Oh and also

They are tied to the normal planet drops, except they are 1% chance for a drop, and you can't purchase them from the Asteroids ++ Store, making them much harder to obtain!

• Space gifts can now spawn rifle bullets, machine gun bullets and spawn mines randomly
• A nuke has a chance to drop on the screen randomly, but that chance decreases for every space gift level

Bugfixes

I wanna thank everyone for trying out Asteroids ++! It was very humble to see so many players play the game, and I hope you enjoyed the heck out of it! Now with the recent changes.

• Updated engine to 2024.11
• Updated Steam SDK to 1.61, improving timeline sdk
• Now you can see weekly/daily planet leaderboards without having to beat it, so it won't say 'error loading leaderboards' anymore (default timer set to 24h per user)
• Fixed bug where ability levels would increase over level 12 because of space gifts
• Fixed abilities almost always activating the dash ability
• Balanced space gifts so that they are not as overpowered, but level 12 makes them good once more:

• Update scribble engine to fix memory leak
• Using 'remove unused assets' option in engine to reduce file size (roughly 7mb, -2.42% decrease)

• 30000 for 2nd place!
• 10000 for 3rd place!

• 10000 for 3rd place!

Gameplay Changes (Releasing late November)

• Added a new utility, Space Gifts!. Space gifts will be dropped when destroying asteroids at random or UFOs, and gifts drop a buff like giving ability power, additional damage, recharge, health boosts along with other things. Upgrading that utility gives a higher drop chance of those gifts, along with making all of the smaller buffs more powerful! Skill tree is also available for space gifts.

Achievements

• ?????????????????????????????????

Menu changes

• You can now disable menu ads at a cost of leaderboards being disabled (global stats will still work, but weekly/daily events wont, as well as the upcoming endless run). Leaderboards are only disabled if a steam user hasn't purchased a DLC or an OST, if a user has purchased an item from a market or the store, disabled ads would still affect the leaderboards, but I am looking to improve this later down the line.
• The 'DLC' in question aren't planets or campaigns, but in the future there will be DLCs for campaigns as an additional option instead of grinding planets to play campaigns, which at that point users could disable ads without leaderboards being disabled, or there could be a dedicated DLC for disabling ads which would also grant players an gift to open (which gives credits)
• If you are confused, the ads refer to this update where based on level users would get advertisements to support the developer, these aren't ads which advertise things from other people, which I believe it caused huge confusion initially.

Gameplay changes

Repair kit is reworked

• Repair kit will now 'supercharge' rockets, the pulse, the shotgun, the laser, the sniper, and the mini rockpods, and will bring out hooks faster if they aren't on the playing field, super charge gets stronger per ability level
• The repair kit already supercharged the rifle, healed recruitments, recharged bouncy orbs and it did reset the machine gun's secondary ability so no changes have been made there.
• The repair kit will still heal the player based on ability level
• This can be stacked so if you activate multiple repair kit abilities, be prepared to see your whole screen full of bullets!

After playing asteroids I discovered that some weapons would need reworking to do, so here's what I am thinking of:

Balance Changes:

Features

• Changed the socials tab (added website and 'work for me', removed TCC)
• The asteroids store may now receive sales, there could be a sale on from time to time!
• Added possible languages in the languages tab, and also 'help translate' button
• Added a new gameplay option: Wave skip coin spawn

Fixes:

• Fixed boss spawning in weekly planet, essentially if you ran the Sun campaign and then played weekly planet, bosses would spawn...
• Fixed softlock when using super skip while also having the clone equipped (thanks Completed24)
• Fixed having an ability to use the clone even if its unequipped.
• Fixed bug where if having a clone would duplicate the effects of the ability (two ability huds would spawn)
• Fixed a bug where having a clone would duplicate android controls, wait what (???)
• Fixed issue where sometimes entering in different games and then in daily would result in having more ability power than intended.
• Fixed issue where the weapon level would still be copied even if the clone has been destroyed (which is a buff)
• Fixed some UI stuff

Asteroids ++ Update!

• Added 2 new music kits in the drops! Added Black Rock and it's final wave variant!

Asteroids drops changed:

• Small Asteroid - 51.6% chance to drop instead of 20%
• Medium Asteroid - 25.8% chance to drop instead of 20%
• Large Asteroid - 12.9% chance to drop instead of 20%
• Huge Asteroid - 6.4% chance to drop instead of 20% (NOW RARE INSTEAD OF COMMON)
• Triplet Asteroid - 6.4% chance to drop instead of 20% (NOW RARE INSTEAD OF COMMON)
• Golden Variants - These asteroids are now 7.8X more rare to be dropped. (NOW VERY RARE INSTEAD OF RARE)

Future Updates (1.2.X and 1.3)

We aren't saying asteroids are high, well I mean... they are... but... no, forget it!

