Hello again pilots!

Finally the update I've been talking about. Steam Deck support. It has taken some time to arrive but I will take advantage of the spring release to make the 1.5 update that not only includes Steam Deck support. Finally, stalkers are active on the map again. Be careful now if you go uranium mining because they will be waiting to hunt you down. Mayhem mode is now much more challenging than before. The enemy spawn system has been improved so they don't take as long to get to you (I'll probably have to make progression adjustments later). Made a few tweaks to spawn times and fixed a few things that you'll see in the patch notes.

Patch Notes

* Hunter Stalker active again in search of uranium. * Mayhem mode is now much more challenging. * Option to sell all inventory items - shop. * Autoaim is now configurable from the options menu. * Increased turn speed during autoaim.

Bug-fixes

* FIX: problem when opening smuggler window with controllers.

Hello pilots!

We continue with updates on the development of Space Battle. Currently I'm still working on the Nintendo Switch & Steam Deck port. That's why I recently made a video for the youtube channel. [previewyoutube=X9PuDXSJXZ8;full][/previewyoutube] Important! For all players on all platforms I will be using google sites as a container for patch notes. https://sites.google.com/view/adrian-corbalan/space-battle I will update the release date for Steam Deck soon, as well as put a discount for Space Battle, see you soon!

Hello again pilots! Thanks to some colleagues, I have detected that in Linux and Steam Deck, Space Battle did not appear correctly to download and only came out with 0B. After analyzing the problem I have corrected it and it should be ready to enjoy on both platforms. If you experience any issues, please report them in the Steam Discussions.

Hello hello pilots!

Finally the surprise is out. Space Battle will be released on Nintendo Switch on April 1st, 2025. That's why the last updates were in forced steps and without big changes to avoid friction. I'll leave the link to various eShop locations but it should be available everywhere by now. Obviously after the release of Nintendo Switch 2 I hope we won't have problems adapting to more firepower. Note the date and I hope you can enjoy it on the first portable!

Hello again pilots!

I'm really happy with the state of the game at the end of the year. The evolution of the game has been remarkable and everything was easy, just filling in the gaps that I planned one day. I wanted to prepare changes that affect the gameplay to finally make it a complicated experience. In the end the Invasion system is the final transition of an idea that has been evolving for a long time. The invasion system will add the final difficulty needed to take action in the short term or you will be defeated in a very short time. With the invasion mode I begin to bring Space Battle full circle, all these updates have been closing chapters of handwritten features one day and there are few left. I hope you enjoy another great update and start this year with a bang!

Patch Notes

* INVASION system. * Dragon turrets with new sprites ready. * Traditional Chinese. * Incremental tiers per kill system applied to turrets, the more times you destroy it, the stronger it gets. * Station can be repaired in blocks of 100 and not all at once. * Enemy ships are more efficient. * Added tier 3 stations. * Modified time values to 120 and 30 again (very slow gameplay).

Bug-fixes

* FIX: Problem when exiting with boss enemy bars. * FIX: Station life buy button can now be pressed multiple times. * FIX: Fixed UI bug with life and shield values. * FIX: Some sounds were not heard correctly. * FIX: Improved enemy detection system (before it didn't detect shots).

Hello pilots! A little update for the Steam Autumn sales this time! I'm still working on an interesting update but wanted to do something for the sales.

Patch Notes

* Update to Unity 6 LTS. * New space background (Shader). * New system to locate the main station. * New particle system for stars. * Internal battles for minerals (Stalkers Zones). * Uranium back to the map (Sector 101). * Modify the color minerals in the minimap.

Bug-fixes

* Fixes related to the controllers. * Fixes for not showing the station UI when changing game mode.

[ 2024-11-27 11:12:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello pilots! Another new update. Although I haven't been able to add a lot of things.... I'll make a pretty important announcement soon, for now I can only say that I'm working on a side mission. The main thing is that you can now upgrade your ship from the main station. It still needs some balancing... And I'm probably going to modify its location, but it's fun to see how it works. Several problems with the controllers have been solved. I keep improving the enemy AI although it is still a bit slow. I have added a new sector with more elements and a new smuggler.

