Stellar Fury Alpha 0.11 Release Notes


Stellar Fury Alpha 0.11 Release notes:

Bug fixes:

  • Game HUD not initializing after beating the demo levels and relaunching the game
  • Player spawns at the top of the screen
  • Player spawns twice when restarting the level (Needs validation: this issue is not present on development computers)
  • Ship not selectable with thumbsticks (d-pad and keyboard only)
  • Pause menu defocus buttons if clicked
  • Score set to zero if player continues and proceeds to next level. Score will be whatever the score was when the player spent their last live on their first credit
  • Enemy #8 (present in level 2) fired off screen
  • Destroyable items on bosses that drop points would occasionally drop multiple items.

Modifications:

  • Player hitbox size decreased and moved to around the middle of the sprite.
  • Enemy ship color schemes redesigned. 
  • Enemy bullet colors changed
  • Aimed/homing and fast bullets are now a different color
  • Changed enemy rocket graphic to be more visible
  • Change camera pan function to move at a static rate instead of a lerp function.
  • Moved secondary attack to a separate key 
  • Added an autofire key for the primary attack
  • Added application icon
  • Decreased live object area so bullets are immediately despawned once leaving the screen. This should prevent bullets from leaving the screen and reentering (namely homing shots)
  • Changed high score screen music
  • Renamed "Novice" to "Normal" and "Normal" to "Hard". Actual difficulty of respective modes remains unchanged.
  • Proceeding to the next level after beating a level happens more quickly (and automatically)
  • Slightly increases the fall rate of pickups

New Features:

  • Enabled bullet configuration screen
  • Enabled background configuration screen
  • Resolution is now configurable. Only supports 16:9 resolutions
  • Windowed mode is now supported.

Known Issues:

  • Resolution options sometimes populate multiple times in the dropdown
  • New actions (Secondary fire and Auto fire) might be unmapped if played a previous version of Stellar Fury. Click "Restore Defaults" to resolve.
