HAPPY FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Happy birthday Asteroids ++ ! The game was released on 20th June of 2024, how time flies doesn't it? Well it's time to reveal some next changes for the game.

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44677482/8a998e21862966f9b60190c7b629060215b528f7.gif"][/img]

Breakdown

I am still seeing the player base enjoying and playing the game. I've been pushing the game to other platforms like gx.games where the game got jawdropping 70000 players playing it! And 10000 steam players have launched the game!

4th Drop

I will start doing Planet Drops again, I want to make the planet drops to be a bit more consistent, because the first drop lasted maybe 2 weeks, the second around a month or two, and this one? 9 MONTHS!

Yeah, that's right, the third drop lasted since 22nd September! I think it is finally time to do something about that, so I will try to be consistent and release **every planet drop for every 4 months.** This way the players can know when to expect new campaigns, weapons, asteroids and big updates, while in between

1.3.0

I have been working here and there on the game, to be honest, I've been mostly on other projects, so I think I will shift some focus on the game again, here is what is coming up:

Teegarden Campaign

A campaign featuring 4 planets, with a new gimmick of 'disproportionate' planets, where you will face 3x4 planets, or 4x3. The campaign will feature Teegarden B, C and D, and the Teegarden Star, which is 5x5! It will cost 3.99 as a DLC, but like always, you can buy planets or get planet drops to play the campaign for completely free!

The Jovian Moons

A campaign featuring 6 planets, featuring Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa, Amalthea, Himalia. The campaign will cost 5.99, but you can buy planets or gather planet drops for free.

New Weapon - Fireworks

Thought it would be fitting. Basically imagine a rocket except it explodes into a bigger explosion of smaller rockets! It will deal HUGE damage, but no homing capability, and it has limited range.

New Ability - Power Star

For a temporary time, turn all of your weapons and utilities to level 12, and hear epic music while at it!

The 1.3.0 update will come out when the 4th drop gets out.

1.3.1 and beyond:

Game-based campaigns/music kits

I was thinking to do this for a while, where if you owned something on the steam library, you would get a campaign or a **music kit for free.** I'm going to look into it more and this will be a cross-game event.

Changeable music

Music during gameplay are based on what asteroids you face, but I will be looking to have players customize this feature.

Difficulty Change

I will be making a drastic change for difficulty. When going from planet to planet, you lose weapons and their levels based on difficulty, but I am thinking to change it up so that instead of losing weapons, the shop items get banned per planet based on seed. I think this is a more interesting approach rather than removing something from the player that they already bought.

Weekly planet difficulty

There are players playing and competing for a new record times in weekly planet, so I will do a small update for it. You will be able to change difficulties in weekly planet and you will get bonuses.

Common Drops

Music kits, asteroid drops, weapon drops! You name it! They are all coming

Ability/Utility Crafting

I plan to add abilities and utility items for drops, which can be used as discounts for the skill tree (1% per level), just like how weapons work at the moment.

Anyways, I will be hard working to get this out as fast as possible! Tomorrow is going to be a sale on the Asteroids ++ Soundtrack, Proxima Centauri and Kepler-90 campaigns. Have fun!

Fixed the tutorial softlock (Thanks Scary Guy) Disabled some stuff in the web version (like steam inventory, which isn't even available in the first place)

[ 2025-06-08 15:01:28 CET ] [ Original post ]

A few players reported that there is an item issue where steam will stack inventory items. This was a backend change on their end it seems, but it breaks how item combining works, so before 1.3.0 is released, there will be yet another patch for 1.2.9. Sorry for the big wait on the content, I am still working on it, along with other cool projects in mind :)
Changes: - Final boss explosions are now more satisfying - Updated scribble text-rendering engine, which brings more performance - Updated russian translations - All intro screens of planets are now translated to all languages.

[ 2025-06-03 13:41:33 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed tutorial crash, that's it, happy easter :)

Balance Changes

Player

• You can now thrust in Asteroids ++
• The player can now hold LCTRL (or hold LB button) to thrust to double speed, but changes controls and movement feels much like in classic asteroids. You can use strafing to damage or even destroy asteroids at a fast enough speed.
• Thrusting will however use up ability power (faster speed = more ability power used). Be careful! Clones will use more ability power if you have many of them!
• This brand new feature [strike]will be for future ship types[/strike]

Waves

• Each wave gives 100 ability power (even with super skip)

Nuke

• Nuke can now target UFOs (between medium and large asteroid priority, previously under small asteroids priority)
• Nuke now deals 1.5X damage at starting level (20 > 30 per frame on level 1, 32 > 42 on max level), this change does not affect the player's losing health being inside the nuclear explosion
• Mothership's pulse can reflect the nuke

Space Gifts

• Timestop can now slow down space gift movement

Hook

• The hook can now block enemy bullets at a cost of their carrying capacity being lowered because of it. The hook will have priority to chase after those bullets.
• Because of this change, the price dropped from 70 > 50

Ability Power

• Ability Power cannot go under 0 anymore.

General Changes

• Updated the engine to GM2024.13
• More of the game translated (more menu buttons and planets)
• Since the controls are starting to get a bit more complicated, I plan to release controls config for the 1.3.X, which is in the works.