Patch Notes

* Progression for the player: purchase of upgrades in main station. * AI Brain to improve the intelligence of the ships. * Sector 39 introduced and NECO the collector. * Localization for several levels. * Portals have the name of the sector you travel to. * New turrets (Dual and Guided Cannons). * Life main station in HUD.

Bug-fixes

* Loss of all the credits in the beacons. * Minor bug fixes on controllers.

Greetings! It's time to start new adventures and start new projects. For some time now I've been working on Mars Clicker, a new game similar to Cookies Clicker but in space. For now there are many details to finish but little by little I will be uploading to social networks and Steam the updates of the development. For now we have the page ready to make wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3272970/Mars_Clicker/ The game has a target date of late 2025, a long way to go, but there are still updates for Space Battle planned and a few more surprises on the way. The latest update including driver portability is just the beginning! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1309140/view/4540282858486642447?l=english

[ 2024-10-21 07:10:42 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello pilots! And this time a new update to work on that accessibility. The controllers is something I've been working on little by little but until now I haven't dedicated time to improve all the systems and have a good support. I will be making adjustments during the rest of the month, but this is the main work so far.

Patch Notes

* Xbox Controller & Gamepads support. * Revised Zoom IN/OUT. * Increased safe time range from 120s - 180s (up to 3 minutes) - Normal Mode. * Increased alert time range (30s-60s) - Normal Mode. * In-game controls help (can be hidden from options). - Hints. * Added configuration needed to move Universal Windows Platform.

Hello pilots! A new version just out of the oven. After the release of 1.0, I wanted to implement several pending adjustments that, due to lack of time, I couldn't add before. The smugglers are an element that has been in and out of the game until now. You will finally be able to trade in other sectors; for now they only offer new weapons, but over time they will have special discounts on various items.
- TIER 1,2,3,4 and 5 weapons added. Higher TIER weapons are to be found in distant sectors.
I've also added the precious rocks - we don't know what they're for yet, but they're there. Enemy stations now have a health bar at the top to make it easier to see how much health they have left.

Patch Notes

*Smugglers added. *New weapons as initial player progression Gun (Tier 2, 3, 4, 5), Laser (Tier 2, 3, 4, 5). *RYNO is no longer available in central sector. *Added life bar (final boss) to enemy stations. *Adjusted sector 13 portal price. *Modified main station UI. *Modified colliders main station. *Inventory shows TIER of items and if they are equipped. *Added game mode description to main menu. *Stones added to loot (don't know what for yet, but there are stones). *Modified player propellant.

Bug-fixes

*Fixed major issue when equipping weapons. *Fixed major issue with going through portals removing all your credits.

[ 2024-08-10 06:58:41 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hellooo Pilots! It's been an interesting few months with the development of Space Battle and other goodies in the pipeline. After the release of the DLC and after much reflection, Space Battle will undergo a pivot in its initial approach. The game will no longer be free to play. The main reason for this is because the game has evolved a lot since its inception and although it resists to die, there is still a long way to go to continue updating and improving the game. By this I mean that in the following months the game will continue to receive updates with content as well as the next update will include the portals between sectors, later I plan to finish the smugglers and some other surprises. Some of the updates will be evaluated depending on the audience and obviously your opinion. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1309140/Space_Battle/ A demo will be uploaded soon so that everyone can enjoy (for a limited time) the content of the game, this way it will be possible to continue to enjoy the game in a certain way. Another factor to keep in mind is that you will have seen some movement on other platforms. These are going to get the same treatment as on Steam. All content will be uploaded in parallel so it will be up to you to decide where to play. As always you have the community and social media to react and comment. I'll be posting mainly from the Steam community and Twitter (aka X). https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/spacebattle-d27e87 Thanks to all those players who have been with Space Battle since the beginning.

