Very nice! I have a question. Would it be possible to add an auto fire mode that can be upgraded in speed with the currency? This way I don't have to lift my finger non stop. Perhaps it could be a mode or mod? Billy
Me and James have been talking about how to do this for some time. Hopefully we'll be ready to test it soon, the idea is to have auto firing energy weapons that speeds up when it has energy. We just need to see if it works with all the elites. They would be unlocked in the same way as all the other weapons though we might just give one away for free!
Awesome! Was hoping you liked the design. Loved the idea, always a fan of the real thing. Who knows, maybe I'll add more ships like this in the future. I think I know a guy that can arrange it... Yeah, it would be permanent. Would just slow down if it had no ammo/energy. Reckon it would hit the spot? Haha, I'll keep you and everyone posted when the new ships are added. It should be in then next release if all goes to plan. We've had a virtual joystick mode mentioned a couple of times. What do you folks reckon to this?
Yes. That would be just fine! Have it slow down with no energy would be fine. It would also make the relative controls much more functional too. Billy
Exactly and I can use another finger to reload. This is going to be awesome! I really love this game! I can't wait for this to be added. This and the new reload mechanic. You guys really know how to make a fun game! Billy
Appreciate it Billy! And with the new reload system, you won't even need to lift another finger or thumb.
Oh really? I thought it was just moving the button. I guess I misread. Explain how it will work? Man this is getting better and better. Billy
Yeah, as long as it pans out in testing (hoping to have a TestFlight build up very soon) we'll be replacing the button with a "dock". Simply moving the ship to it will reload. Here's a gif of it in action:
Ohhhhh yea that's perfect! I see now. I love it! That's fantastic. This whole thing would make the game seamless. Billy
I'll look for the test flight and give it a good run through. Since my unlock all purchase is restorable it won't matter if I delete the game and do the test flight. I'm more than willing to offer my test thumb for service hehe Billy
New testflight build with the docking reload will be available very soon. In the meantime, I've been in the shop designing the new energy based Auto Blaster! The endless, no hassle addition to your thumbs destructive capabilities. Here's a quick preview of how the weapon should look!
That looks absolutely perfect! It's EXACTLY what I would have wanted. And I love the burst fire. Really this is so awesome. Billy
As promised, the new TestFlight build has arrived. Get in touch if you'd like to help test the new features as they happen!
