Galaxy Highways News

Hey everyone!

I've got some exciting news for our game, and I can't wait to share it with you all! Our game is currently taking part in the Steam SHMUP festival, and we've prepared a major update for our demo for this event. I'd like to go over the exciting new features we've introduced to our game, and I hope you'll enjoy them while playing our free demo. Here are the most important added features:

• We've added various settings for our game, including audio, graphics, gameplay, controls, and language settings.
  
• We've implemented input (keyboard/gamepad) rebinding so players can freely rebind controls to their liking!
  
• We currently support any Xbox or PS-type controllers in our game.
  
• All settings are saved and loaded when players run the game again.
  

• All weapons are now continually reloaded, and continual reload speed can be upgraded by buying or obtaining permanent upgrades in levels.
  
• The weapon assignment screen now displays all weapons, including primary weapon stats and descriptions.
  
• New upgrade/unlock weapon animations, including weapon tier display on the research screen.
  

• The hangar screen has received a complete makeover. Now, all your weapons, including primary, secondary, and special, are conveniently grouped together at the bottom of the screen.
  
• Ship information now includes both base and upgraded values for each attribute (except boost time limit and continual reload, which depend on boost or weapon, so we display "Per Boost" or "Per Weapon").
  
• Ship selection screen has a fresh new look. Now, you can easily view both base and upgraded stats for all available ships!
  

• In our game, you acquire upgrades for your ships by completing optional or mandatory objectives within levels. Now, you also have the option to purchase these upgrades using credits on this new screen.
  
• On the upgrades screen, you'll find all available upgrades (dock buildings). Each dock building has multiple tiers, and each tier enhances your ship's capabilities, such as HP, primary weapons, boost time limits, continual reload, and more.
  
• Upon purchasing a new upgrade, the corresponding building will appear in your docks, resulting in upgraded ships.
  

These are only the most important updates, and we've improved and polished our demo a lot with many other features.

We would love to hear your feedback, and we hope you'll enjoy playing our new demo!
