「雀球ぽん」はこの1週間、以下の開発に取り組んでいました。

• バランス調整
  
• デバッグ

今回が開発状況の公開の最後の記事となります。5/1のリリースをお待ちください。

The player will now see who has the next score to beat on the leaderboard, their score and also how many points away from reaching that next rank score they are during play. This change should hopefully incentivise players to push on for higher scores (beating their friends and other players) and is available on both the campaign and gauntlet mode. This also works for Player 2 in game.


Many new backgrounds have been added to the Gauntlet Mode. Because the mode is procedural and therefore endless, I thought it would be nice to add further backgrounds to this game mode. Over 1GB of textures have now been added to the game as a result but I hope players appreciate my attempt to make the mode feel fresh if they've already completed the regular campaign mode.


Have fixed a long standing bug where some bullets would not be fired at the player correctly by some enemies / bosses. As a result level 4 and level 5 may be slightly more difficult but the gameplay is now as intended when I developed those levels.


I hope you the players appreciate the time and effort that goes into making a video game. I've tried to create a game that's enjoyable, accessible and also competitive and i'm certainly not done tweaking the game. I plan to reward players on higher difficulty modes with access to more bonus points etc so that these elite players emerge higher on the global leaderboards (as they should do).

If you've enjoyed the game a review and recommendation really helps us solo indie developers and I would very much appreciate the support. It's a few clicks and a few kind words, if you can spare them it really does help me to keep motivated.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks my fellow Astro Fighters

Hi, everyone. The living test of our new mod system is a success!
We can now directly dump any mod contained in their folders into the game's Mod folder to use those mods directly. No need for Steam, no need for the Workshop.
As mentioned in the Developer's Diary yesterday.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1519140/view/507326880609730897
If you cannot see it appear in your library, it's likely that Steam may have censored it.

According to the Steam document, it should only take them 30 minutes to 1 hour to make it show in your library. Yet, it has been about 24 hours.
That's my point exactly. Big platforms may censor content they don't like. The power they hold may corrupt. Just like Neuxs in their ignorance, arrogance, and racism, to ban the Chinese mod developers for using "male" and "female" in The Elder Scrolls 4's localization mods. We didn't get involved in this culture war, yet they come to destroy our culture and tradition. So we shall fight back. For freedom, for liberty, and for everyone's right to use "male" and "female!"

Thus, today, I announce our cooperation with another mod platform that is more in line with our values.
From now on, you can find our mods here:
To%20the%20End]DegMods



You can post all your mods there, no matter how politically incorrect they are. In East Asian, many developers, including me, do not believe in that politically correct nonsense. Games, especially single-player games, are yours to play, yours to enjoy; you shall be able to share your local copy with whatever you want. I am also experimenting with a bot that allows people to post mods anonymously as an additional layer of protection.

There are no more restrictions. :)
Not even the Great Firewall that blocks the Steam Workshop currently blocks this mod site.

大家好！我们新Mod系统的线上测试大获成功！
我们现在可以直接将任何模组文件夹中的内容放入游戏的Mod文件夹中，以直接使用这些模组。无需使用Steam，也无需通过工坊。
正如昨天开发者日记中所提到的：
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1519140/view/507326880609730897
如果你的Steam库中没有显示该内容，可能是Steam对其进行了审查。

根据Steam的文档，他们应该在30分钟到1小时内让它显示在你的库中。然而，已经过去了大约24小时。
这正是我要说的。大平台可能会审查他们不喜欢的内容。他们手中的权力可能会导致腐败。就像Nexus那样，出于无知、傲慢和种族主义，禁止中国模组开发者在《上古卷轴4》的本地化模组中使用“男”和“女”。我们并未卷入这场文化战争，但他们却来摧毁我们的文化和传统。所以我们将反击！为了自由，为了个人权利，为了每个人使用“男”和“女”的权利！
因此，今天我宣布我们与另一个更符合我们价值观的Mod平台合作。
从现在起，你们可以在这里找到我们的模组：
To%20the%20End]DegMods

你可以将所有模组发布到那里，无论它们在政治上有多不正确。在东亚，包括我在内的许多开发者并不相信那些政治正确的废话。游戏，尤其是单机游戏，是属于你玩、属于你享受的；你应该能够自由分享你的本地副本，想用什么就用什么。我还在试验一个允许人们匿名发布模组的机器人，作为额外的保护层。
再也没有限制了！:)
就连是正在封锁Steam工坊的防火长城，现在也还没封锁这个网站。

Hello! It’s Jon from Runner Duck here. Badlands Crew is out next week, 28th April! Thank you for all your support so far. It’s been a big project for us, and we’re really excited that you’ll all finally be able to play it!

