TTL Update 2

Hello Cadets! I have here a major update featuring the game near completion! The basic gameplay has been improved since its first release for the game jam. This has been a lot of fun to work on and I want to keep working on it however I wanted to put it out there for feedback

Improvements

Lander Controls: The landing thrusters have been refined with a slower softer descending rate as oppose to a hard hover stop. You can turn/rotate the Lander faster by holding opposite directions on the thruster control, IE pressing up on the left hand and down on the right hand will make you turn clockwise faster and so on. The death sequence has been improved with a little delay to respawn and new particle effect

Particles: The particle systems have been vastly improved, the thruster particles have been improved in their motion and instantiate in the world position, the lander exploding particles have been improved with a better burst pattern and instantiated in the real world.

Gameplay: Before the only goal was to land on all the platforms but now you are a space delivery person where you get a package from your space warehouse and it has a destination you must take it to. You must land carefully and deliver the package to its correct destination. More will come to this aspect of the game

UI: I replaced the original mini-map idea with a navigation arrow that points to your current destination and it will nicely fade as you get close to the target. There is a new Cargo Panel as well that displays how many packages have been delivered out of how many you had.

The next works

In the next phase of the development there will be a 3 major improvements, more UI work is needed, there will be a new feature as well as trying to polish everything. A point system: there will be a new point manager that will track all the packages and scores, console, There will be a new UI element that will display flavor text to the player that will state the landing speed, state the package info and some dialog when the player delivers or picks up a package.
