2025 has been key for solidifying the core mechanics of our space Roguelike. Here is a look at what we’ve been cooking up between lines of code and pixel art: 👾 Advanced Enemy AI: Implementation of Drones with patrol/chase states and Fixed Stations with independent burst-fire turrets. 💥 Arsenal & Physics: New seeker missiles mechanics with collision detection , deployable mines, and energy management for shields. 🌌 Procedural Generation: Refining the generation of asteroid fields, void zones, and dynamic positioning for bases, portals and barriers. 📟 Mission Interface: Full Radar integration for threat detection and a real-time cargo management system. Space has never been this dangerous—or this fun to program! 👾✨
We've been heads-down working on the XP Progression System! Besides squashing bugs and cleaning up code, we’re balancing exactly how XP impacts your character's evolution. We want every level-up to have real weight and consequences.
We’ve been experimenting with enemy swarms to bring the chaos! To handle it, we implemented Object Pooling so the framerate stays stable regardless of how many enemies clutter the screen
