Roadmap and Survey ResultsNov 30, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDrumroll, please! Here are the raw summarized survey results of the 69 responses: Survey Result Page Winners of the giveaway will be notified by email on Dec, 02! Now let’s dive right into the new roadmap: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42333622/bc170a31a741df4e82a666bfea84feed57355b64.png Based on the Survey the new Game Mode will be Endless Mode No difficulty progression, just short rounds with different objectives. One for Action Mode and one for Expert Mode. New Community Hub Discussion to gather ideas for this mode: Discussion If we can come up with enough content, it makes sense to have two modes, and hopefully the action mode can be a good starting point for new players, because it's still hard to get into the game (Time Survival is hard, Obliteration needs progression). Huge thanks to everyone for the feedback through all channels! Without you the V1.0 would have a lot less content. The new roadmap does not mean that the sandbox mode will never make it into the game. In fact, it would be the next mode. But let's get the current roadmap implemented first! A longer word about the coming changes I read every comment and you may want to know in advance how drastically things will change. In short, please don't expect everything to change. I won't be able to remove every imperfection from the game. Some decisions are hard to change (or only with a lot of resources) and sometimes it is better to start from scratch than to change everything fundamentally and destroy things in the process that some people enjoy -> maybe a sequel makes sense? Btw. who wrote the following?: I hate and love the difficulty of this game. Please allow me to quote it on the Steam product description 😊. I really started the game to provide a challenge. But now more and more I want to make the game more accessible to everyone or go more towards a game that can be enjoyed more casually. Maybe that's partly a result of the Steam Deck release, the game is certainly not tuned for a handheld (difficulty, etc.), but the game is a natural good fit. Just to be clear, I understand there are different expectations regarding difficulty. I'm not planning to make the expert mode easier. I just want to address some balance issues with a lot of care. I am sure some of you want to hear the opposite. But I still believe that we can have hard missions and more casual missions at the same time (without having different difficulty levels for one mission -> another huge topic). So one question remains. When does it happen? Here's the bad news. With the rise of Generative AI, I have been drawn into its magic. There is a window of opportunity to create something completely unique, to break new ground, to create entirely new experiences. Driven by this new technology, I need to get some ideas out of my head and into reality. Internally the overall roadmap looks like this -> AI Engine (currently in Alpha, not on Steam) -> Project Double Helix (codename, planned for Steam release) -> Project Iron Forge (coden...Reminder and end date of the surveySep 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHappy SHMUP Fest! The survey is still open and eagerly awaiting your valuable input. Don't miss the opportunity to influence the roadmap. Simply follow the link in this Survey News Post to participate. Plus, you have a good chance of winning a key! Act fast, as the survey's final day for submissions is just around the corner, closing on October 2. The summarized results will be announced next *month, and your feedback will play a pivotal role in crafting the next roadmap. Thank you!Update 0.6.0 - Achievements, Survey, News and MoreApr 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello and Happy belated Easter, the update brings the promised first batch of Achievements (-> 34). Please let me know if there are unclear descriptions, other thoughts, bugs, or difficulties that are too overtuned.! Additionally, the explosion size of the guided missile and auto missiles got reduced. This is also a good time to thank you for your Pro Edition support! DLC sales will reach 1,000 in the next few months, which enabled me to add all the improvements and new content since the F2P release! The next update will address some backlog items like the Linux controller bug, and maybe it's a good time to add some new UI animations and do some marketing. For the new content, I need your input: Survey I'm working on a new roadmap for V1.0. This time I want to implement exactly what you want, so if possible please take max 5 min of your time to complete the following survey: Google Form Link The path to V1.0 will be heavily influenced by the results of this survey. If the survey response rate reaches a certain level, I'll give you a detailed summary. I'll give away at least 10 keys for my new game -> Arcane Warlords Note: Winners will be notified when the survey ends (no end date set yet). Keys will be mailed during launch week. How to participate You'll get the instructions after submitting the survey form. The keys will be sent via email, so you'll need your Steam Name and email address to participate. Adding the game to your wishlist is always highly appreciated! Besides the obvious Steam algorithm reason, is that the number is really crucial for making investment decisions (time, art to buy, timeline). Thank You and happy achievement hunting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42333622/6b75095762991f811fa7ac18eae3699d8611faa2.gif Update 0.5.0 - Mission Bullet HellFeb 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog New Expert Mission: Bullet Hell Short-Session Game Mode similar to Aurora Requires Energy Core 4 New and Old Time Survival Enemies Quicker Time to Action High-Speed A word of warning: This mission isn't about destruction, it's about pure survival (not like Obliteration and Aurora). The Red Orbs return and hopefully, the new Active System will help you show them who's in control. If you want more destruction mayhem, no worries, the next content updates will be more community-driven -> Stay tuned for the survey! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42333622/02d8948f569e1c439758b14b31f72c0a76689a62.gif Additional Changes New Active System: Electrokinetic Cannon Player Ship Floating Damage Number Hotfix 0.4.0.1: Neverending Aurora Mission Round Hotfix 0.4.0.2: Related to Doomsday Explosions What's Next?

I'm convinced they can enrich the game by giving some cool objectives to play differently than normal (Survive 3 min in Obliteration with 4 Doomsday Mk I :) ). I think the max difficulty should be sth. like the Core4 unlock in Expert Mode.

Now that the new mission is live, I finally have time to work on the backlog again (based on your feedback) -> E.g. next updates will include the promised improvements around the Time Survival XP globes. After the next stabilization phase I'll continue to add new systems and smaller-scoped missions. Happy Holidays!
