Cryptonaut Demo 1.1 - Major Update!
Cryptonaut » Devlog
This updated demo is a major update to the game.
Gameplay Improvements:
- Bullets and missiles fired have had their collisions tweaked so as to make it easier to hit enemies.
- Reward pickups have had their trigger colliders tweaked so as to make them a bit easier to collect.
- For the demo game mode Million there is now an actual end game objective, with an end level boss and end game sequence.
- Difficulty progression has been tweaked to better fit the Million game mode target -- to make your first million in crypto.
- Also, there is now a highscore table / system in place, that also allows you to save a screenshot to share your massive crypto gains with others. This is presented at the end of the level.
Menu / UI Improvements:
- The previous demo didn't have much by way of a menu, this was the major focus of this update -- I know, I wanted to add 2 new collectable weapon modes but.... A menu was more of a necessity.
- So there is now a main menu, where you'll be able to launch available game modes -- currently only Million is available -- set various options, view the highscore board (and take a screenshot).
- As part of the options, along with setting things like volume, you can also set the menu and hud scale. So if you're on a smaller or larger screen, you can set these two options independently to suit your tastes.
- You will see that you can't actually set your controls yet via the menu options, Unity out of the box is not great at supporting this, however, there are a number of options available that I think will see this being available with the next update.
- The menu also has a how-to section, where players that are new to the shoot 'em up genre, can watch short videos that I hope will better explain how the game works.
I think that's everything I added for this update, minus all the little things done that amount to a lot. The next update will see two new weapon modes added to the game / demo that will be very familiar to those that have played retro arcade 2D shoot 'em ups; that and some more menu work and overall polish.
