Hey everyone ! It has been a month since the last update. Here are all the changes done during the winter break:

New systems:

Obstacles:

Now, there are some asteroids that can spawn around the player so the map looks less empty. Some are destructible and will drop some scraps.

Below is an image of indestructible obstacle:

Level Max Module (WIP):

Now, when you level up an offensive module to max level (Level 5), it will have a slightly different behaviour and will be much powerful. It only applies to the rocket launcher (example below).

Systems adjustements:

Difficulty scaling:

Higher enemy tier no longer spawn with the level of the player. Instead, they will spawn based on the timer (new enemies spawn at 3:00).

Graphics contents:

New ship:

There's a cool placeholder for the ship with a dot in the center. The dot will indicate the amount of HP left as it turns red.

Enemies facing the ship:

A little tweak but still good to have, the enemies now are always facing the player.

Quality Of Life:

There's a quick tuto at your first launch of the game. Yeay !

Balancing:

• Now, enemies have base health and scale less with the player level. They are a bit stronger in early game and less powerful as your ship levels up.
• Enemies deal less damage.
• Maximum enemy limit on the map is now 50.
• There are more enemy spawner as the timer advance.

For the next update:

I will focus on balance and difficulty curve. I need to break the linear difficulty by adding some enemy wave management. Maybe focus on an end game ?
