  Bullet Hell ADVANCED: 2023 Roadmap

  Let's throw down everything going on with Bullet Hell ADANCED and the ongoing Unreal Engine 5 upgrade. Everything now compiles. The .EXE is stable and launches. Boom. We're in business. Unfortunately so many features are being added that the Unreal Engine 5 update will not be available till later this year. What we have in the pipeline for you: Solar System Mode {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32718452/c620b818abf8746f4f8d883a15ca944469131918.jpg When you're not engaged in combat at the fleet level, you'll play a turn based movement game where the minimap is an entire solar system. Heavily inspired by the Mass Effect map and the works of Robotech/Battlestar Gallactica/The Expanse/Ender's Game: Is a moon between you and another planet's long range line-of-sight fleet detection satellite with linked orbital heavy-laz-cannons? Is there a fleet behind an adjacent moon you're about to move to? Should you use scarce fuel resources to fold space to anywhere in the same solar system or use engines or silent gravitational assists? Your fleet and the enemy fleets can all receive a "Prepared", "Neutral", or "Unprepared" status when entering fleet combat based upon how everything plays out here. Being of a Prepared status lets your fleet reposition/rotate before combat and also fire anti-capital-ship weapons at round start, have all your allied AI Fighters and Frigates already deployed, FTL spun up and possibly more gameplay buffs! New Areas of Operation Feature Three Areas of Operation are now featured to separate ship to ship combat specializations. Mothership AO: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32718452/dddc107c7c6607ffed316ea3d40e2cf0d7a57e24.png The Mothership is now seen at the bottom of the gameplay area. Civilian/Colonist/Unarmed Escorts also reside here. Only Motherships can fire at other Motherships. Escorts can't be attacked. A player's entire fleet combat escort must be destroyed for the Mothership & Unarmed Escorts to come up to the fleet level and be exposed to normal weapon fire. Fleet AO...

  Fleet Formations Enabled! 5/6/2022 Patch Notes

  Fleet Formation has been programmed. When a system has been clear of hostiles, you can enter the Command Fleet Mode (default key 'M') then press the Fleet Formation button in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will enable you to change the formation of your fleet as you see fit. This feature is a prerequisite to the upcoming Shipyard systems, which will enable the player to purchase new ships for their fleet. It will also give players an edge on battles in which the fleet gains initiative. Initiative will be important for all encounters, and will be determined by the procedurally generated events the player fleet encounters, as well as soon to come systems that the player will be upgraded. Upgrading sensors, engines and recruiting more powerful psykers as crew members will increase the chances of the player gaining favorable intiative. Initiative, after stats are calculated will go to one of three different types: Ambush - The fleet has been ambushed! The enemy fleet attacks IMMEDIATELY. The player fleet must wait 10 seconds before it can return fire. Equal Engagement - Both fleets are surprised by each other, and both will open fire in 10 seconds. Favorable Battle - The player fleet takes initiative and fire IMMEDIATELY! The Enemy fleet must wait 10 seconds before returning firing and launching fighters. More to come! -Artificer Cascadia
