Galagan's Island: Reprymian Rising

November 13 Balance Adjustment: Overheat and Shield
<*>Lowered shield duration from 30 seconds to 25 seconds.
<*>Increased rate at which the gun overheats.
<*>Lowered movement speed of the fifth boss's bullets and made them shootable.

November 11 Bug Fix: Achievements Reset
<*>In the process of addressing several achievements that were being granted at the wrong times/under the wrong conditions, achievements have all been reset and the achievements that were doing this have been fixed.

ACHIEVEMENTS!!!! READ THIS!!!
Ok. So we are having a couple bugs with achievements in Galagan's Island that we need to address....many of them are working just fine, but a few of them are being awarded without actually earning them. So this is a notice to the players...we are fixing this issue, however once we are done with that, THE ACHIEVEMENTS WILL BE RESET!! Which does mean that if you unlocked some of them, you will need to do so again. I realize this will piss off a few of you....however, we are in Early Access for a reason...to allow you to play our game and help us find some of these issues, allowing us to fix them for you...not to mention most of you didn't buy the game anyway, so don't look a gift horse in the mouth. We are working on this right now and will have them fixed as soon as possible. As soon as they are 100% operational and working correctly, we will make another announcement in regards to resetting them.
I will let you also know now that additional achievements will be added when we introduce new levels and bosses....I mention this so that the current players realize that it will not be possible to complete 100% of the achievements until the game is 100% complete.
Sorry for the news, but at least you know we are working on it always.
Thanks for your time and Happy Gaming! ːsteammockingː

November 9 Bug Fix
<*>Fixed a bug where the achievements for beating bosses without getting hit were being granted just for beating the boss at all.

November 8 Update: Achievements are Live and Feature Playtesting
Changes:



  • The game now has 34 Steam Achievements to unlock.
  • Feature Test: The player's gun is now hold-to-fire rather than a toggle fire.
  • Feature Test: The ship's base movement and firing speed is now constant throughout the game. It is hoped that this will put more emphasis on damage and repair as well as help to ease new players into the early levels. Enemies have been re-balanced to match this.
  • The Shield timer meter UI is now a circle around the player's ship icon rather than a horizontal bar.
  • Changed the formulas for power up drop rates.
  • The first boss battle song now has lyrics. This has been updated in the soundtrack DLC as well.
  • Bosses now have proper sound effects to their attacks, matching those in the Metagalactic Monstrosities DLC.
  • Player 1 can now use either WASD or Arrow Keys to move in Story Mode.
  • Adjusted the amount of time it takes the player's gun to overheat.

October 9 Update: Boss adjustments and new background

  • Changed the order of the bosses for both the main game and the 'Metagalactic Monstrosities' DLC.
  • Made it so that the captured/clone ship has a visible shield while invincible.
  • Put in a new background for levels 6-10.
  • Adjusted the Hero Ship AI in the 'Metagalactic Monstrosities' DLC.

October 7 Patch: Boss Bug fix and UI Update
Changes:

  • Fixed bug where the game would get stuck if the player died on a boss battle.
  • Updated Pause Menu UI to match the rest of the game's UI

New Free DLC: Metagalactic Monstrosities
We have just launched a Free DLC package titled Galagan's Island: Metagalactic Monstrosities, originally created for the Ludum Dare 33 Game Jam.
In this DLC you control the bosses from Reprymian Rising, trying to destroy the hero.
This DLC uses separate application file to launch. After downloading the DLC, when you hit "Play" in your Steam Library you will get a popup asking whether to launch Reprymian Rising or Metagalactic Monstrosities.

As we move forward, we will be continuing to update and polish this DLC alongside our work on Reprymian Rising.

September 20 Patch Notes: Sound Track, Co-Op Changes, Swarm Updates

  • Credits have been updated to reflect changes and expansions to our team.