[ 2025-02-22 16:17:59 CET ] [ Original post ]

Features:

• Added translations to the game! Finally! Translations for this game were worked on for quite some time, there still needs more work to be done but for the most part it looks good enough.
• Added the following translations: Spanish, German, French, Italian, Serbian (Latin, Cyrillic will be added later), Russian, Macedonian, Ukrainian
• Due to translations, I had to change the font throughout the entire game, because the old font didn't use unicode, please tell me what you think of the new font.
• Translators will be thanked in a future update (1.2.8a presumably)
• Sometimes the text can go outside of buttons (seen in the picture), but that will be fixed in future updates

Fixes:

• Fixed pitch going under 0.00x in Sound Test (thanks MYSTICAL CREATOR)
• Fixed pitch going over 4.00x in Sound Test (thanks MYSTICAL CREATOR)

Balance Changes:

Space Gifts

• Money weight increased from 40 > 50
• Money gained from collecting a gift changed from 2 - 4 per level to 1 - 4 per level
• Spawning additional gifts weight decreased from 5 > 1
• Spawning additional gifts effect only spawns 1 copy instead of 2
• Gift spawning did not change and still depend on spaceship level and wave
• Nuke weight decreased from 4 > 1
• Black hole weight decreased from 4 > 1
• Weapon, Utility and Ability level up weight decreased from 10 > 5
• Rockets weight decreased from 20 > 10
• Rockpods weight stays the same (10)
• Ability Power weight increases from 40 > 50
• Health boost weight increases from 30 > 50
• Everything else is the same (golden asteroids, recruitment and bouncy orbs spawns)

Laser

• Laser now has a dropoff. Damage on the laser decreases the further the targeted asteroid is (decreases by 25% on furthest distance)

I think with these additions and changes it is very fair to say to support me through DLCs or getting a donation gift. The game is free, and without these donations the development will drastically slow down. Thank you.

[ 2025-02-01 18:32:17 CET ] [ Original post ]

Update for Asteroids ++

Previously when trying to unlock DLCs, you could by either buying planets from the marketplace, or waiting for drops, but now I am adding another option and that is straight from the steam store! So... I am planning to release the following DLCs on steam:

• Asteroids ++ | Pluto (0.99e)
• Asteroids ++ | Proxima Centauri (3.99e)
• Asteroids ++ | The Sun (0.99e)
• Asteroids ++ | Red Moons (1.99e)
• Asteroids ++ | Kepler-90 (7.99e)

(There will be store pages for each)
Now these DLCs are the campaigns that already exist in the game, however buying these will immediately unlock them without the need to complete something or to own a planet (or set of planets) in your steam inventory. Even a download is not required, so all DLCs just get unlocked! A campaign would be unlocked with a purchase as an additional option. For each DLC bought, users would get a gift based on a purchase (much like if you bought TCC or soundtracks), similar to the Donation Gift, but may be better depending on which DLC is bought. There would be a bundle called 'Asteroids ++ | Super Edition' (working on the name) which includes all DLCs at a 25% discount (so currently at 11.99e), and this bundle will include all current and future DLCs! And finally, all of the DLCs will receive discounts from time to time, unlike planets, there will be rotating discounts each month so be on the lookout! These discounts affect the bundle pricing as well.

But I already own some of the campaigns!

If you already have the campaigns unlocked, they will stay unlocked and everything is free if you own planets! I am not removing access to anybody and never will, forever! After all it is your choice if you want to buy these DLCs! (and I would appreciate it because it really does help me a ton!) And you can still unlock them for free [strike](because time is money) [/strike] Expect these additions somewhere in February! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Have fun!

Oh and also

Thank you so much for over 100 reviews! It means a world to me that I can prove that this is the best Asteroids game yet! Totally not a biased claim. But you guys are awesome! While I know there are features/bugs that need to be addressed, you guys seem to really enjoy the game and I am very happy about it! Keep going with your love and support!

[ 2025-01-17 01:50:31 CET ] [ Original post ]

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 3rd drop of planets are over, these will be impossible to obtain through normal means. Good Luck!

In the golden drop:

• Golden Phobos
• Golden Deimos
• Golden Kepler-90b
• Golden Kepler-90c
• Golden Kepler-90d
• Golden Kepler-90e
• Golden Kepler-90f
• Golden Kepler-90g
• Golden Kepler-90h
• Golden Kepler-90i

[ 2025-01-16 20:52:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

Added... something???

[ 2025-01-14 23:08:41 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Added the ability to shoot with left click, right click to activate ability, and zoom out and zoom in with mouse scroll WITHOUT 'mouse controls' enabled (thanks Zaxtor99 TTV)
• Improved loading times when starting the game
• Skill tree discounts will apply the moment you start the game
• Removed the 'language tool' from the game's folder to reduce file size
• Improved weapon items in the steam inventory to include weapon levels

(still needs a bit of work, but you don't have to click on items to see their level anymore)

[ 2025-01-14 14:40:47 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Fixed discounts when owning steam items
• Fixed upgrading level 11 steam inventory weapon items to level 12

[ 2025-01-13 19:12:40 CET ] [ Original post ]

You can now exchange weapon inventory items

WEAPON UPGRADING WORKS!

You can now upgrade weapons from the steam inventory in the main menu. Go to Steam Inventory > Craft Inventory Items > Craft Shop Items > Upgrade Weapons
Then the weapons would be upgraded to a higher level (up to 12)
What do weapon items do? For now, they will bring discounts to the skill tree So for each level of a weapon you own in your steam inventory, it is 1% discount for each level. So if you own level 12 of a weapon in the inventory, that's 12% off for EACH TIER in the skill tree You can get weapon items from drops or by buying them here.