ENABLED STEAM CLOUD FOR ASTEROIDS ++!

6 new drops are out in the common pool!

Added:

• Black Small Asteroid
• Black Medium Asteroid
• Black Large Asteroid

• Black Triplet Asteroid
• Black UFO (Sniper)

Asteroids ++ 1.2.1

• NEW ABILITY Extra Lives! THE FIRST PASSIVE ABILITY: When the player dies, it respawns... at a cost of a ability slot. Higher level shortens the cooldown when you can be respawned.
• Passive abilities activate on it's own and not based on player input (so without pressing X or LT) and are activated under special conditions (so with extra lives it activates when the player dies)

Asteroids ++ now introduces the 3RD DROP IN THE GAME.

• Later they will be replaced by future drops and will no longer be droppable by the game, so gather as many as you can!
• The 2nd Drop of planets is no longer available. You can only gather them through the market or trading.

• Forgot to add the skill tree for the mini rockpods so I readded it :)
• Fixed issue with daily levels not disappearing when clicking through menus
• Fixed issue with the Kepler campaign not using correct planets
• Mini rockpods now deal 1% of damage to dark green asteroids
• Mini rockpods firerate is now 50% slower (as previously on level 12 they would be fired instantly per frame)

New Campaigns

Dailies!

New Rocks!

Features/Changes

• Added ads that advertise my stuff (sorry)

Ads

• If players have paid for Infiland games, DLCs or similar previously, the frequency of ads is reduced, while some (like the soundtrack) would be completely removed.
• Frequency of ads changes depending on level and what they bought
• Ads will only be shown on the main menu, ads will not appear during gameplay
• Ads wont appear under level 15, unless players have played at least for 20 minutes (timer resets on game launch)
• Ads wont appear every time, it has 15% base chance for an ad to appear, chance increases up to level 200 up to 50%
• Each ad isn't advertising any other product other than my stuff, so no "inappropriate" ads are shown. Other opportunities to advertise on my game may come up though, just contact me on prayforniceland@gmail.com
• There may be an opportunity for me to add a free "disable ads" option in settings, however I'm thinking on making this more viable.

• Drops are now 2X more common
• The sun campaign no longer has dark green asteroids

Fixes

• Fixed weapon drops not working properly
• Fixed bug where you can click on skill tree if you had a popup (weekly popup for example)
• Removed developer debug console if cheats are enabled (only to avoid exploits)

Features/Changes

• Player count will appear after 20 active players instead of 10
• Player EXP multiplier is now capped at 2X
• Healing asteroids can heal again despite being damaged
• Grading now depends on player health (worse player health = worse score), however taking no hits will grant a much higher chance for a high grade
• Added new achievement "WTF"

Changed coin rewards for wave skipping:

• C and worse: 1.0X
• B: 1.1X
• A: 1.2X
• S: 1.3X
• P: 1.4X
• WTF: 1.5X

• After reaching level 300, required exp is 50000 instead of 20000
• After reaching level 500, required exp is 99999 instead of 50000
• After reaching level 999, required exp is 999999 and will stay that way for infinite levels
• The anticheat was improved to support new levels, if you have issues with the anticheat, please let me know
  
• Updated steamworks api

Balance changes:

• Level 12 dmg decreased from 5 to 4, lower levels get lower dps but not a significant decrease (so 20%, and each level has a lower % dps decrease)

• Starting cost 150 > 125
• LEVEL 1: DPS decreased by 67%
• LEVEL 12: DPS decreased by 40%

• Starting cost 200 > 75
• Procedural cost 50 > 30

• Procedural cost 75 > 70

• Starting cost 150 > 200
• Procedural cost 70 > 60

• Shield recharges 3X faster when stood still

Fixes

• Fixed customization menu mouse input (thanks amorata604)
• Fixed timer being inaccurate for weekly planet if beating it over 1 hour
• Fixed shield hp

Features/Changes:

• Healing asteroids will now only heal (itself or others) if it's health is damaged
• Healing from a healing asteroid gets worse the worse it's health is.
• Grade now always shows at the end of the sector (unless lower than D)
• Added new recruitment names

Fixes:

