Patch Notes- Alpha 0.1.0

We interrupt your daily grub to bring you a new Potatostrike patch.

Mission 2 has finally arrived! Picking up right where mission 1 left off, the Potatostrike leads an assault into an Harvesting Station orbiting a nearby Ice planet. It looks like Starchless intends to repurpose it to destroy all nearby planets. We must put a stop to this plan.

Additionally, a lot of bugs and errors were fixed, and I mean a lot. A screenshot functionality was also added! Get a cool action shot, or show off your friends your high score (while I figure out how to make a built-in highscore tracking system) with the press of a button!

Here's a full list of patch notes:

Bugs:

• Fixed pressing Pause while in the Upgrade menu forcing it to close. Let me know if you want to see this added as a feature!
• Fixed the Hunter's hitbox being larger than intended.
• Fixed the Laser not always hitting the closest enemy first.
• Fixed the Mouse Cursor not resetting correctly when pausing and unpausing the game.
• Fixed enemies taking damage from projectiles even when the game was paused.

Additions:

• Added Mission 2. Unlocked after finishing Mission 1 on any ending.

Changes:

• Ordnance now makes a positional sound as it flies by the Potatostrike.
• Particle effects now remain on screen when pausing the game.
• Changed the space background of Mission 1.

Technical Changes:

• Improved the Laser beam hitscan code.
• Optimized the "player hit" sound code.
• Added a save file system that stores your progress. Later iterations will also keep track of high scores and, hopefully, unlockables.

If anyone has any suggestions, feedback, or bugs to report, feel free to leave a comment, send an email to the support address, or message me on any of my social media accounts (preferably Mastodon). Stay safe, Taters!
