Approaching Alpha

Hi All,

A new WIP build of Astra Protocol Remake has been uploaded which brings us ever so closer to entering the alpha stage of development.

This upload features the game over / scoring screen and means that there's now a beginning and end to the game. With this small addition, it means that all the core gameplay elements are more or less in place and the next steps are going to be adding in the smaller elements (such as inventory usage and the computer voice) before we go onto gameplay tweaks and bug fixing.

Another big addition to this new version is that we've fixed a lot of the issues with the graphics and clipping. Previously, the game ran in a window because as soon as you resized anything, the logic which clipped everything went awry. We look to have fixed that now, so the game launches in full screen (toggling this in on the todo list) and should mean that the game keeps its resolution, regardless of screen size. Hopefully this will also run at a decent framerate, unlike the issues which have plagued Astra Protocol and Astra Protocol 2.

So there's still plenty to do, but we're closing in on something which should represent the final game...

Let us know your thoughts!
