Asteroids ++ News

[h3]Release ++ 1.0.1[/h3]

Features/Changes:

• Planet Map screen now has correct asteroids graphics
  
• On standard difficulty now you lose 2 items instead of 3
  
• On expert difficulty now you lose 4 items instead of 6
  
• On realistic difficulty now you lose 6 items instead of 10
  
• Magnet will now globally attract coins on infinite distance, but this is a much weaker secondary magnet (but will improve for each level). This does not work for recruitments and UFOs still have the highest magnet priority
  
• You can now disable credits conversion and carry money as an option (Thanks yanuxu)
  
• Grade HUD will fade out to clear out the screen
  
• The Ability HUD no longer has 100% opacity
  
• If cheats are enabled, you can spawn enemies from the menu using numbers (1-7)
  

Fixes:

• Fixed coins having infinite lifetime on screen (however I increased the original coin lifetime from 10s to 20s)
  
• Fixed recruitment magnet not working (I also buffed the recruitment magnet by 2 times)
  
• Probably fixed a crash where UFOs could spawn but not sure, needs more testing
  

Known issues

• Clone doesn't work properly
  
• Skill tree descriptions changed for abilities and utilities
  
• You can't hear UFO shoot sounds
  

[h3]Release 1.0.0a[/h3]
Fixed:

• Fixed crash when trying to load a non-existent save file (Thank you plamagd and Munkleplays)
  
• Dropped items now have working animations
  
• Removed irrelevant things from the asteroids store
  

Known issues

• Skill tree descriptions for the abilities and utilities are wrong, will fix
  
• Clone doesn't work properly
  
• There are possible crashes with the UFO spawning

[h2]Hola![/h2]
I am extremely excited to announce that Asteroids ++, my next upcoming game is coming up on July 2024. Be sure to wishlist the game to be the very first players to try the game out!



Humanity has expanded their technology and improved in Rocketry. There was nothing out of the ordinary until disaster struck!

A moon one light year away exploded and has spread asteroids all over our solar system, this is where YOU come in!

You play as one of the captains who will control one of the spaceships! Go from planet to planet and get rid of the Asteroids!



[h3]Asteroids ++ is the best Asteroids clone you will ever play in your life.[/h3]

• The game currently has 12 weapons, 6 abilities and 6 utilities, each will a skill tree that the player can use to their advantage to beat those pesky asteroids!
  
• Conquer and beat sectors to gain control and save planets in your solar system!
  
• The game currently has two campaigns, Main Game and Pluto where players can save various planets and gather trophies! More will be added throughout updates!
  
• The game has steam achievements that the player can try and get by beating planets in campaigns
  
• The game has statistics that track the player, as well as leaderboards of how much money players have
  
• The game has an economy with droppable items with their own rarities and value
  
• The game has... lore??

[h2]What is coming?[/h2]
During the livespan of the game I expect to add more content and features, such as:

• Customizable Weapons (Adjust your weapon to your liking, more money spent = more powerful weapon)
  
• Endless Run (Compete in a leaderboard with other people)
  
• Campaign Editor (Make your own levels, planets and scenarios!)
  
• Steam Workshop Support
  
• Controller Support
  
• Local Co-OP (And maybe online multiplayer)

Keep in mind, this is a game that is free to play! So there will be upcoming DLCs (mainly OST) that support me to continue making this game.

PLEASE WISHLIST THE GAME HERE WHEN IT COMES OUT!

Thank you for your support!
