We just placed #6 for graphics and #7 for innovation in one of the biggest game jams ever held on itch.io, Game Off 2020 . This update not only improves upon the foundation we built during the jam but also adds new mechanics, a completely overhauled UI, increased replay value, and much more!

Team building

We've added a ranking system to the crew members. They can now be carried over from one mission to the next as they gain xp, level up and get better. There are now over 50 unique perks and flaws across 9 character classes, making every mission feel different and unique. Mix-and-match to build the perfect team to unlock each of the 5 endings.

UI Overhaul

The user interface was one of the areas we spent the least time on during the jam. We've now given it the attention it deserves. All of the 2d art in the game has been revamped.

Tutorial

One of the main pieces of feedback we got during the game jam was that we needed to guide new players through the game instead of dropping them into the cockpit and letting them figure it out. We've now added a guided system which slowly unlocks the mechanics and controls in the cockpit one at a time the further along you get into the game. There are also in-game prompts which always guide the player on what to do next.

Bug Fixes

The jam version of our game had a couple of bugs that we only discovered after the submission deadline. We apologize to anyone who had their game crash while playing the jam version of the game. All known bugs have now been fixed and the game is stable.

We are continuing to work on the game and will keep you updated on our plans with more devlogs soon!
