- Scrapship is really getting FUN! That's a really good thing to say when you've been playtesting the same game for month after month. It's a good indication that the game is on the right track.
- The new AI system is SWEET! Most top-down shooters launch pre-scripted waves of enemies at you. Scrapship launches enemies based on a variety of factors, such as player performance. When the game is closer to completion I'll give more specifics as to how this all works. But if you think F.E.A.R (the AI aspect of it) meets top-down shooter than you pretty much get the idea.
- Lag has been significantly reduced.
- Enemy ships like the Battleship (pictured above) only fire their guns when their guns are on-screen.
- Improved and fixed some default enemy spawning behavior.
- Lots of improvement to the code.
