Update 5 - Welcome to the Arena!

- A new gamemode has been implemented, Hotspot Arena! Battle against 2 different enemy types in 3 new levels. Test your strength and try out new loadouts. This is a permanent new addition to Protection Duty as an arcade mode. Eventually a scoring system will be implemented. It's also entirely possible that there will be an online multiplayer vs mode in the arena too, this is TBD. For now, enjoy yourselves pilots and good luck!
- Turret level has been removed. The main focus for Protection Duty, for now, is to get the starfighter levels functional before anything else. As it is still a fun gamemode, it may be added back at a later date but for now, the tutorial and arena modes are the only playable levels.
- Behind the scenes improvements have been made to make new enemy types (which are being worked on constantly) more modular to implement as well as performance issues there have been.
- Models - There have been a few new models introduced to the game as well as minor tweaks to existing models. Eventually, there will be an overhaul of all the models due to the scale feeling disproportionate at the moment (in my opinion) due to every model being made at the same size and then the bigger ones just being scaled up. This will hopefully be incorporated into a future update soon.
Note:
- The next update might not be the biggest overall, as I am planning on working on some settings options so the user can tweak volume, controls etc. There probably will be some UI tweaks as well, but overall the game's functionality most likely won't change for a while.
Good luck out there pilots and have fun! You can find the new version of the game below:
