Update 0.5.3 Gates
The Gates update brings teleportation gates that allow you to jump to another place in the world. Also, there is a new Mesa biome with mysterious black holes. How to enter it, and what lies on the other side?
This update is the first stepping stone of this year of development. It does not change the game drastically but adds a bit of extra content. The teleportation system will be expanded in the future, likely requiring the player to obtain specific resources to use. Still, since I wanted everyone to experience it, I did not complicate it any further.
List of new features:
1. Teleportation gates
2. Mesa biome (requires a fitting alien type in the future)
3. Black holes appearing in the Mesa biome
4. New weapon received through black holes
5. Difficulty options when creating a new game
List changes:
1. Swarm respawning temporarily disabled (due to being annoying)
Fixed bugs:
1. Various crashes caused by enemy targets becoming invalid
There might be more changes not listed here, but I have forgotten them since they were implemented a while ago.
With this update done, I will begin breaking up the game loop, trying to make it more purposeful and rewarding.
Thank you!