Linux support

Rererererereadded linux support (maybe)

Balancing

• Space gifts can now give more money when collecting a gift, but the money is spawned across the level
• 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

Fixed bug where every utility is unlocked for new players

[ 2025-01-12 03:33:45 CET ] [ Original post ]

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:

Rockets spawns reduced by 5X Minipods spawns reduced by 10X Money gain decreased from 1-10 * utility level to 1-3 * utility level Golden asteroid chance on level 12 reduced from 100% to 10% Ability power reduced from 100-200 * utility level to 100-150 * utility level Health boost reduced from 10 * utility level to 5 * utility level Nuke can now destroy gifts Recruitment spawns reduced from 4 to 2, however they will have according levels (ONLY IF RECRUITMENTS ARE UPGRADED IN THE SHOP, NOT BASED ON UTILITY LEVEL) Bouncy orb reduced from 2 to 1, however they will have according levels (ONLY IF BOUNCY ORBS ARE UPGRADED IN THE SHOP, NOT BASED ON UTILITY LEVEL) More gifts appearing reduced from 3 to 2

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

I know that 'nerfing' is not a great look for gifts but gifts were literally too overpowered, even right now they still are, but I think I'll leave them as is :) Happy New Year everyone!

ASTEROIDSMAS!

From today to 31st December, I invite you all to sing along with the song I've written for Asteroids for Christmas! The best singer would receive 100000 credits from me. The following lyrics are in this blog post:

https://infi.land/blog/twelve-days-of-asteroids-song-event

Alright, the submissions should be either an audio/video file, and can be submitting on my discord server: https://discord.gg/6np9CmuEyv HAVE FUN!

[ 2024-12-16 01:28:12 CET ] [ Original post ]

Asteroids ++ 1.2.5

(This build is not finished, but a public beta is released, 1.2.5 will be released this week as a stable version)

Clone Rework

The clone will now spawn immediately at the start of the sector instead of acting as a second life. Your clone strength will depend on the clone level, you can also use abilities with the clone (so you can use 2 nukes at once for instance), however the ability power requirement will sum up depending on how many 'clones' you have. This will be important later :) There are some changes in the clone skill tree, for example, tier 3 is now the current tier 4 and the new tier 4 will now provide an additional clone (but a much weaker clone) The game's code base has been changed to support this feature, for example, game over will now activate if all spaceships on the screen are gone, which may save your realistic hardcore runs

Recruitments Control

A small change in recruitments, you can control recruitments after the player's death without causing a gameover screen, for a 'chance' to win a sector, but the player can choose to press 'R' to not have control over recruitments and go straight to the shop. Available as a gameplay option in settings

New utility, SPACE GIFTS!

Gather flying gifts in space to powerup your spaceship temporarily! There would be temporary buffs such as health ups, weapon/ability/utility upgrades, or perhaps bonus money! I think keeping it a secret makes it fun to experiment, but if you really want to know, then just watch this, but this is still not telling the full story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7omFGFrLPkE

Other

• Buffed mini rock pods to deal more damage
• You can now get repair kits in daily levels
• Random utilities are now given to you in daily levels
• During shield activation the player deals constant damage to asteroids, similar to 'ship spikes' utility
• Added many new recruitment names
• Added setting to change bullet max distance (thanks dezashibi)
• Fixed graphical issues in the shop (thanks Morn2)
• Fixed Using Skip Ability causes softlock if clone weapon is active (thanks Completed24)
• Some menu updates that support new inventory items
• Ability Recharge is now faster the more spaceships are on screen and also depends on those spaceship levels

From today to 31st December, I invite you all to sing along with the song I've written for Asteroids for Christmas! The best singer would receive 100000 credits from me.

• Fixes issues with decrypt console commands

[ 2024-11-16 17:44:59 CET ] [ Original post ]

Menu Changes

• On special occasions, there will be an event button where you can participate in events. During events, it is usually a discount, a prize pool or whatever.

On 18th November and only on that day on 00:00 to 23:59 The following pool prize is:

• 100000 credits for the 1st place
• 30000 for 2nd place!
• 10000 for 3rd place!
• 2000 for 4th and 5th place!

What you do in the event will be revealed in the next day

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

• ?????????????????????????????????

The ??? Room

• Added new console commands

[ 2024-11-16 17:14:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

To give you an idea how that looks like, here is maxed pulse, maxed repair kit, maxed shotgun, maxed sniper and maxed rockpods in action:

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

Balance Changes:

Black Hole: - DPS increased by 50%, no cost changed Rock-pods: - Damage increased by 6X - Procedural cost reduced from 65 to 30 Shotgun: - The first 5 frames of the bullets spawning now deal 2X more damage Bouncy Orbs - Increased base damage by 2 times but decreased recharge damage from 10X to 7X Clone - Many, many fixes, but could be still broken Repair Kit - Repair kit ability now recharges all orbs depending on ability level Orange Asteroids - Bullets from orange asteroids are less resistant to player attacks Yellow Asteroids - Medium: Decreased HP from 20 to 10 - Large: Decreased HP from 100 to 70 - Huge: Decreased HP from 1500 to 700 - Triplet: Decreased HP from 500 (1000) to 400 (800) Green Asteroids - Triplet: Decreased HP from 500 (1000) to 450 (900)

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!

Store has been updated to be more pleasing to look at! It is now on list instead of being grid based, let me know in comments what you think!
Check it out and buy something yourself to support the game and the developer!

[ 2024-10-23 15:56:10 CET ] [ Original post ]

• 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)

Asteroids drop changes are made to balance asteroid crafting and make item trading more meaningful. It also naturally makes more sense to have bigger asteroids be rarer. Finally, the official OST will also update to include new songs very soon.

