So it's been a little while since you've heard from me, apologies on that I've been very busy (both irl and busy fixing some of the issues with the game)
It is my pleasure to finally say that I've added Controller Support! A feature I've wanted in the game since day one but couldn't due to some technical difficulties! (turns out steam does not like controllers a lot lol)
along with your favourite modern arcade joysticks I've fixed up some of the common issues I've notice people come across by reading the community posts and listening to feedback.
The changes are as follows:
Added Controller Support
Prevent asteroids from launching at you if they are right next to you, giving you more breathing space
Any asteroids that get destroyed close to you don't get launched as easily
Asteroids are less like heat seeking missiles and now more like less accurate rocket launchers
Achievements that were not unlocking previously should now unlock correctly
- Every 10,000 points should add an extra life correctly now (before getting to scores such as 30,000, 40,000, etc would not add a life as intended)
Hopefully now climbing up the leaderboard should be an easier feat, I'd personally love to try and see someone reach 1,000,000 😏 can you?
More features I plan are coming at some point I promise! I really want to mould my first game release into something amazing for everyone new and old, they will just take time (due to being in uni lol) so stay tuned.
Finally, if you'd like to give any feedback or want to join in on the community feel free to join the discord server games hub https://discord.gg/s3wQHzNQqJ We're small at the moment but in due time we can grow by building the Meteorites 3D Community!
Thank you all for joining me on my game dev venture!
Notice about Controller Support
Heya everyone, I'm sorry to make this announcement but controller support will not be available until a future update, this is not because I'm lazy and can't be asked to add it but this is because my controller for testing has broken and I currently don't have the funds to buy a new one to test with, so controller support will not be available until I can get a new one and add it in a future patch.
Hopefully this should not be too far into the future but I thought I'd quickly let you all know ahead of time so you don't plug in a controller and get mad at me for not making controller work, I you all to feel smooth controls when using a controller with this game, and that's not something I can deliver with a broken controller, thank you for understanding, and thank you everyone for the continued support on the game!
Kickstarter Just Launched!
You can find the link to the Kickstarter project here: Here
Heya everyone! I hope you're all excited for the upcoming release of the game as I am, but I'm currently in a sticky situation, the game is on it's way to completion but with my studies as a newly started University student time for working on the game have drastically gone down as I'm needing to do the course work, work a part time and this at the same time
So I've started this Kickstarter to allow me to help pay for essentials while I work on the project further and giving me more time to work on my studies!
Every bit of money that is given is appreciated any those who give will be rewarded!
- Everyone who gives more than £5 (currently $5.59) will receive a steam key for the game, this will be cheaper than the planned price for the game
- Everyone who gives more than £50 (currently $55.86) will receive the same as above and be featured in their own kickstarter page on one of the menus of the game
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the progression of the game, every little bit helps me build my future as a games developer!
Meteorites Release Date Change
Hey everyone!
So to quickly clear up any confusion, the release that was mentioned in the gameplay trailer, found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCltK9ohjGw States that the game was planned to be released sometime during August (as of writing this, this month)
I'm afraid that's changed now due to some circumstances that have happened in my life which reduced my time to work on the game. To make it a quick story, this game is only a side project of mine and I still have a job that I need to attend to and in choosing the release date I was too ambitious. And so the game is not yet ready for release, so the new planned release date is now going to be 17th December This should give me enough time to work out the kinks of the game and balance my life at the same time. If I can get those sorted sooner, I may pull the date forward so I won't keep everyone waiting for too long!
Thank you everyone for waiting so patiently for this game.
