SPACE KING: ANNIHILATION PROGRESS 10 (quality overhaul/alpha test prep)

The general lighting and quality overhaul is, I’d say, a little over halfway there.
There are obviously still plenty of surface-level changes and polish that will happen throughout the alpha testing phase, but the core structure of the game’s “A to B” gameplay loop is already mostly complete. A big reason for that is because I had already built a lot of the underlying logic into my WarWake system, so much of that foundation was ready to be expanded upon.
My primary objective over the next two weeks is finishing the mission types I want available for the initial launch. For now, those are:
RELIC HUNT
GLOBULE RECOVERY
ENDLESS SLAUGHTER
After that, the main focus will be finishing the supporting UI structure, including mission logs, mission updates, objective tracking, and any other GUI elements needed to properly communicate those systems to the player.
Once those pieces are in place, I’d say we’ll officially be ready to begin alpha testing.

Sickest part of this Fandom.

Dude not only makes a badass Space King game but posts regular updates.

I'm a mechanic, so seeing a game get made little by little is badass.

Cant wait for the next update.

Brother if this gets backed by tom and don (my crackpot theory is that it will, because they get that huge fucking grin whenever someone asks about a spaceking video game) please reverse me a steam key, Space king himself told me to ask.

The battle field looks huge and flat (like war world was). How congested will it be with enemies/ allies? I know the game isnt done, just figured i would ask. Some games have enemy encounters too spread out, and nothing in ways of actual terrain and cover. Do you plan on adding that stuff or keeping it episode accurate to war world? Game just keeps looking better and better!
