The Voidfarer Chronicles: Citizen - Prototype 2 [Windows download]
Yep. This is it.
Ten months after the last prototype, P2 has finally arrived. The gameplay video above has been updated. If you haven't watched the work in progress since, here are a few things that have happened.
- New enemy behavior where they seek you out, band together and try to beat you in numbers. You must separate them if you want to survive. Enemies are tougher and, most importantly, can't be flown through!
- New background art, ship trail and particle effects.
- An entity/component system now pumps behind the scenes enabling scalability beyond anything the past system could manage. This isn't much of an end user feature, I know, but a promise of future expansion and maintainability.
I ended up setting the deadline for P2 to February 1 and have been coding like crazy the past week to get it done in time, and a lot of things were cut out as well. Hopefully I can get back to talk about them before too long. Stay tuned.
In the meanwhile, accept the challenge and beat back the approaching enemy fleet. I hope you'll enjoy the download and the new video. Drop me a line if you like/dislike what you see. Thanks for viewing.
