Sky Rogue is now available on Xbox One!
1.2 RELEASED!
Get it here:
The WARP feature was developed based on user feedback and as you might notice is a fairly standard feature now in a lot of rogue-lite / roguelike games. The pacing of Sky Rogue’s gameplay is not as fast as certain other rogue-lites, so the time spent playing through Days 1-4 for the umpteenth time (for example) just to get to missions that match your skill level wasn’t trivial. We hope this makes the game much more replayable for longtime as well as new players.
Please tell us if you think the tech point cost is balanced correctly; longtime players probably have a huge bank of them and won’t have any trouble, but it’s harder for us to get opinions from new players still researching techs, when the price will have some meaning to it.
Changelog:
=====================================
NEW STUFF:
- WARP MENU: If you have reached a new island biome (Day 5 or beyond), you can now spend tech points to start a new run at a later island
- TENGU Experimental Swing-Wing: unlockable after beating the game
- BRONCO Warbird: a propeller-driven aero which is able to mount two weapons per weapon mount
- DRONE-L Trebuchet: a special which will launch drone wingmen. This was present in some much older builds but needed some bugfixes for the wingmen AI.
- The title screen will randomly choose a biome which you’ve unlocked
- Added Aeropedia descriptions to a few advanced weapons
CHANGES:
- You can now hold down both Yaw directions (LB and RB on an Xbox controller) for a short while to zoom
- “Gun Camera” option is now on by default (this will only affect new players)
- Physics timestep increased from 50fps to 60fps for better game feel
- Enemies with guided weapons will not be as aggressive if you’ve already got missiles heading towards you
- GB-1 Yumi is now fire-and-forget, does a better job tracking moving targets
- TORPEDO blasts has been given an area of effect
