I should probably clarify here: I don't begrudge anyone for using currency systems, microtransactions or whatever they feel is right for their game, just don't want to do that in mine.
Go figure! I like having to make the hard choices of what to keep so that I have extra of something in case I die and space for new things to try out. Sixty items works for me- I am definitely feeling uneasy after each run trying to decide what to keep and what to reject. <- that’s a good thing.
New Version is up! Fun story: When doing a last minute sanity test of the game before submitting it, I got the infamous “killed in warp out” bug. Immediately it clicked and I knew what the issue was. Sometimes you have to experience something to properly understand it, and thus the importance of reproduction steps for bug reports!
This is the current TestFlight version (plus a couple bug fixes) going to store. I only get one day a week to work on Interloper, and I’m kinda hoping to not do a release next week as I really need to focus on getting tvOS and macOS ready. If something somehow turns out to be majorly broken in this current build I’ll try to get a patch out ASAP, but yeah aside from that I’ll be working on porting next week.
My new favorite thing about this game is a new lower graphics setting with each update. I look forward to the green vectors only graphic setting soon.
oh man really can’t get past the idea of doing a green wireframe graphics option as like an easter egg... no matt.. focus!
I remember playing the first Star Wars arcade game (the wireframe one from 1983) at some restaurant when I was a kid. I still think it’s the best Star Wars game ever made. It’s probably the reason I love space games so much. If I had the extra cash, I would totally buy the 1up Arcade Cabinet of it.
No update this week! As promised I’ve spent the day getting iCloud Save sync functioning across iOS, tvOS and macOS, now onto testing, fixing and fixing and fixing and fix... Totally 1000% definitely unrelated, does anyone have a recommendation for a Mac compatible HOTAS?
