Nomads Sky - Update #04
Nomads Sky » Devlog
In this update, I removed the mining functionality completely, overhauled the pickup system, changed some inputs, and added new stuff :)
FEATURE
- I added a physics area to the game. For now, there are 3 different types: Booster, Damper, and vortex.
- The "Booster" accelerates all objects inside towards a direction
- The "Damper" decelerates all objects inside.
- The "Vortex" pulls all objects towards its center and can damage objects inside. There is a static and a moving version of the vortex.
BOOSTER
DAMPER
VORTEX
OVERHAUL
- The new pickup system is completely autonomous and pickups resources that are close enough to the ship. The resources have to stay within range until the pickup process is complete.
- Mining was removed completely. Destroying asteroids with the laser and picking up resources was not that different from mining an asteroid. Because I could not find a reason why there has to be both, I removed the mining. Later I will add something similar in the form of gadgets. (Like mining drones etc.)
- Auto Dampen now is on while holding the button down and off when releasing the button
- Resources have received better animations (spawn, despawn, select, deselect)
PICKUP RESOURCES
INPUT
- There are two different modes to play the game with keyboard and mouse now. The game can either be played with a keyboard only or with a keyboard and mouse. If the keyboard and mouse option is used the ship rotates towards the mouse cursor.
- Controller: (all thrust inputs are on the left side now)
- Laser changed from LT to A
- Thrust changed from RT to LT
- Auto Dampen changed from DPad Up to LB
- Mouse:
- Mouse wheel for cycling power level
- RMB is now for thrusting
- Keyboard:
- Powerlevel cycling changed from ALT to K
- Auto Dampen changed from Q to S
Thank you for reading and until next Saturday :)
