Version 0.3.1 Release (Happy Holidays! 🥳)


Last One Flying - Version 0.3.1 Release

I've spent the the past two months figuring out the best environment for me to be most productive. It turns out, I work best anywhere outside of my own home ðŸ˜†. 

So expect more frequent releases and a higher chance of seeing me in person!

Try out the latest changes to the game now!

What's New?

Updated HUD

The status information displayed on the top of the screen has been completely redesigned! Take a look:

After (Version 0.3.1)

Note: The design of the health indicator section of the HUD was inspired by Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo: Combat Evolved - Health and Shield Indicators from the in-game HUD (2001)
Halo: Combat Evolved - Health and Shield Indicators from the in-game HUD (2001)
Last One Flying - Health Indicator from the in-game HUD (2024)
Last One Flying - Health Indicator from the in-game HUD (2024)

I also added a feature where the if you have one life remaining, the last remaining health point will flash repeatedly, make you aware that you only have one more chance left before the game is over!:

Looping clip showing player losing a life, then going down from 2 health points to 1 health point. The last remaining health point in the health indicator starts to flash then gets removed completely when the player eventually loses a life again.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • HUD is now involved in screen shakes
  • Players can no longer shoot between the period of losing a life and respawning
  • When the game ends, time is given for the explosions to finish before resetting the game
  • Fixed issue where collisions continued to occur in the period between the end of the game and the start of a new game

What's Next?

  • Main Menu
  • Game Logo
  • Fix enemy spawning behaviour
  • Differentiate enemy laser beams from player laser beams
