To all those who have the beta for Pixels Soldiers: The Great War, you can now check out the update for the new aircraft mechanics. There are still a few things that need to be done, but you should be able to get a good idea of what the new gameplay will be like.
Aircraft Update changes the following rules…
-Aircraft now transition between different states in this order: on airfield > [option to enter hanger to get repairs] > sky above the battlefield > ground attack enemy units on the battlefield.
-Aircraft have fuel that is replenished when they get back to the airfield. Fuel is used up if ending the turn in the sky.
-Aircraft can enter the hangar on the airfield to get repairs.
-Please note this is currently just a barebones implementation of what’s to come.
Still to do…
*AI Aircraft to use new system
*Air to Air combat
*Running out of fuel should destroy aircraft
*Fuel warning when low
*Implement night, wind and weather conditions
Also, I know a lot of you have contacted me about bugs. They have been noted and they will be fixed. If you find any more, please let me know!
If anyone else would like to participate in the beta, send an email to jollypixelgames@gmail.com with your Google account, and I’ll add you to the list.
Thanks, and I hope you’ll like the new aircraft design.
