Good LORD!!! Will the big ships the player's supposed to protect have weapons? It won't be fun otherwise...
Man, it feels like I have to disappoint you every time I respond Unfortunately for you and the ships, they are disabled and can't defend themselves. The Red Nova is using its main guns against the mothership to keep it under control and you have to defend them while ferrying their crew to the safety of the Red Nova. For what it's worth the enemies only attack one ship at a time, and in waves. All the testing feedback I've gotten is that it's fun to play as well. Obviously I knew I wouldn't be able to please everyone, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and hopefully you still end up enjoying it
Oh well... I guess I was expecting an all out Star Wars or epic space battle... (Sins of a Solar Empire! - PC 4x game). Hope this game will reach that point though! Two capital ships firing main guns at each other, swarmed by fighters from both sides and anti aircraft guns blazing... (hey wait... you're going to disappoint me again aren't ya? )
It's building up to be like Wing Commander or X-Wing, but a bit on the arcadey side. I can only do so much on my own which is why I went with the episodic formula
In between being a zombie because of a lack of sleep and working on the trailer, I did up a little Episode 2 desktop. Got the family together, including an unwelcome guest! (Click to enlarge)
Here it is. The trailer for Red Nova Episode 2: Mercy! It will be available on August 23rd as a free update to Red Nova! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Any chance I could get a mod to edit the title of this thread to change (Free update coming soon!) to (Free update coming August 23!)? Thanks!