• Fixed issue with loading paid campaigns (thanks TheDastardlyUnicorn and mentat dragon)
• Fixed a specific crash on the hook weapon
• Fixed graphical bugs with the grade (being stuck/not decreasing when losing)

Features/Changes

• Triplets Max HP reduced from 750 > 500, making it have 1000 hp in total, and 1500 if it's a boss
• Triplet Damage reduced from 8 to 6
• Pulse now deals 5X damage against green asteroids (100% > 500%)
• Shots from asteroid bullets can now damage UFOs
• Asteroid bullet damage scales with difficulty (but that means that deflected bullets also deal more damage)
• Machine Gun deals less damage to yellow asteroids (300% > 200%)
• Hooks will now get destroyed when a black hole is in contact, and also pulled, but any coins gathered by the hook will be collected by the black hole
• Black hole now drops 67% of the coin contents instead of a full 100%. A black hole will have a better coin drop value by 3% for every level upgraded, so 100% at level 12. This means it technically can pull in "more coins" or in other words deal more damage as the limit on how many coins it can consume didn't change, but is less economically viable.
• Due to this change, black hole is now cheaper to upgrade. Procedural cost 50 > 40
• Dash also changed, procedural cost 50 > 20 (Buff)
• Updated shop info, especially bouncy orbs and black hole, and also some items have a special max level description
• Decreased UFO firerate if owning recruitments
• Rifle and machine gun recoil is more spread out (not using irandom_range)
• Laser now has recoil and is no longer 100% accurate, but made sure it only gets really inaccurate if having other weapons like the rifle and machine gun

Fixes

• Fixed all achievements that were impossible to obtain (thanks awaranoid)
• Fixed issue where triplet wave happened before venus (there's more bugs regarding to triplets, which will be fixed later)
• Black hole wasn't properly scaling with levels and used timestop levels
• Black hole spawning always set timestop to level 1

12 new drops are added in the common pool!

What can I do with these items in the future?

• You will be able to use them in sandbox and test your loadout, higher levels allow you to choose a more powerful version
• You will be able to make custom weapon restrictions in the future level editor update, so keep an eye on that
• You will be able to unlock that max level for that weapon or unlock it if you don't own it

Features/Changes

• Starting Cost 50 > 60
• Procedural Cost 0 > 30

• Changed how grading works to compensate with big sectors, this still needs a rewrite
• UFO Recruitment health is now 50 instead of 90
• New achievement: Space Hook'er - Have a hook bring a 69 $$$ coin

Fixes:

• Fixed UFO Recruitment crash
• Fixed rare crash with the hook speed

Decided to release a part of this update because 1.1.8 is taking too long, but I am glad people still enjoy the game regardless. Apologies for slower updates, I was on vacation and had private things in my life to take care of, thanks for understanding and being awesome!

Features/Changes

• Added custom names in recruitments
• You can now add custom recruitment names! Head to the modding folder in the game to add new recruitment names!

• Release to throw, hold to pull! The hook will automatically hook in asteroids, dealing damage, and then pull coins when the hook has reached full capacity. Each level gives an additional hook which gets faster, deals more damage, and can carry more coins. This weapon is supposed to be more of an idle weapon and note that it is extremely expensive.
• There is also skill tree available for this new weapon!

NEW GAMEPLAY OPTION: Max Asteroids

• This has been added to address performance issues, maximum amount of asteroids can be present on the screen (256-1024, infinite will be added later), while lower numbers may make the game easier, it will take longer to beat sectors if its limited. Only use if the game performance isn't great
• In the future, if the limit is set, asteroids wont spawn from bigger asteroids (large, huge, triplet) but instead placed in queue for normal spawning if there is too many asteroids for performance reasons, unless the setting is set to infinite.

Other

• Rockets will only seek enemies if it's in range (Nerf), only made to make bigger sectors a bit harder since rocket was broken in them. This also applies to UFO rockets though.
• Recruitments will only seek and shoot at enemies if its close in range (Nerf, but this is only made to prevent lag)
• Skill tree changes: Increased level requirement for all skill categories:

• Weekly planet is now perfectly in sync with all players Oh yeah, final thing, and big nerf here:
• Wave skips will now award 5$ per wave instead of 10$

Fixes

• Fixed issue with hard planets saying it's always "June"
• Fixed issue where its possible that the game will say that you've played before but the player launched the game for the first time
• Improved recruitment AI so that they better avoid large and huge asteroids (havent tested with triplets, mothership or final boss)

