Hey there, fellow Ylanders!

Firstly we would like to thank you for the huge amount of feedback we got based on the last Dev Diary. It's just awesome to see how much thought many of you have put into it! <3 We're still looking into it and discussing it, and will comment on some of the points soon.

Today we would like to share a bit more information about the Blueprints update we're planning for the next update. So far you your options to build something awesome and (re)use it in Exploration as a Blueprint were extremely limited. That shouldn't be the case anymore.

If all goes well, in 1.10 we'll introduce some rather big changes to Blueprints. Blueprints and Compositions will turn into two types of Blueprints (naming can change) - Explorer and Creator Blueprints.



Let us share a bit more about their specifics:

• Creator Blueprints are pretty much what Compositions were (and your existing Compositions, will, in fact, be considered Creator Blueprints). Within those you will be able to store pretty much everything you create in the Editor. However, those will be usable only in the Editor.
  
• Explorer Blueprints will be usable in both Exploration and the Editor. The biggest change when compared to pre-1.10 Blueprints is, that you can create those in the Editor and then use in your Exploration world. Also, they can contain much more than just building blocks. You can have a Blueprint of a house, filled with items, surrounded by a garden with flowers and trees.
  
• In 1.10 you will be able to use these only locally and we'll check if it all works as intended and improve it based on your feedback. In 1.11 we will add advanced options of sharing and monetizing for creators of both kinds of Blueprints.

Even though it will become much easier to create amazing Blueprints and use them in the Exploration, don't forget that they're still just that - something that requires your effort to get all the resources (be it materials or specific items) to build it. The more sophisticated the blueprint, the more effort you'll need to build it.

That's it for this week, as always, let us know what you think and on top of that...

Stay classy, Ylanders!

Fixes for some missed nodes spawn effects and missing links.

Hey everyone,

sometimes, reality shifts away from a plan. And while you can just accept this and continue, in my case I want to react to these changes.

A price increase on an already released game is rather unconventional - Beat Invaders is not an Early Access game where it is much more common to increase the price of the product with added content.

And that Beat Invaders is not an Early Access title was, in hindsight, a mistake from my side.

I noticed I didn't want to leave the game in the state it was originally released. It wasn't super buggy or boring, but it just felt incomplete to me.

So - a lot of the problems have been tackled in 2.0 and I am sure I will continue to add new content to the game as the community and player base grows.

But I am at the point where the price of the game does just not represent what a buyer is getting and this puts the game in a bad spot.

I have been contacted over and over with opinions that the game is way too cheap.
That it can also be received as a low-end product because of the low-end price.

As a result of really thinking a lot about it and also talking about the topic with friends - the price of Beat Invaders will be increased.

As a player that already bought the game, nothing will change for you - of course! 😘



Thank you very much for your time and support!

You probably wouldn't even notice this, but we did some minor changes and tweaks.
Thanx for the feedback, by the way! Some of it was included in this fix too.

Patch 1.006 addresses some early feedback on game balance.
- Decreased the size of the player hitbox
- Increased the rate at which the Gunmachine recharges
- Increased player weapon firing speed
- Decreased the health of late game enemies, the Act 3 shielding enemy and Act 4 'boss rush' enemies in particular.
- Adjusted early level enemy movement speed
- Reduced the window for chaining dashes
- Increased the damage the Gunmachine does on bosses (This was originally greatly reduced so you couldn't walk into a boss fight, trigger the Gunmachine and trivialise the whole encounter)

Known issues:
- Final boss stuttering. This seems to be only on the first time that scene loads. A temporary fix for now is to reload the level.
- The Gunmachine sprite staying active when the Gunmachine ability has expired. This is difficult to reproduce. If this happens to you, please leave any info you have in the game's Discord channel:

https://discord.com/invite/DJWMdE4

Any other feedback or bug reporting is appreciated in the Discord channel. I'm a solo dev so these things will take more time than if the game was made by a full team of people. I appreciate your patience.
