Version 0.3.0 - Gamepad support, more enemies & research options!


After some delays, I have now updated Deep Space Survivor to version v0.3.0! There are some long-awaited updates in this release, full changelog can be found at the end of this post.

Here are the most notable changes in this release:


Gamepad Support

The game now has a full gamepad support. You do not need to configure the gamepad in-game, just make sure it is plugged in before starting the game. You can, of course, still use the keyboard as normal.



Added more research options

There are two new research options in the game: "Better Items", that makes the in-game dropped items have more powerful effects, and "Salvage", that makes the destroyed enemy ships have a chance of dropping items on death.



Added new enemy type: "Round Green Ship"

I have added a new enemy type to the level, dubbed "Round Green Ship". This ship has a bit more health than average ship, but is also bit more slower than average as well.



Added new weapon: Mines

In the upgrade dialog, you may have a chance of getting the new weapon "mine layer". This weapon automatically lays mines on your path and destroys enemy ships when hit.
