Version 0.7.6
Burning Skies » Devlog
Hey guys! We have a major update this time, alongside the usual tweaks!
Starting with the big news - we now have bosses! 4 in total, each showing up every 5 wave and combining traits of the enemies spawned. There's still a long way to go but I'm quite happy with what I have so far.
Other changes include dynamical spawn-time determined by the type of enemy and progress of the game, multiple enemies spawning during the late-game and tweaks to power-ups and HUD elements.
Changelog:
- GAMEPLAY
- Bosses!
- Every 5 waves a boss will spawn
- Enemy spawning is paused while bosses are active
- Boss 1 moves left/right and shoots down
- Boss 2 moves in a square, moving from corner to corner, shooting at the player, also shooting drones at the player
- Boss 3 moves around in the screen and shoots bullets at the player and laser to the direction facing
- Boss 4 moves around the screen and scatters bullets
- New Spawner
- Enemies increment during a wave and then resets. Spawn wait gradually decreases like before
- Enemies spawned per spawncall increases every time a boss is defeated
- Power-Ups:
- Merge Homing and Firepower so that there is still reason to keep collecting firepower upgrades
- Health becomes rarer with every level
- Firepower becomes rare after reaching full-power
- Pulse is only dropped by bosses
- Pulse destroys enemies, but only damages bosses
- Shield System
- Player shoots missiles first and then unlocks weaker-faster bullets with power-ups (Feels too clunky)
- Some enemies will spawn with shields, requiring an extra hit to destroy
- Bosses!
- AUDIO
- Player impact sounds made louder
- VISUAL
- Fixed a bug for HUD Effect playing too fast
- Health bar decreases in chunks for laser damage