As it’s now close to the game’s release, I thought we should write a different kind of news post, and give you a few little tips and tricks which will help you out along your way in the Badlands.

One of the new features in Badlands Crew is the middle-click shortcut menu. With a crew member selected, middle click somewhere on the screen. The shortcut popup menu will appear. It has shortcuts for common actions, such as sending crew to other stations, attacking enemy boarders, or repairing broken systems. This is a great way to quickly do common actions (e.g. sending a crew member to a rejuvenator to heal, or quickly sending someone to repair the engine).

The middle-click shortcut menu

This works especially well for Badlands Crew, as unlike our previous games, your vehicle may have multiple rejuvenators, and loads of turrets. Don’t forget to try it out, and hopefully it’ll bring your command of your crew to a new level!

We’ve had a lot of back and forth on what the default keyboard controls should be. We’ve set them to what we think will be the most consistent throughout the title, and give you the best chance of survival long-term. However, some players will probably prefer to remap their vehicle nudge/speed adjustment inputs to WASD. This is fine! Please do this if you find it easier or more natural.

The control rebinding options

Control rebinding options can be found in the options menu. There are also options for axis inversion.

Things can get intense quickly in the Badlands. If things aren’t going so well, you can use ‘Slow Time’ to give yourself a bit of time to get all your problems sorted. By default ‘Slow Time’ is bound to the Shift key.

The ‘Slow Time’ shortcut (Top-Left Corner of the UI)

Don’t forget to use ‘Slow Time’ - it really can give you the time you need to save your crew and your Battle Wagon.

There’s nothing worse than running out of fuel in the middle of the Badlands. I would recommend adding an ‘auxiliary fuel tank’ to your vehicle as soon as you unlock it. As the game progresses, and you are able to, I’d recommend adding a couple more!

Don’t get eaten by a sandworm. If your vehicle sits idle for too long, there’s a chance a sandworm will snap it up. Repair your engine, get someone in the driving seat, and get moving!

A sandworm about to eat a Battle Wagon

If you start seeing a sandworm rising up from the ground around you… stay calm, and try to escape through the gaps!

If you’re not using your crew’s Abilities, you’re not getting the most out of them! It can be easy to forget you have them in the heat of battle, so use ‘Slow Time’ too if you need to! Using your crew’s Abilities strategically can make the difference between success and failure!

The ‘Swerve’ ability being used

If things are intense, get your driver to use ‘Swerve’ - enemies will have a harder time aiming at you, and this can buy you some time…

There’s loads to discover in the Badlands. Crew at your Command Station can be used to spot Optional Objectives. Of course, be careful not to get in over your head - if you’re low on fuel, or your crew are in poor health, then perhaps it’s best to stay on mission!

A cache bunker containing some blueprints

Finding relics around the Badlands will reward you with additional Blueprints, giving you more options for your Battle Wagon and your crew’s gear.

If it looks like you’re not going to get back to base in one piece, but you want to save some of your crew: use an Escape Device. It’s not always worth battling on - escape, and live to fight another day! Unlike Bomber Crew, crewmates who use an Escape Device will always survive (however, they may not always return to base instantly, and might need to be rescued in a subsequent mission).

Upgrading your Crew & Garage facilities will lessen the blow of losing your crew or vehicle, so it’s definitely a good idea to remember to do this.

Upgrading Crew Facilities

You can upgrade your Crew facilities to increase the starting level of new recruits.
You can also upgrade your Garage facilities so that more of your Battle Wagon is salvaged (for free) when it is lost.

There’s even more to learn than I’ve written here… but hopefully these tips will help you get off to a good start! The Badlands is a dangerous place. You will lose crewmates, you will fail missions… but I hope that ultimately you will triumph. We’re all looking forward to the game’s launch on Monday. See you then!

Our last tip applies IRL! If you own Bomber Crew and/or Space Crew, you'll get an extra discount when Badlands Crew launches, so make sure to take advantage of stacking launch and bundle discounts!
