Hyper Ultra Astronautics 0.0.8 alpha released
After exactly one month since last release Hyper Ultra Astronautics alpha 0.0.8 is here!
The game now starts up in the menu with proper logo and intro music by DavilOne. There is a new crazy weapon called Autocannon. Menus have been rearranged a bit and QR links to mobile controller applications are provided in-game (Android only for now). Ship movement and controls have been made snappier by fixing a controller bug and slightly increasing both maximum velocity and thruster forces.
After hearing complaints that the game is too dark, I increased overall lighting intensity a bit and added monitor gamma adjustment in settings menu.
Here's full list of changes since 0.0.7 alpha:
- Fixed once active players always showing up in match results even when not playing.