Future Updates (1.2.X and 1.3)

Infinite Achievements - I always hated the 'Do X amount of thing' achievements, which is why I (mostly) tried to avoid those achievements on Steam. My achievement design is generally unique for each weapon/ability/utility or progression based. Now I have an idea to include achievements in-game and the player can progress through infinite achievements where they can 'upgrade' achievement medals and gain higher rewards! Monthly Medals - I plan adding monthly medals, there would be a medal which can be upgraded to infinity and each upgrade costs more credits. (So for december it would be a christmas based medal). Each medal upgrade brings a permanent 1% buff (either shop discount, weapon buff, ability buff, utility buff, asteroids health, asteroids damage, specific asteroid type nerfs, skill tree buffs, etc) but costs more and more credits the more it is upgraded. A new medal would appear each month, however, if you upgraded a medal from the previous year, the levels would be saved so you wouldn't have to grind for upgrades again! Ironman mode will disable these buffs, and in weekly/daily levels ironman mode is on by default. Monthly Gifts - There would be a monthly gift which when opened would let you play a minigame and depending how well you did in a minigame the prize is determined based on how well you did. These would be obtainable through IAP (or special events). On average a player can earn 15000 credits, up to a max of 30000 if they play minigames perfectly (or 10000 minimum if they do it poorly). There would be a unique minigame for each month! Shop Discounts - I am thinking to make a discount system for the IAP shop, so occasionally there would be a sale on a specific item in the shop. That's all, thanks for playing! If you want more quality updates, please donate!

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

[ 2024-09-27 20:41:52 CET ] [ Original post ]

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)
• Added skill tree upgrades for the ability
• Daily levels no longer have black rocks
• Weekly planets have 5x less chance to spawn black rocks (this will be changed later)
• Added an ability to remove corrupted save files
• You can now use WASD in the stats screen (thanks CDeth)
• Fixed bug where daily level time was adding up with each attempt (thanks kyle2662)
• Hook cost reduced to 100 > 80
• Laser procedural cost reduced from 30 > 25
• Laser cost increased from 60 > 70
• Shield cost reduced from 75 > 50

[ 2024-09-25 10:35:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

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

• When playing the game you will receive random planet items in your inventory and they will be available during the 1.2.X period. Drops are determined based on how long / often you play 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.

You can also visit the Asteroids ++ Store here! Buying from the store supports the developer!

[ 2024-09-22 17:19:57 CET ] [ Original post ]

• 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)
• Mini rockpods cost changed from 50 > 55, procedural cost 31 > 65

[ 2024-09-22 10:51:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

Features and Changes

I am probably going to forget to cover something, so I am going to try my best to mention the best features.

NEW CAMPAIGNS

Added 3 new campaigns are added, Red Moons (2 satelites), Kepler-90 (8 planets) and the Teegarden Family (3 planets) The game has significantly more content than ever! (Note: Inventory items are required for these campaigns to be played)

NEW ASTEROIDS

You don't want to touch them. These new asteroids are also added in Sandbox

NEW MUSIC

New Music was added when black asteroids appear, check it out in the soundtest or on youtube! (Or just buy a soundtrack to support the developer) [previewyoutube=xxu9kNzawHU;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=trA63A1Bm-U;rightthumb][/previewyoutube]

DAILY LEVELS

Asteroids was always about who can be the best player. Play a randomized sector with randomized weapon loadout with randomized asteroids! How fun! Rewards in daily levels are credits, the reward is higher depending on how hard the daily level is, the difficulty on a daily level also matters greatly (realistic gives a lot of credits) You can now enjoy daily content and compete with players every day! Play through very short levels!

PLANET DROPS

The 2nd drop of planets is officially done! You can no longer buy planets from the store, the 3rd drop is coming very shortly after this update, I will be revealing them in a future news post.

CRAFTING

A new menu was remade for the steam inventory so I can put things in like crafting. This isn't still fully complete as I need to add more items, but we have a nice foundation in general now

NEW SHOP ITEMS

MINI ROCK-PODS (Weapon)

Cost: 50, Procedural Cost: 31

WAVE CRUNCH (Utility)

Cost: 75, Procedural Cost: 20 These items add a nice dynamic to the game and there is also skill trees for both of the shop items

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

TIME LEFT INDICATOR

Ever wanted to know when the wave ends? In 1.2.0, the small ship that shows the wave counter will move towards the next wave number. Once it's close enough, that is the indicator of the next wave.

WAVE SKIP REWARD

Instead of giving coins instantly upon wave skip completion, it will now spread them out in a level. This is more of a balance change to make the magnet seem more unique to player loadouts, but at the same time lower the cost of the Convince utility because it was too damn expensive! I'd like to hear your opinion on this change because it is a pretty significant one.

HARDMODE SHOP DISABLED

I've disabled the shop in hardcore (and daily levels) because there is an exploit to avoid death during hardcore by just going to the shop during gameplay. You can still prevent death by going to the title screen, but all collected coins won't be saved, which was possible previously.

OTHER

• Sector completion coin reward now depends on what grade the player got
• Shield Regen while idle is now healing 50% more instead of 200%
• Updated recruitment names
• Improved loading
• Improved sector generation
• Ship Spikes Cost: 75 > 50
• Updated steamworks api, in the future, timelines will be included
• Fixed timestop for the mothership boss (thanks BrawnyVolt)
• Added a new achievement

Support the Developer

Buy goods from the shop and receive rewards for more quality updates! Thank you!

[ 2024-09-21 14:23:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Usual updates have slowed down to focus on myself, however I am packing a big punch very soon! The new Asteroids ++ update is almost ready! :meng8:

New Campaigns

I know people asked for more content so I have planned out campaigns for the future 1.2.0 update. As soon as it drops, there will be new planet drops as well (The planet in the news art should hint what the long campaign will include) Two campaigns will be short (2 and 3 planet campaign), and one will be as long as the main campaign (8 planet campaign) The names of the campaigns will be announced later, for now you can guess.

Dailies!

There are rumors that daily levels are coming to the game, which give the player a randomized loadout on a randomized sector and randomized waves, also coming with leaderboards to compete with friends, don't tell them that I told you! In the future, weekly and daily events will have restricted weapons, abilities and utilities, making the game a bit more interesting to find solutions to problems, but I'm thinking to add new weapons first before diving into that!

