Version 0.3.9


Version 0.3.9

      Along with some important fixes, this update seeks to make combat a little more dynamic and intense. The explosion graphics have been tweaked, so they have a larger flash and leave lingering smoke in space. They also have new, punchier, sound effects. Explosions have thrown out a couple of pieces of debris for a while now, but now those bits can impact and damage stuff. Whats more, certain enemies will now sometimes spiral out of control when defeated, exploding after a short time, or smashing into something and exploding. Enemy mines will now explode when impacting with anything, not just your ship. So no more mines trying to get to you and pushing against an asteroid that's in the way! Enemies (and your ship) will also trail smoke when badly damaged, giving greater visual feedback as to which enemy is nearest death.

      Other changes include new map icons, and a pine forest for blue planets to add a bit of variety.

      I plan on releasing a few smaller updates like this, while slowly adding things in the background that won't be available in game yet, ready for a big update in the future.

      Thanks for reading and thanks for playing my game! Full changes below.

Just pushed 0.3.9a which removes some debugging stuff that was accidentally left in, 'cause I'm an eejit.