Known issues

Features/Changes

• Whoever has been flagged previously in the game will get banned and it will be displayed on the side of your steam profile. Unintentional cheats will also be flagged but not banned, unless strictly attempted by those to cheat leaderboards and give an unfair advantage to others which do not cheat
• Keep in mind that I am the one who picks out users and ban them, there is no system in place which autobans people on steam, so if you have a banned label on the side, that's me. Whenever or not this is a VAC ban or not, I don't care \_()_/
• Idle conquering is now less efficient when having recruitments or clone on your loadout, but not completely disabled like last time
• Idle conquering multiple sectors is now much more harder (single sector conquering is the same), still not perfect but much better than before

Fixes

• Fixed issue with weekly planet displaying "0 days left" instead of showing how many hours/minutes are left

Features/Changes:

• Super skip ability requirement now dynamically changes based on level and how much waves there is in a sector
• Currently the formula is (390 - level of super skip) * waves in a sector
• Added textures in different texture groups, causing less glitches, better loading times and smaller file sizes

Fixes

• Fixed an exploit where you could play the sun campaign without owning the campaign
• Fixed the freezing glitch, again... please let me know if it works for you now :smile:

• Green Asteroids will now always heal asteroids instead of healing sometimes, makes them dangerous again!

• Super skip ability cost 2000 > 3000 (nerf)
• Super skip procedural cost 65 > 60 (buff)
• Selecting multiple sectors will now always increase wave count by 1 (no matter if width or height is increased)
• Changed the donation gift to be more in-line with the IAP from the asteroids store
• Added price for the donation gift
• Updated shop info (mainly shield, bomb, recruitments and rockets), also minimized description for the sniper
• Weekly planet has to now load in order to play (it will say LOADING if it didn't)
• Changed some game over text
• Changed item drop changes (music kits have a much rarer drop chance)
• EXPERIMENTAL: You can press O and P to change the zoom of the camera while in big battle screens

Fixes

• Split machinegun bullets to machinegun and recruitment bullets, which fixes the issue of machine gun not firing due to recruitments, and graphical issues where recruitment bullets would be larger because of machine gun level
• Fixed bouncy orbs not bouncing correctly in big battle screens
• Fixed main menu text being off in wide battle screens

Release 1.1.5b

Features/Changes:

• Nerfed chaos wave
• Item drops should now happen while playing weekly

[ 2024-07-08 00:12:22 CET ] [ Original post ]

Release 1.1.3

Clone has been reworked because it didn't work properly at all, here are the changes for it:

• The clone will mimic player weapons. Leveling up the clone will make it much stronger
• When the clone dies, you respawn instead
• This means that if you pair a clone with a shield, a shield would respawn a second time
• This also means that you can respawn more bouncy orbs on the screen and recruitments
• You can now idle conquer with clones, which are more effective than recruitments

UTILITY EXP Changes:

• You now gain more utility exp per utility level, previously it took too long to get to further levels of anything, now that's been fixed.

Machine Gun Rework

• Holding shoot with the machinegun charged will deal 3X damage, then it drops quickly to 1X as it depletes (Buff)

Other

• Added more recruitment names
• Added a sound when idle conquering sectors
• Added new achievement "Your little empire"

Fixes

• Fixed issues with background changing in weird ways
• Having weekly planets in your inventory will now count towards the "Planet Collector" achievement

They are tied to the normal planet drops, except they are 1% chance for a drop, and you can't purchase them from the Asteroids ++ Store, making them much harder to obtain! You get them normally by playing the game, but once the 2nd drop of planets are over, these will be impossible to obtain through normal means. Good Luck!

In the golden drop:

• Golden Charon
• Golden Proxima Centauri A
• Golden Proxima Centauri B
• Golden Proxima Centauri C
• Golden Proxima Centauri D
• Golden Sun
• Golden Nix
• Golden Hydra
• Golden Styx

Release 1.1.2 - Controller Support

Features/Changes

• Added controller support :)
• NOTE: This was only tested using an xbox controller, there are MANY PROBLEMS. Also I am not a controller person so please use your keyboard instead! But test this out regardless so I could get feedback. Keep in mind, you can't use the satellite or idle conquering YET, and shop is scuffed. But that will be added/fixed in the future.
• Added schemes whenever a controller is connected

Fixes

• Fixed small issues with the main menu
• Leaderboards should work again

Asteroids ++ is now supported natively on linux, it should work with most linux configurations! So no more proton! Keep in mind that there are still a lot of issues with this build, mainly blurriness and the fact that you can't switch windows properly, but that will be fixed ASAP. Thanks for all patience! :btd6salute:

• Huge Asteroids now heal 5 instead of 10 health