New Rocks!

Also coming in the brand new asteroid type (with new music) and planet types (more on that later!) New weapons are coming as explained earlier, but before all of that, I'm still working on 1.1.8, I talked about it here, which brings crafting and should be out soon. Thanks for the patience, if you have bugs to report, report them here! Thanks again!

[ 2024-09-13 22:33:30 CET ] [ Original post ]

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)

I know this would probably be a hated feature, however I hope you value the transparency of the game. It is only understandable that I do this in F2P game models, and ads in my paid games are avoided. It only makes sense for the frequency of ads to decrease as the player supports the game, which makes more sense and would act more like a game which someone paid for. Please give me feedback on this system, I want to make it right and fair for myself and players

[ 2024-09-01 17:56:28 CET ] [ Original post ]

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:

Machine Gun

• 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)

Blackhole

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

Convince

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

Nuke

• Procedural cost 75 > 70

Quad Damage

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

Shield

• 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

[ 2024-08-31 00:40:36 CET ] [ Original post ]

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)

[ 2024-08-29 10:14:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

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

[ 2024-08-27 02:15:28 CET ] [ Original post ]

12 new drops are added in the common pool!

Been a while since you've seen these. Well today there will be a brand new common drop type, WEAPONS! Enjoy 12 level variants of the rifle weapon! (In 1.1.8 you will be able to combine weapons and make them more powerful!)

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

You can buy level 1 weapons here and combine them into powerful variants! It supports my game development! Or, you can play the game to unlock them!

[ 2024-08-24 01:33:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

Features/Changes

Laser has been pretty good for its price

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

I'll do later changes with this weapon in a future update to bring down costs a bit, mainly introducing inaccuracy as the laser was always 100% accurate with shots

• 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

[ 2024-08-23 11:31:53 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!
• This file will always change in every update that I add new names, so in the future there will be a way to "select" specific mods that change recruitnment names. While we are at it, added a bunch of newer recruitment names
• Asteroids will no longer spawn other asteroids if they have max hp (with exception for bosses, for now...)
• Updated SteamWorks API, which introduces less lag and less latency for existing features (achievements / player count etc)
• Updated text engine, allowing for extra effects (you can add effects to recruitment names for example)
• Added new explosion effects and smoke effects, needs more testing
• Changed the loading screen which hopefully causes less stutters during gameplay
• Changed achievement Super Skip Payout to be 500 $$$ instead of 1000 $$$
• Changed achievement Wombo Combo to be 9 sectors to beat instead of 10 required at once
• The ??? is now accessable at level 20
• You can pay the bills from level 40 instead of 30
• Updated F1 menu
• Updated credits

Bugfixes

• Fixed some skill tree upgrades
• Fixed minor menu problems
• Fixed specific crashes regarding many asteroids on screen

Known Issues

• Recruitments dont work when trying to target huge asteroids
• If there are payment problems with the items, please let me know

Item Drop news!

I'll continue to bring a new type of common drops! Weapons! When 1.1.8 comes out, 13 new drops will come out, a player spaceship (that you can use to spawn in sandbox!) and the rifle weapon with 12 levels (you can configure levels in sandbox) Each level is more rare (level 12 weapon being non obtainable), but each weapon item can be upgradable to the next level if you combine weapons (So if you have two level 7 rifle items, you can combine them to get a level 8 rifle item)

Plans for Release 1.1.8 and beyond

Crafting!

You will be able to combine planets into previous drops and turn them into golden planets! Also asteroid crafting will be possible so you can use them in sandbox!

New Shop Stuff!

Space Gifts! - UTILITY - Dropped by UFOs or asteroids, gifts will provide small buffs like giving health or increasing a weapons/abilities/utility level temporarily. Each level from space gifts increases quantity per sector, these are useful for making the ship more powerful overtime during a sector Wave Crunch - ABILITY - Skips 2 waves, makes the following wave harder, but if it has been "wave skipped", the payout is 5X more valuable. Each level increases payout reward. Hydra Pods - WEAPON - Small rockets dealing mediocre damage, however unlike rockets it doesnt deal splash damage,. Has a fast firerate and seeking abilities which targets the nearest enemies 1UP - PASSIVE ABILITY - Another life! But what happens if you combine it with the clone?

General Upcoming Features

Endless Run - Compete with friends and with the world to see who can conquer the most sectors while choosing randomized shop items! Level Editor - Create levels, planets and solar systems and share them for free! Use planets from your inventory! Steam Workshop - Upload your levels online and let players play and rate them! Co-Op - Planned as local/couch co-op, gather your friends around and each ship would have a different weapon loadout! More Asteroids - More asteroid variants and types are coming More Bosses - Planning to add new bosses, as well as change existing ones a bit New Music - Each asteroid type/boss gets brand new piece of music, which is added in the music kit pool and people who have the Asteroids ++ OST will get a new song for free! More Planets and campaigns - And then introduce these new mechanics to the table with newly released content!

Balance Changes

Machine Gun

Machine Gun had bullet limit problems and it confused too many players, so I removed them, the limit was only there to prevent having too many bullets on screen

• Removed bullet limit
• Reduced bullet lifetime in half

Rocket:

Changed the rocket price to be more accessible to allow for early start loadouts

• Starting Cost (100>80) Procedural Cost (55>60)

Recruitments:

Same goes with recruitments

• Starting Cost (50>40) Procedural Cost (35>40)

Pulse:

Pulse was a very underrated weapon and pretty bad in the beginning so prices for it are now insanely cheap at the starting levels

• Starting Cost (50>25) Procedural Cost (20>50)

Shotgun:

Shotgun was supposed to be a weapon that acts similarly as the rifle and machine gun, so later levels will be cheaper

• Procedural Cost (40>25)

Hook

Hook will get a semi-overhaul, it was too good at collecting coins and made players quickly rich, unbalancing the economy when reaching a high hook level.

