Steredenn News

Guess we're all wrong sometime?

We thought the last big patch would be the last, but alas, some bugs crippled the game performances during high-end loops.

We fixed most of the bugs — well, we hope —, and since we were at it, we added some nice little things as well. Better late than never.

However, I should mention that, to correct some of these bugs, we also had to re-balance the loops and some items.

This shall be the last. Thanks again!
Bye, wanderers.

• Add screenshake setting.
  
• The Red Baron starts the game with its own background (except if you let the full intro plays).
  

• Improve performances in loops.
  
• Improve performances of suicide bullets.
  
• Rework the Stasisgun , Stasisbot, and Rocket Circus animation (the weird blue gel). This should fix most of the bugs that you encountered while using these weapons. And bonus: it's prettier.

• Fix a bug with Bots' ghosts being generated almost endlessly in specific conditions.

• Improve Ultrabeam. Faster, larger, more predictable.
  
• Ancient Power doesn't trigger suicide bullets in loops.
  
• Tweak Battleship boss' first pattern.
  
• Reduce number of blockers in loop 3+.
  
• Reset the SUPERCHABAL and Asteroworm counters at the beginning of a loop.
  
• Spawn more events in loops.
  
• Improve the generation of suicide bullets.
  
• Improve the generation of blockers in loops.
  
• Rework enemies' bullets speed in loops.

Say hello to a new batch of bug fixes and other tweaks.

It's also time for us to say goodbye. 👋

This patch is probably the last big one. At this point, we think the game is in the shape we want, without big bugs remaining. There could always be more tweaks and changes to be done, but at a certain point, we have to stop. And we think that this patch is a good place to say it. 😉

It was a hell of a ride for us, and we want to thank you for playing Steredenn and Steredenn: Binary Stars! We never hoped to have a game this complete, polished and refined as it is now.