Something is moving in deep space and you don't have your space station to help you anymore... The Mayhem DLC adds a new Bullet Hell style game mode where you will have to endure as many waves as possible. It was planned for release on June 10th but I'd rather have feedback soon so I can work out the kinks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2808620/Space_Battle__Mayhem/ There are still some details to polish and improvements that will be applied to the base game as well as the DLC. I don't want to publish a roadmap with all the changes but I can say that soon the game will be available in the EPIC GAMES STORE and I will be busy making the necessary modifications as well as upgrading to Unity 6, so patches will be common. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/spacebattle-d27e87 Although I mention it in the DLC description itself I will mention again that purchasing the DLC is completely optional. I wanted to investigate the process involved in making DLC, the technical and bureaucratic aspects. On the other hand, it is impossible to improve the content of indie games without funding, so with the purchase of the DLC you are helping to maintain the game and future games, which I anticipate, there are little things prepared, once again thanks for joining me in the space adventures. - Adrin Corbaln Patch notes *Mayhem game mode available as additional content. *Frances in game support. *Revamped main game mode UI. *Vsync and frame limit added to settings. *Added options: Vsync, frame limit, resolution, fullscreen. *Enemy progression system by tiers active. *Shield loot. *Modified icons for items (Credits, Ammo, Health, Health, Shields). *Permanent death mode active again. *Upgrade to Unity 2023.3.3f1. *Confirmation windows. *Bug fixes.

[previewyoutube=AXND44Pe0jw;full][/previewyoutube] This time a short devlog. I havent uploaded any version yet because Im working from the ground up again to get some really cool stuff, but, I have something interesting. The use of shields will now be available on enemies. Depending on the level, they will have more chances to use it.

We continue to make significant modifications in preparation for the launch of the Mayhem DLC. IMPORTANT First, I must announce that your saved content will be "compromised" and I need to delete old content. I am currently not using the saved games for anything, but I hope to get the system active soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2808620/Space_Battle__Mayhem/ Patch Notes:

• Direct link in the menu to download additional content.
• Numerical values on the HUD to display health.
• New indicator on the HUD to locate enemy stations.
• Groundwork preparation for managing achievements.
• Bug fixes (Tutorial).

Hello folks! Another small release in sight, I've named it "Basic Update" because I've worked on the low level of the game to make sure it's easier to work on the gameplay. I've added support for German and Russian and opened the door to play with a controller. It's not 100% functional yet but it's still playable. I will prepare a release just for that section. The DLC development is going well and I have almost all the features ready to enjoy a decent wave system. I leave a link for all those who want to collaborate with the development to contribute with their grain of sand! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2808620/Space_Battle__Mayhem/ Abbreviated Patch Notes:

• Russian and German support.
• New asteroid field system.
• Partial Xbox, Gamepad support.
• Multiple bug fixes

Patch Notes:

• Localization, localization everywhere
• Loot boxes and repair boxes!

• Improved shooting points to enable double cannons
• Solved issue with new score panel - now handles translation correctly

Finally a "major" update for Space Battle! After the announcement of this year's roadmap, many internal modifications have been made to be up to date with this Patch 0.7. Among them upgrading to the latest version of Unity 2023 has delayed the release a bit. I will support several languages that I have seen a higher volume of users although not all of them are 100% confirmed translations, I have used third-party tools for this. On the other hand already available for wishlist the DLC - MAYHEM which will include a new game mode, release expected for June 2024. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2808620/Space_Battle__Mayhem/ Patch Notes:

• Unity engine upgraded to Unity 2023
• Multiple localization fixes, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified) support (not fully yet)
• Audio sliders to handle general, effects and music (even in game)
• Created a whole new menu system to handle multiple maps
• Disabled achievements for now
• New enemy ships and stations
• Multiple bug-fixes

Hello there! It's been almost 4 years since the launch and many features and bugs have been forgotten since then. After a long time thinking about what to do with Space Battle, I bring news, so to speak a little roadmap for this year 2024. During the following months Space Battle will receive a series of free updates to improve the content of the game. As well as fixing issues reported by the community. On the other hand, I want to announce the release of a DLC, I don't have an estimated release date yet but I do want to say that it will contain a new game mode and new enemies. The additional content will be paid to support the development of the game and to acquire better tools and assets to continue developing future projects (depending on the release I will study the feasibility of adapting Space Battle to STEAM DECK and controllers). Also announce that you already have available the new link to follow me on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/developer/AdrianCorbalan Sincerely, Adrin Corbaln.
