Game: Captain Kaon
Hey Peeps.
So....I've been working on this update for a little while. I'm going to patch in a couple of fixes here and there over the next couple of weeks, but otherwise this is the end. I had been hoping to add a few more things, but unfortunately, like so many other games on Steam nowadays, Captain Kaon didn't really sell and I've run out of money. It's been arewarding few years making this game, and I'm really proud of what I've accomplished.
In this new version the main changes are:
New Gunships
I've change the sprites to better communicate the gameplay. The old ones looked a bit too 'top down'. I've made the new ones side on, the body then has a fixed rotation so it's always horizontal. The thrusters are then on a tilting bar that you rotate to change direction.
New Hanger
The old hanger screen was hideous, so I made a new one. It also has some new features. You now build gunships and weapons using your fleet resources. You can then choose three to take with you on a mission. But be careful, if your shiney new gunship is destroyed you lose it and any weapons it had.
Campaign Changes
I've changes the way fleet resources are used, you now spend resources once to scout a region, you can then attempt the mission as many times as you like.
Highscores
You now have a score and killing stuff increases that score. Watch out for the civilian buildings, if stray bullets destroy them you will lose points.
These's also lots of balancing tweaks and level fixes and other little stuff.
I hope you enjoy this new version.
