With the release date (January 1st) of Neon Aileron rapidly approaching, we wanted to provide some updates on how the game is going. Five and a half levels are complete, with one level just needing a boss and corresponding boss soundtrack. These levels will comprise the main six levels of the game. There will be 3 additional levels that will serve as end levels for each of the pilots the player can select. We also added an Arcade mode, which will allow the player to do a quick, linear playthrough of the game without the interlevel menus and story. This adds a pace to the game that is reminiscent of old arcade games where there is more action and less downtime. Current playtime for this mode (with the six initial levels) is around 20 minutes. With the final levels added, we hope to get the playtime up to 25 minutes for the final release. To close, we wanted to share a quick screenshot from Level 6: Riverside City. Thanks for reading.
