Patch 1.4 - Last big patch

Hello Gamers

Here I comes in flash to give you next big patch to Captain Jackson. Sadly this will be the last one, but for now let's discuss the changes.

I was working on implementing new movement system to game. Now it's more smooth and enjoyable. Moreover I've putted a new mechanic to a movement which is Turbo.

Turbo (under Left or Right Shift button) is just a turbo to your speed. You can use it what ever cases you wanted, but will need this on harder waves. It has a little trick with speed so I hope you gonna like it. Turbo is regenerating by a Turbo orb.

Soooo... There is a new movement mechanics... So the enemies will be faster?? Yes my fellow players. Each of 8 enemies has been redesigned to match that perfectly with new movement. Now this game is more Bullet Hell then ever before.

So there are alse some little changes


  • Game overall optimalizaton
  • Changing a color of return text to be more visible
  • Score panel now have new cool effect, like in casino,


Now I need to tell you my sad news. There won't be any more huge updates to Captain Jackson. I'm sorry guys. It was a great travel for me (and I hope for you as well) to play and creating that game. But because of my school and next big project. I must move forward. This dosen't mean that won't be any hotfixes or balance tunig. I hope that in the future I will be able to show you my next game that I am currently working on.

Captain Jackson was a great adveture and I never regreat any minute or hour spending on that game.

As allwasy,

Thanks for all your support and feedback. Now let's kill some bad aliens!

Big visual and gameplay improvement - annoucing patch 1.3

Hello Gamers

After a while I happy to announce that I am working on a biggest patch to Captain Jackson the world has ever seen.

But before happy news I need to apologize about issue with buying a new skins, I am working to fix the problem and implement a system to avoid next bugs like this. But it has deep connect to player save data that it harder to implement fix. For now I recommend you to change a player save data SkinsUnlocked variable to this: [true,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false]
So it should looks like this: "SkinsUnlocked":[true,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false]

*Any other changes to save data file is in user responsibility*

The save file is located in:


  • Windows: C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\From Gamers\Captain Jackson\Player_Stats.json

  • Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/From Gamers/Captain Jackson/Player_Stats.json


But if you don't mind with problem you can just buy another skin XD.

NOW ABOUT MEAT OF PATCH

The whole patch will focus on visual improvement to game due to your feedback. Some of it I will show you in screenshots some of them is still work in progress.


  • I've added an animation of enemies destoying. Now you can see how enemies ships are falling apart. Here is some screenshots in action.

    Enemy1






    Enemy2







    I want to added that animation to alll enemies in game and boss.

  • Next thing that I want to share with you is improvement to orbs. More specialy to health and heart orb (white and red). Now it's only one orb. Red orb now will increase your hearts or heal you if you collect. Only in situation when when you have a 5 hearts red orb will be bonus increase to score. Moreover I've changed a red orb sprite. I think now it's looks better but just compere them for your self.


  • One feature that I am excited to show you is a new game mode. Flip mode. Just checkout screenshoots, you will notice how crazy it is.




    There are some changes that are hardly in progress and I can't show them for you now:

  • New background with depth effect
  • New skin - red smoker
  • Better pause menu background



    As you see there is tone of new things that will come to Captain Jackson. Do you ask me when? I am planning to push new patch in the end of next week or second next week, but I have some exams to pass and don't have enough time to spend on this project (god damn school). But I promise I will do my best to drop patch as soon as it's possible. If you have any interesting idea what could be in next patch let me know.

    Thanks for all your support and feedback. Now let's kill some bad aliens!
