Time for the 3AM Roundup! What was I doing all evening??.. hmm..
So, finally, these RocketBoards are ROCKETBoards! No more put-put'n around on the ground, no no no!
I've completed the currency circle and now you can exchange your shiny golden rings for some airBoost Fuel!
1ring = 1 second of fuel. You can hold 100 seconds worth at a time, recharge whenever by clicking on the Rocket Shop menu item!(even while playing) This allows you to use your rocket thrusters while in the air, like every true RocketBoard should do. So, now instead of a few hundred meters on a jump from the plateau, I'm reaching 1000+ on a straight shot with lots of speed. It's so much fun. The race courses are a whole other experience like this. (Still no npcs to race with yet, it's next I swear!!)
SlingBot Boarding v0.2.2: https://www.kongregate.com/games/WilliamOlyOlson/slingbot-boarding
I've also put some significant work into more/better sound effects, spent some time in Audacity making some permanent remixes since I'm having trouble with applying effects in Unity, this way should be better for performance anyhow.
Also spent several hours on the UI, fixing things up and making them nicer to look at(hopefully).. haha
What else, mmm.. airBoost rockets, UI upgrades, Rocket Shop menu...
Testing the last build... fingers crossed!!!!
Ahhh Yeah! There's the money shot!
Enjoy!
Finally got around to playing it. I liked the exciter graphics. I couldn't get the rockets to work. The tracks worked great this time.
