Some new Drones.
Posted 20th Aug 09, by MongMaster  
First of all, thanks for all the positive comments and the favourites! It's cool to know that people like my idea.

I'm currently adding some new stuff to the Intergalactic Mall, which is basically where you find all your unlockable ships, Drones and special modules. I've been mainly working on the Drones, which are basically heads that attach themselves to the bottom of your ship, and allow you to fire two lasers instead of one. Some of them have special abilities to help you in battle. Example:

That's the "Spartan Propelled Antimatter Ray Transmitting Autogun" Drone, the first Drone I ever created. Every 90 seconds, it calls a barrage of 300 Spartans to attack the incoming Failiens! I've got a bunch more created already.

I started creating three new Drones yesterday, and I've finished two of them off today:

The F.A.L.C.O.N Drone
Based off Captain Falcon from the F-Zero and Super Smash Brothers series of games. When you've managed to hold onto the Drone for 2 1/2 minutes, Captain Falcon will appear, and Falcon PAWNCH the first enemy he comes into contact with, creating what I like to call a "Chainsplosion". For three seconds after the PAWNCH, enemies will drop powerups, which can make you ridiculously overpowered for a bit.

There's a video of this in the previous devlog, just in case you missed it.

The A.H.N.O.L.D Drone
Based off Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course!
Since Arnie is pretty good at shouting, I thought that it'd be fitting to have this Drone yell "GEEAAAHHHHH!!" every minute, sending out shockwaves that slows down all enemies. Also, when he's shot, he'll yell "TAKE IT BACK!!" and fire a super-powered soundwave back at whoever shot him.

The best way to show off the A.H.N.O.L.D Drone is with a video of defeating the final boss without firing a shot (which is going to be one of the Master Achievements ), but unfortunately... my screen recorder's deciding not to work today for some reason. Just keeps spitting out pointless lumps of data which are supposed to be videos, but aren't.

That's all I've made for now, but the third one will be done by tomorrow:

The B.O.B Drone
Based off Bob The Builder. It was inspired by a YouTube poop featuring Bob The Builder firing lasers from his eyes.
This Drone will start with a full Charge Bar, which only depletes when you send the drone off to build walls. The walls will be able to take a fair few hits from enemies before being destroyed, and they'll generally meant to stop enemies getting past you and breaking your combo (which is worth big points ), or to defend areas of the screen you're having trouble with.

And that's all for now. Still got another 4 Drones to make after the B.O.B Drone until the Intergalactic Mall's full up. 14 drones to choose from is enough for now, methinks.

Next, I'm gonna be working on some more special modules, and maybe adding a few more Achievements, too. I've still gotta sort out some things with online multiplayer, too, but I think I'll save that for later on.

Off I go, then. In the words of Arnie... "I'LL BE BAHK."