• Max hooks that can be spawned on level 12 hook (12 > 4)
• Hook Damage (0.4 + hook level * 0.05 > 0.8 + hook level * 0.1)
• Hook Damage Cooldown (0.083s > 0.166s)
• Starting Cost (125>100) Procedural Cost (65>30)
• Fixed Hook EXP gain, I'll change how weapons gain EXP in a future update

Dash

Nobody used dash, so I made it more accessible

• Starting Cost (75>50)

Timestop

Timestop can be exploited in various ways and while I like seeing players use various strategies, it can be too good on higher levels

• Procedural Cost (70>80)

Quad Damage

• Procedural Cost (50>70)

Repair Kit

• Procedural Cost (20>15)

Orange Asteroids

• Orange Asteroids can only shoot the player if the player is nearby

Linux

- I've made some efforts to fix the linux port, let me know how it works for you (massive thanks to steventrouble, SaltyStan, Onymous, DungeonLord87, pixelpaintbush and others!) - Texture glitches may no longer occur anymore, but further testing of this is required.

Other

I was going to get the 1.1.7 update focused on the planet collection and planet crafting, but recently a lot of people using linux distros reported many bugs regarding the linux version so 1.1.7 is just going to be a linux fix and all of the planet stuff will be for later If you noticed a decrease in speed of development, that is because I'm focusing a bit on myself in the recent times but the game is still being worked on! Thanks for playing

[ 2024-08-05 16:05:35 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Fixed bug where an additional hook wouldn't appear if tier 3 of the hook weapon was gathered

[ 2024-07-29 23:09:11 CET ] [ Original post ]

Features/Changes

• Weekly planets can no longer be larger than 4x4, only hard planets
• Hard planets get at least 2 extra waves
• Quad damage now gives back 0.01s for every asteroid hit instead of 0.05s (Nerf)
• Changed skill tree tier 3 Quad Damage to give 0.02s for every asteroid hit instead of 0.1s

Fixes

• Fixed crash with hard planets
• Fixed other crashes with recruitments

[ 2024-07-28 22:55:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Release ++ 1.1.6

(Note... linux isnt updated because there are issues with it, also quad damage is still busted on the final boss)

NEW WEAPON: HOOK

• 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:

Weapons: 2.5 Levels > 3.5 Levels Abilities: 3.5 Levels > 4.5 Levels Utilities 4.5 Levels > 5.5 Levels In general there is a bigger grind but if you are level 50 you shouldn't really worry about it too much.

• 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

Machine Gun doesn't work if UFOs with machine guns are present The game could still crash on campaign, it's much harder to track from where since the common bugs have been fixed, thanks for reporting! If you have any bugs to report or features to request, click here

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

[ 2024-07-22 15:38:57 CET ] [ Original post ]

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:

Also sorry for frequent updates its just that more serious crashes cause me to go mayhem! Thanks everyone for being patient and awesome!

• 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 1.1.5

I would've easily called this 1.2.0, but I'm planning something much bigger, so 1.1.5 it is. Ever had 'low attention span' playing this game? Beating Jupiter sectors 16 times sounds repetitive, which was a common complaint that it gets a bit stale after a while. So I decided to add something to counter that while adding strategic value.

Introducing Multi Sector Select!

Multiselecting sector lets you battle multiple sectors at once! This also works with idle conquering, so you can idle conquer multiple sectors as well. There is no limit on what sectors you battle, you can conquer the entire planet by selecting all sectors! The ultimate goal for this is to lower amount of playtime required to save the planet, but in return it makes the game harder and less rewards on average is given. Note that this feature is locked until players are at least level 15, this was intentional to not frustrate new players with information bombardment.

New Campaign - THE SUN

It's a campaign with a single planet, which is 6 x 6 size! Use multi sector to your advantage!
You need to have the sun item in your inventory to play

Gifts

By having other Infiland games, Asteroids ++ OST, or simply donating, you will receive gifts for free! What could be inside? Who knows!

New Achievements

WOMBO COMBO

Beat 10 or more sectors at once

SUPER SKIP PAYOUT

Gather over rewarded 1000 $$$ for super skipping

Summary

• Added the sun campaign
• Mouse controls now save
• Added multi sector select
• Multi selecting will cause the battle room to be bigger
• Bosses will now properly spawn when super skipping
• Decreased logo size in the menu, causing better texture sorting
• Changed hud to work well with big sector rooms
• Added gifts for having infiland's stuff
• Fixed black player sprite in sandbox
• Added "scroll to view more" in skill tree due to players missing out on the scroll at the bottom
• Added more recruitment names
• Changed the way recruitments spawn in the beginning of the sector to prevent them from spawning in one direction
• Planet descriptions can now have colored text
• Added 2 new steam achievements
• Added back "receiving items" prompt
• Added "Planet Collection" menu, which is locked out for now
• Fixed bug where weapons were reset when going to settings ingame
• Debug stats are now viewable with F1 instead of F
• Improved visibility of wave counts after wave 25

This update brings quite a lot to the table, sandbox mode, new utility, changes to idle conquering and quality of life improvements!

Sandbox mode

Spawn in and test out asteroids that you own in your inventory! This mode will be expanded to have an infinite combination of player loadouts in the future.

NEW UTILITY, Ship Spikes!

Ship spikes is an utility that deals damage to asteroids that you come in contact with. Each level improves it. Combine it with repair kit or shield for a promising result. With it comes a skill tree which will improve the utility if you have dash upgraded

IDLE CONQUERING CHANGE

You can now idle conquer while having recruitments or clone in your loadout, which makes this a buff for both of the weapons since it is less limiting. I'm yet to test this since it could turn out to be too good.

