Today's update comes as a result of a few requests from last night, which I found to be pretty legit. So let's explore what we have:

Detailed Graphics Settings

I know I just added the "MAX" profile yesterday, but now we have another one: CUSTOM. There are plenty of players that have requested the ability to tweak these settings individually so here you go, but for the rest that don't want to bother, the old graphics profiles are still there. If you select a different profile, the custom settings are ignored, but are still saved in your save file so that if you switch back to custom, your customizations are still saved.

Life lost indicator

There is now a small, satisfying animation that triggers when you smack into something and consume a shield. The camera shakes and the bloom goes really bright for a split-second (if you have bloom turned on that is, otherwise you just get the camera shake). You can turn it off in the options menu if it's not to your liking, but it is turned on by default.

Fixes

- Camera changes field of view when you accelerate your ship again. - Fixed some achievements that ware not triggering as expected. - Fixed an issue where the game was spamming the log unnecessarily with messages. P.S. I'm going to start working on some colourblind pre-made colour profiles for pepes with this issue. I'm not colour blind myself so it feels a little bit like making decisions that I shouldn't be making. If anyone has any resources that I could read so I can understand this problem better and help me implement correctly HMU in the comments. P.P.S. Tomorrow's a big day where I'm going to announce something big and it will be the first of a few bigger announcements of things that are going to happen in the next two months, so stay tuned!

Vecter is a fast-paced runner and shooter game where your goal is to survive by the skin of your teeth and raise hell in your path. You get in your ship, you push the throttle on max and then try to survive for as long as possible by annihilating anything that gets in your way.

There are obstacles, there are enemies, there are power-ups and there will be plenty more to come! I hope you're good at staring contests because you will not have the luxury of blinking!

Compete with your friends and with strangers for the top spot of the daily leaderboard. If you're top dog for that day, you remain top dog for that day on that track forever! It's all you, you did it!

And you don't need to be in-game to show off your position, you can also take it to your friends house and brag about your greatness while everyone is awkwardly ignoring you for boasting about something nobody's even heard about. Here's the link in case you need it



One important thing to note is that Vecter does not have a road-map, or a planed out future. There is a trello board with features that I plan on implementing and the feature request channel on the Vecter discord server.

I'm a one-man dev team, and I'm making this game purely out of passion around all of my other IRL commitments, so development sometimes may be slow. It's a hobby and a damn fun one at that but at this stage it's still just a hobby.

Among other things I'm also making an arcade version of vecter complete with it's own cabinet.
