update 1.7
Stardust Arena » Devlog
MAJOR STUFF
- Online leaderboards are now here, built-in. Thanks for playing
- New enemies:
- Revenant. Cunning and stealthy, they try to snipe you from afar, bend light to cloak themselves and have a dangerous close-range bomb attack
- Shielder. Exists solely to shield other ships. Complain to me about any weird interactions.
- New track with a darker, grittier tone
- Waves
- The state of a proper campaign is not something I can confirm at this point, so waves have been expanded to 30
- Waves are now online-based, but there is an option to use the ones in the local wave file. Edit it at your own risk.
BALANCE CHANGES:
- Dash energy cost removed. Rejoice
- Rockets stick to their targets a little bit longer
- Module update:
- Almost all module scaling has been reduced
- This is because advanced (green) modules have received new passive effects to make their gameplay more varied and interesting
- Notable changes:
- Health module reworked to shield module - provides a shield rechargeable with collected energy
- Reload rerouter passive duplicates shots
- Scrap recycler passive enables leeching health from enemies with the drill
- Module system is still under construction. State of the art (yellow) modules will receive their own unique effects in the next update
- Energy crystals no longer give points
- Reaper buffed with more speed, dodges and fire rate
- Trailer damage, knockback resistance and detection radius increased as they became useless last update.
- Laser tier 3 damage reduced 24 -> 22
GRAPHICS CHANGES:
- Sprite updates! Overall bigger enemies that are easier to hit
- Font reworked to be more consistent
- Ship mini-hud is bigger and can be shown permanently
- Trails look cooler
MISC:
- Bugs have been fixed
- Secret added