Other

• Changed a lot of player code which brings more stability, but it could cause unexpected crashes so if you get any, let me know
• Removed unused songs + changed some sounds (like the grade up sound) to be stereo
• Fixed crash with the mothership and orange asteroids where they could spawn a bullet trying to target a non-existing player
• Updated utility graphics for the accuracy, health and magnet.
• Removed unused code
• Small changes to the store page of the game
• Added 'Weekly Planet' as an option in the Asteroids ++ Store
• Added new recruitment names

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"
• Added +40 more death messages

Fixes

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

[ 2024-07-07 14:56:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

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
• Golden Kerberos

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

[ 2024-07-06 16:47:21 CET ] [ Original post ]

Asteroids ++ is now supported natively on linux, it should work with most linux configurations! So no more proton!

Release 1.1.1c - Balance Changes

Happy 4th of July! It's time to balance the game further!

Features/Changes

• Changed how dark green asteroids can reflect bullets

Sniper

Sniper was made more expensive to act more like a secondary weapon, cost nerf it is

• Sniper starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)

Shield

Shield was just too good to use so I decided to make it a bit more expensive, but still a good option regardless

• Shield starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)
• Shield procedural cost 0 > 35 (Nerf)

Bouncy Orbs

Bouncy orbs could be a bit more useful now with the introduction of dark green asteroids, at a procedural cost increased as you progress with leveling

• Bouncy Orbs can now take up reflected player bullets and UFO bullets, at a cost of charge decrease (but it doesn't reset)
• Bouncy Orbs procedural cost 0 > 25 (Nerf)

Nuke

Nuke was dissatisfying to use compared to the black hole which could kinda do what a nuke does except its cheaper and a bit more limited, so I decided to make the nuke a bit more available while keeping okay costs on later levels. Also decreased ability cost for more infinite pierce uses

• Nuke starting cost 300 > 200 (Buff)
• Nuke procedural cost 125 > 75 (Buff)
• Nuke ability cost 4000 > 3000 (Buff)
• Nuke procedural ability cost 1000 > 750 (Buff)

Timestop

Timestop as an getaway ability was decent enough when having a lot more going on in the screen but UFO bullets aren't stopped, so instead I've made them so they convert into player bullets with a cost

• Timestop procedural cost 50 > 70 (Nerf)
• Timestop turns all reflected and UFO bullets into player bullets upon use (Buff)

Repair Kit

Nobody used this thing, so I made it cheaper

• Repair Kit starting cost 110 > 50 (Buff)
• Repair Kit procedural cost 40 > 20 (Buff)
• Repair Kit will recharge machineguns ability (Buff)
• Repair Kit ability cost 400 > 250 (Buff)
• Repair Kit procedural ability cost 250 > 150 (Buff)

Fixes

• Bullets can sometimes get stuck in dark green asteroids and deal unintentional massive damage
• Fixed wrong info when wave skipping
• Fixed Repair Kit not working (thanks CqtnuNick)

Release 1.1.1b

Features/Changes

• You can now unlock the pluto campaign without beating the main one by owning either Pluto or Charon in your steam inventory
• Changed how the game drops items to prevent bots
• Removed more old code and optimized some bits of the game
• Weekly planet has been nerfed, it can no longer have over 8 waves if the planet isn't "Hard" (it may surpass 8 because of asteroid evolution)
• Nerfed Mars from 4-6 to 3-6 waves
• Nerfed Neptune from 5-10 to 4-10 waves and starting threat level from 20-30 to 10-20

Fixes

Known Issues

• Linux isn't properly launching, I'll attempt to fix it asap
• Audio is weird in GM2024.6, this is flagged to be fixed in GM2024.6.1

[ 2024-07-04 13:48:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Hopefully fixed the "inf bound" crash issue (please test this one by trying longplays or the current weekly planet)
• Removed old code

Release 1.1.1

Recently there has been an increase of the "player count" where the game jumped from the highest 24 player count up to 4000! However this looks like a bot problem. Seems like bots run the game every 2 hours to try to get item drops, usually weekly planets and sell them on the market. This update attempts to fix this issue of bots, the game now has an algorithm which checks if you are a legit player playing. This algorithm is not going to be explained.

Features/Changes

• Engine updated to from GM 2024.4 to 2024.6, which brings more stability to the core of the game
• Attempt to "fix" the bot problem
• Player Count EXP multiplier bonus decreased

I won't ban bots, as it's impossible to ban 4000 individual accounts, let alone make the anticheat try to ban people, which could lead problems in banning legit players, so my goal is to make users get drops but just make it HARDER FOR BOTS to get drops. Enjoy the update

Features/Changes

• Added new recruitment names

Fixes

• Weekly planet showed incorrect time when the next planet is coming
• Fixed issue where items couldnt be bought with the exact required money

Asteroids 1.0.7 - BLACK HOLE ABILITY

This new ability was supposed to be added in 1.1.0 but I guess I'm putting it earlier because of a major bug that the community has found, but at least I'm not yet releasing a major feature release yet!

