IF in US, THEN happy Independence Day, ELSE happy day in general! With less than three weeks to go we’ve hit 40% funding and nearly 2100 backers. Keep pushing, keep spreading the word, and make sure to tell your gaming blogger of choice: space gaming isn’t dead!

PREPARE TO DIE

The waiting is over. As requested by our community: HARDCORE MODE! The AI is SMARTER and MORE AGRESSIVE, weapons and armor are rebalanced, and the battlefield is now swarming with enemies. This is still alpha, but now it’s alpha with TEETH.

Download the cumulative patch (HERE) and drop the contents into your SKYJACKER directory, overwriting previous files. Run Setup.exe to choose your poison:

Normal: same as the current demo (bugfixes implemented, less likely to crash)

Hard: more enemies, more action (higher demands on processor)

Insane: downright unfriendly (powerful computer needed)

Make sure you click “Apply” to lock in your choice, and then play the game. If your game abruptly fades out and dumps you to a menu screen - you died. Death cinematics are on the to-do list. :) Your pledges mean we’ll have the time and resources needed to complete all aspects of the game, from resource optimization to death-cams. Now get in there and fight for your life!

*** In addition, by several requests we implemented a possibility to disable stretching dots while the flight. Press Y to hide them, or Y again to get them back ***
