Nov 30, 2016

We are out of EA!

October 1, 2018

Thank you all for playing our game in our EA period and we are truly sorry that we seemed in-active for so long, So much has been happening that we slowed down development on Alien Hostage for some time.

We have fixed the last few known bugs that have been emailed to has as well as completing the few space levels that we had planned. So with all that done the game is now completed!

Inventory Items Working Again!

June 13, 2017

Hey all. Sorry for the massive down time in our inventory item icons being broken. I have been sick for a little over a month now and have only just had the time to fix most of the issues that people have been reporting befor i got sick.

All easter items can no longer be gained and they will be added as legacy items.

Thank you all for your continued support and please forgive me for having such a large down time.

Easter Update and Fix's

April 2, 2017

Hey all. In this update we have added 2 new in game items. "Plant Of Life" and "Easter Egg" both of these items are limited edition and can only be gained with-in the next 3 weeks.

Patch Notes:
1) Fixed some UI problems.
2) Added a close button to all popup panels.
3) Added difficulty options to the game 'Normal' and 'Hard'. Hard mode is how the game has always been how ever Normal mode removes all Props from the scene but 1. There should only ever be 1 prop per scene when playing in Normal Mode.

In the next few updates i plan to be finishing off the level select menu ready for release. After the release of the level select i will continue making more levels for the game!

News on our inventory.

March 17, 2017

Hows it going everyone?

As some of you may have noticed the images/icons for Alien Hostage inventory items are missing. Unfortunately around 2 weeks ago our dedicated server that was host to those images gave up on us we have been working to get it all set up and working again and we estimate another 3 days - 1 week before its all running. When we do fix our server we will also be adding more items into the game.

UFO Editor Update!

February 15, 2017

This update adds the new UFO Editor to the game. This gives you the option to re-colour the ufo as well as changing how much health or energy you start with.
You can think of the UFO Editor as your difficulty setting. You can either make the game harder by giving your self less health or making it easy by giving your self more.

There is now a new option in the Inventory panel that is called 'Use local skins'
Selecting this will allow you to select the skin that you have created and saved. Skins are saved in the 'UFOSkins' folder of the main game directory and the format of saving is .json.

Using local ufo skins will disable any Steam inventory items you had equiped.

Thanks

Small Fix

February 2, 2017

Hey all. As some of you may have found out there was a small issue with the games workshop uploader that would not submit your items as micro transaction items. This should now be fixed and the guide on how to submit workshop items will also be updated.

Thanks.

Workshop Update 1.2a

February 1, 2017

In this update i have completed the workshop submission options. You will now be able to submit your own workshop content that can be voted on by the community. At the end of each month the top 5 items will be added into the game.

There will be a guide on how to currectly submit your workshop very soon.

The limited edition "Christmas Hat" can no longer be obtained in game.

I have enabled a very early access version of a game mode that i have also been working on. The game mode is called Stress Relief where the objective is to deal as much damage to your UFO as possible with out making it explode.

Patch Notes:
- Added workshop upload area.
- Added new gamemode.
- "Christmas Hat" can no longer be won.


I know this may seem like a small update but i still need to do some final work on my new forest levels as well as fixing some minor bugs in a few of the older levels.

Thanks

Update 1.2 - Inventory Update!

December 19, 2016

In this update i have implemented a new Steam Inventory system to the game.
To start with we have 6 items.

I have also added 2 new settings so you are now able to adjust how slow the slow motion is and you can now disable the games dialog.

Prop axis are now fixed and they should no longer roll away.