Features/Changes

• Added a black hole ability, it will suck ANYTHING one at a time (reminds me of my gir) But can also drag in the player so be careful! The black hole will stop sucking after some time or if it has sucked in enough asteroids, after which it will spit out a large coin.
• The Black Hole Ability cost is 700 and ability increase is 150
• Skill tree upgrades for the black hole are also here
• Credits updated so the black hole was made by Kutejnikov
• Information on abilities and utilities on the ability activations are available
• Updated clone information
• Added "Retro Start" and "Retro Dead" songs, as well as item variants in the item pool
• Added more recruitment names
• Increased recruitments price a bit in the shop
• New Achievement, Golden Shower
• Added a limit on how many bullets can be in the classic asteroid gamemode
• Added support for longer planet names

This is a smaller update, as I am working on 1.1 which is going to use steam items and you'll be able to craft items. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, CURRENT PLANET DROPS WILL CHANGE
Features - Prices in the Asteroids ++ Store take the currency and the actual price of items. - There's a sniper graphic when you have the sniper equipped Bugfixes - Resolved other audio issues if many asteroids/coins are collected - When having bugged weapons with 'level 0' due to going to the next planet, the weapons should not be able to work, that's been fixed - When pressing R during the "Game Over" screen, the difficulty of the first wave is carried over and doesn't reset. - More typo issues fixed

Release 1.0.4c

Fixes
• Fixed issue where the rifle would stop working if you had tier 4 skill tree

[ 2024-06-24 19:45:08 CET ] [ Original post ]

Release 1.0.4b - HEALING ASTEROIDS UPDATE

Features/Changes:

• Healing Asteroids are now 1000x more optimized. Previously for each asteroid a check was made what asteroids exist and if they have lost health, now there's a asteroid manager that keeps track of that once instead of 300 times

Healing Asteroids are nerfed:

• Healing Asteroids may or may not heal instantly, when spawned it will take some time to choose an asteroid
• Small asteroids now heal 0.1 health instead of 0.15
• Medium asteroids now heal 0.25 instead of 0.5
• Large asteroids now heal 1 instead of 2 health
• Huge Asteroids now heal 5 instead of 10 health
• Triplets and Motherships stay the same

CHANGED GRADING SYSTEM

• It now depends on the sector you are playing, so playing easier sectors will make it easier to get a higher rating while harder sectors make it harder, please give me feedback on this as this is probably still buggy
• Final Boss health decreased from 20000 to 10000 per health phase (so from 100000 to 50000)
• Yellow asteroids don't give out as much grading score
• The nuke can now target the final boss
• Changed the starting setup screen
• Convince is now more expensive

Fixes

• FIXED THAT STUPID HEALING CRASH!!!!! I overhauled the entire system and I playtested it a lot so there should not be any crashes, but if there is, let me know
• Cheaters weren't flagged for cheating properly, which caused cheated leaderboards to be uploaded, that's now fixed
• Fixed crash when attempting to delete a save that doesn't exist
• Fixed issue in the tutorial where money would disappear too quickly

[ 2024-06-24 19:07:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

Release 1.0.4a

Features/Changes:

• Final Boss health decreased from 25000 to 20000 per health phase (so from 125000 to 100000)
• Grades were updated with more frames! (I will overhaul them so that they make more sense later)
• Convince is now more expensive in the shop... yes, it really is that good. I plan for this to be an utility you get late game once you start earning a lot of money so later you can buy all of the other weapons, as well it's design is to make other difficulties easier especially with items getting removed after going to the next planet
• Tier 4 convince is no longer 20000, now it's 7500
• Adjusted triplets wave to be easier
• Added a new wave type, "The Big Guns", only spawns large asteroids
• Made Earth easier
• Made Pluto easier (2000 starting money instead of 1000 and less max waves)

• Earth boss now spawns less triplets
• Chaos Wave is now rarer

Fixes

• Fixed bug where when completing a campaign it would delete all of your saves instead of the save that you were in
• Fixed charon being too long
• Fixed typos in the Asteroids ++ Store

• Possible fix with "invalid bound top inf bottom inf left inf right inf" due to being divided by 0, causing bounding boxes to be infinite, needs more testing

VERY RARE DROPS

For the first time I am releasing VERY RARE drops, GOLDEN PLANETS 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 1st drop of planets are over, these will be impossible to obtain through normal means. Good Luck!

Update on 1.0.3

Still working on it! I'm fixing many bugs and crashes and improving the experience in the game. Once I do I'll start to add more features [strike](Sandbox Mode)[/strike], but adding items to the drop pool is extremely easy to keep you guys busy until that happens.

I am extremely excited to announce that Asteroids ++, my next upcoming game is coming up on July 2024. Be sure to wishlist the game to be the very first players to try the game out!

T H E Y E A R I S 2 4 5 0

Humanity has expanded their technology and improved in Rocketry. There was nothing out of the ordinary until disaster struck! A moon one light year away exploded and has spread asteroids all over our solar system, this is where YOU come in! You play as one of the captains who will control one of the spaceships! Go from planet to planet and get rid of the Asteroids!

What to expect?

Asteroids ++ is the best Asteroids clone you will ever play in your life.

• The game currently has 12 weapons, 6 abilities and 6 utilities, each will a skill tree that the player can use to their advantage to beat those pesky asteroids!
• Conquer and beat sectors to gain control and save planets in your solar system!
• The game currently has two campaigns, Main Game and Pluto where players can save various planets and gather trophies! More will be added throughout updates!
• The game has steam achievements that the player can try and get by beating planets in campaigns
• The game has statistics that track the player, as well as leaderboards of how much money players have
• The game has an economy with droppable items with their own rarities and value
• [strike]The game has... lore??[/strike]

What is coming?

During the livespan of the game I expect to add more content and features, such as:

• Customizable Weapons (Adjust your weapon to your liking, more money spent = more powerful weapon)
• Endless Run (Compete in a leaderboard with other people)
• Campaign Editor (Make your own levels, planets and scenarios!)
• Steam Workshop Support
• Controller Support
• Local Co-OP [strike](And maybe online multiplayer)[/strike]

Keep in mind, this is a game that is free to play! So there will be upcoming DLCs (mainly OST) that support me to continue making this game. PLEASE WISHLIST THE GAME HERE WHEN IT COMES OUT! Thank you for your support!
