be warned... your ship's surround lighting systems has been experiencing something a bit unnatural. You'll have to rely on your flashlight for this one.[/p][p][/p][p]You'll also be able to gain free entry into Reality Shift, as well as access the new time trial for Evasion. I have also done a small touch up on the reward system, and this update comes with the security patches for a recent breach in Unity which you can find more information about here.[/p][p][/p][p]This event will run until the 1st November!
