Flight of the Athena release date, new Early Access version
The full release out of Early Access for Flight of the Athena now has a date - October 26th, 2021. The major remaining components to go in are the final Act and the final boss, but both are progressing nicely. The remaining dev time before launch will go to fixes and extra enemy waves / key events, time permitting.
A new version has been released to Early Access, version 0.7. These changes were going to be held for the next major release, but the boss and texture page updates are both good updates, so it seemed good to get them live:
Flight of the Athena V0.7 changelog:
-Boss, smoking fractures - Smoking fractures will open up on the bosses as they move through the damage phases. A useful visual indicator and effect, a heavily damaged boss is also at its most dangerous!
-Textures, prefetch - Texture prefetching has been setup, which should reduce if not eliminate in battle stutters whilst loading
-Game setup warnings - Additional warning flags have been added to the hardest game setup selectors (Brutal difficulty, Rogue game mode).
