Kubifaktorium

After working on it for about a year, I am announcing Kubifaktorium, my next game! If you enjoy building, growing and managing a colony, then the game might be for you. It will feature different biomes to explore, plenty of resources to exploit and interesting production chains to master. If you are interested, you can find a first teaser trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18J3O9-i824 The best way to keep up-to-date with the game's development is its Facebook-page, where I add 1-2 posts every week: https://www.facebook.com/Kubifaktorium/ I would be happy to meet some BossConstructors there. :)

Bonus DLC 3

In other news, I am currently collecting ideas for the free Bonus DLC 3 which I will work on later this summer. If you have ideas you want to see implemented, there is still time to post them here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/330100/discussions/0/1692669912383486452/

Free Bonus DLC 2 adds the Bussard Ramjet and more!

3131d ago

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/330100/header.jpg The free bonus DLC 2, which consists of the patches 195-198, adds a new module and advanced galaxy customization to the game!

Bussard Ramjet

The Bussard Ramjet generates a large amount of energy whenever your ship is inside a space nebula. When combined with batteries, this allows you to build light-weight fighter ships, which are fast and maneuverable. Until they run out of juice. :) http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7090902/fe18dd8fd0652e66b923e94b237189dbfd465c75.png

Galaxy Customization

The exploration mode has been expanded to offer more advanced settings. You can change the galaxy shape, the number of wormholes, the number of connections between stars and more. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7090902/6586251d0d9a5a2277c51c7d9aead59a0f1e1ed8.png

Ship Design Rule Change

You can now place modules directly in front of weapons (if you choose to ignore the warninge). While not a clever idea in general, this change greatly enhances what you can do with the joint and piston modules. Alternatively, you can opt to build a second layer of backup weapons for when your ship's outer layer gets destroyed. Maybe there are other uses as well. :)

Other news

This is the second of a total of three bonus DLCs. The final bonus DLC will add even more modules and maybe a few new gameplay mechanics and tweaks to the game. Please let me know what you would like to see! In other news, please look forward to other game related announcements coming from me some time Q2-Q3 2018. :)

Patch 197: Bussard Ramjet and Miscellaneous [beta]

BossConstructorsteam_community_announcementspatchnotesauto_migratedhide_library_overviewhide_library_detail

3300d ago

- Added the Bussard ramjet which generates a large amount of energy when your ship is inside a space nebula. Together with batteries, this can be quite useful. Let me know your thoughts regarding the balancing! :) - Adjusted the nebula spawning mechanism to make sure that nebulae spawn in most sectors. - Placing modules in front of weapons is no longer forbidden. The weapons will show a warning but you can ignore it. This enhances what you can do with joints and pistons. - Reduced the number of ships which can spawn in the von Neumann missions from 10 to 5. Also, the search range in the ship selection algorithm now expands way faster. These changes should reduce the slowdowns/freezes encountered by some players. To keep the difficulty sort of constant, two extra waves are added. - Shots fired by the missile launcher array no longer spread as strongly to the side. - Addressed freezes related to large previous log files.

It's been a while but here is a new patch which brings a couple of improvements. Next, I will begin working on DLC 2, so expect to see some new content soonish. :) - Laser and disintegrator beams now pass through ore crystals. - Increased the cost of the disintegrator charger module. - Editing a ship now forces a refresh of the skirmish mode ship list. - Repair bot and replicator conversion rates are now capped at 2x. - Fixed mini armor stacking with regular size armor. - Fixed PDPS calculation in relation to the explosive charge. - Fixed potentially buggy interaction between nano armor and aug module.

3402d ago

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/330100/header.jpg The free bonus DLC 1, which consists of the patches 187-194, adds two new modules as well as a number of gameplay and UI improvements to the game!

Disintegrator Beam

The disintegrator beam consists of an emitter module and one or more charger modules. While a ship part can only host one emitter module, you can add multiple charger modules to turn your disintegrator beam into the ultimate weapon of destruction. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1756025/static/bcdisintegrators.jpg

Augmentation Module

The augmentation module is a utility module which transfers its own attribute effect to a connected module.

New Features and Gameplay Improvements

- You can now set weapons and other modules to 'auto-fire'. - Missiles now use proportional navigation. - When you destroy all ships in a sector, all the remaining collectable items are automatically collected. - You can now change the game speed to slow the game down to 50%. - Numerous other balance tweaks and bug fixes.

UI-Improvements

- Modules of the same type/attribute now stack in the inventory. - Added a "sell all"-button to the module trader. - You can now select workshop ships when starting an exploration game. - You can now switch between the different graphical versions of a module (e.g. armor modules). - In the tech lab you can now also upgrade modules that are currently on your ship.

Note

This is the first of a total of 3 free bonus DLCs. The upcoming DLCs will add more modules as well as a few new gameplay mechanics to the game. If you haven't played the game yet, please have a look! :)

So, now that BossConstructor has been released, let me tell you a bit about my plans regarding BossConstructor for this year: 1) As promised, there will be 3 free bonus DLCs which will add a few often-demanded new features. And while I do not have a specific schedule for making these, I will begin working on the first one soon. The first DLC will include 2 new modules as well as a feature which will allow you to set weapons and other modules to auto-fire. 2) I will also do another development live stream on Twitch. It will be on Sunday the 15th of January at 6 PM GMT / 7 PM CET. You can watch it on twitch.tv/bossconstructor. While I haven't done any streams lately due to time constraints and technical problems, I look forward to do some more! 3) In other news, I've been on the Space Game Junkie podcast a few weeks ago. Its about one hour long and covers the game's development process as well as some technical aspects. If you're interested, you can find the recording here: https://www.spacegamejunkie.com/podcasts/sgj-podcast-183-bossconstructor/ I hope you're having a great time! :) Cheers, Mirko

Happy New Year!

3552d ago

New features: - Modules of the same type/attribute now stack in the inventory. - Set weapons & other modules to 'auto-fire'.

3556d ago

Changes: - Picking up modules when having a 'full inventory' should be less laggy now. - The point defense module now targets torpedoes. They still explode, but the increased distance from your ship reduces the damage they do. - Increased the name plate's hitpoints to make it an aesthetic substitute for titan armor plates. - Replaced "GWs" with "GJ" based on Arumba's suggestion. - Replaced PinWheel boss with a nerfed version. Thanks Puppet #7! - Naming your ship Boss... no longer automatically makes it a boss ship (you need to add the boss AI CC). - Your interceptors should no longer damage your own ship. - Made the hitpoint overlay colors mote diverse. Fixes: - The laser should now hit stuff directly in front of it. - When visiting shops on the galaxy map multiple times modules you bought no longer reappear. - Changing the module variation should no longer void the module's attributes. - Tweaked the camera movement a bit. - Fixed a layout error regarding the hacking module warning. - The UI should now update after undoing/redoing.
