Small Update #5
[ 2020-10-24 19:07:57 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey everyone. We're back with more fixes and a bit more content.
- The notes are as follows:
- Fixed an issue where the Seed text in the menu would reset when transitioning between menu points.
- Fixed an issue where Open Fire wouldn't fire properly.
- Fixed an issue resetting the shop may fail in some cases.
- Fixed an issue where when acquiring drones during drone overdrive, they wouldn't reposition properly.
- Fixed an issue where some of the Stat indicators wouldn't show the correct value.
- Fixed an issue where an incorrect rotational value would get applied to projectiles under certain circumstances.
- Adjusted the value gain and scaling of the ROF stat. Overall it will be harder to achieve the hard cap of 10, but early on there won't be a huge difference in the stat acquisition.
- Added 7 new modules.
- Added a confirmation window for the Arcade Pickup. (Random module for 100 coins)
- The Gravity Well module's effect will now be stationary in regards to the playfield. (follows the camera)
- Quitting an in-progress campaign in the middle of a level will now reset the multiplier of the run to 1, to avoid restart abuses.
- The "Lost Ship" boss will now have a small health scaling based on the current stage.
- Updated the engine version to 2020.1.10f1
- Made some minor optimizations to basic systems.

BroodStar - Linux [630.48 M]
BroodStar is a classic arcade shoot’em up with heavy roguelike elements. Careful, though… the vastness of space contains many formidable enemies. If you fall along the way, you have to start over — the only thing you’ll bring with you are the upgrade modules you collected in your past runs, in the form of research points that augment your ship. Will they be enough to get you through hordes of unknown creatures and monstrous bosses, and fulfill your quest of defeating the living planet — the BroodStar?
