I found a bug; if you click the executable file twice before the first window pops up, it runs the game on two windows without terminating one of the windows.
Not surprised. This can happen with almost any executable. The short answer is don't do it. The long answer is upgrade your computer, and stop trying to do it.
I'm having the same bug as everyone else, but what i haven't seen is people noticing the "failed to check for updates check your connection" so far my game is up to date and it's a new save for the update because every update removes my save anyway. If I go into a battle or edit my island i get this. At this point i feel like doing a new game wont fix this issue so im not even going to attempt.
Hey there. Every update does not remove your save. That is what is causing these errors. I changed some of the ways save files are handled and did not change the save version number. If you hold down new game, it should fix your problem.
When the game try's to load old save file the island code from the old Ver of the game the lines are different thus thus the game bugs out and saying"Array index must be positive at gml_Script_island_update_stats".

Hey, I just beat the final boss. Although there are more maps now, I can't do anything after I update the version and still stuck in the last position. After playing for so long, tired and don't want to start the game again. I have to say that this game is very interesting, but the difficulty is really higher. I rely on tricks to sneak off the game before the death to avoid death.
A little unfortunately, it seems that I have encountered another mistake.

This game is really amazing. keep it up. but what I would loooooove would be a sandbox or creative mode where you have everything at your disposal including tech
By far, one of my favorite games on my computer, simplistic, but also challenging. Things i've noticed recently, It feels the scaling late game of enemy ships spikes at the last map. Shields went from 12-15 straight to 24+ with 10+ weapons. The ! enemies i felt like were harder than the final boss. Maybe make final boss harder? or tune down the scaling a bit to make the boss challenging. Other than that, all my time playing has been a blast.
It's a good idea, that would be pretty awesome, also with a balenced system (like if you add more bullets shot to a weapon, it will add more size or pounds in it) so the weapons are not to op. Also, a map creator with custom ennemies islands could be nice too, even better if you could share your maps online ^^
This is strange, i got 3 of those, it's says that it can add 2 more weapons, so, logically, i can have +6 weapons, but the problem is that i can only put 5 weapons on my island, it's maybe a bug or something... can you fix it, please? >w< (i'm in the second world, the game is hard at this point without enought weapons ^^') Thank you ^^
Im glad you are enjoying it. I am actually really really enjoying developing this game. Hop over onto the discord so you can get sneak peeks and give feedback that can change the entire direction of the game. Im hoping to build this game with the community.

In addition to this error, I encountered another one while playing. Anomalies occur when there are more than 9 weapons.
Hey man! I haven't seen that error in 1.15 before. Can you confirm that you are indeed on 1.15? Also, what sector/zone are you in and how often have you seen this?
Anyways, the weapons doing weird things when you have more than 9 is a bug that will get fixed in the next update.
Hey Jwiggs could you balance the enemy islands spamming mortars? I've encountered many islands with more than 6 mortars/double mortars, and they tear through my island. They start in mid/late 2nd world, before i have very much to defend against them, and not as much firepower as i need.
Yeah, this seems to be a bug I created when I fixed the bug where crystals don't generate energy. In other words, I am aware of this and it will be fixed in the next update.
I think that blank preview indicates that it will yield a random item. Could be another legendary item or a mythic! I don't have the guts to try it when you come so far into the game.
also, if u quit the game when ur about to die, you can continue before you died and get a new enemy, I do it sometimes when I get put against an enemy with 3 or more mortars :c
Sorry to bother but would you have an answer to why my mac tells me "The following disk images couldn't be opened" "Reason, no mountable file systems."
Ive ran the command in terminal before and after download, I've verified the disk image in disk utility, I've restarted my mac on several occasions but it still gives me this message
Some people have gotten this error from having an older mac, or having older software. I can confirm that it works on High Sierra and probably Sierra, but anything under that I'm not sure. Which osX are you running?
Sorry bout that. The timeout feature i implemented didnt work as planned. The next update coming out in a few days should fix this. For 1.15, you will need a decent connection though.
Hey, do you mind making save slots in the game? I have had a few issues with getting far in the game, taking a break, and when opening to the title screen I click new game naturally. Even after immediately closing out I have to start over. Thank you
The forge has a recipe book that is procedurally generated. This means that throughout all your different runs, if you put in the same three items(order doesn't matter), you will get the same output.
With the forge, it pays off to play around with it. Substitute in some blocks to try and get a better one. If you like a recipe, write it down somewhere.
Agree. I was lucky enough to not face them that often. I loss twice (both to grenadier user) and still manage to win the game. Still manage to win against some of them tho
Hey man! I'm pretty sure you have to run the command before downloading. So try ejecting the dmg and re downloading the game. Also, I have had people who have had problems on older software versions(anything before sierra).
I L O V E this game! The concept is great, the style is great, the difficulty is perfect, all around the best game I've played all summer, including mainstream stuff.
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Its a real compliment to read what you wrote. Thank you for that! Stick around for updates or join the discord if you want to be involved in the future development of the game!

why is there no end screen if you win?
It is not implemented yet.
I found a bug; if you click the executable file twice before the first window pops up, it runs the game on two windows without terminating one of the windows.
Not surprised. This can happen with almost any executable. The short answer is don't do it. The long answer is upgrade your computer, and stop trying to do it.
Nothing the devs can do to fix that.
There is a typo or a bug with the small firepower unit; it says that it provides 2 additional weapon slots but it only provides 1 additional slot.
The small firepower unit does indeed provide 2 additional weapon slots, but most weapons will take up 2 slots anyways(check their size).
Hey there. Every update does not remove your save. That is what is causing these errors. I changed some of the ways save files are handled and did not change the save version number. If you hold down new game, it should fix your problem.
Sorry about that.
At the moment if you want to play the game just make a save file.
The new Errors are caused by old save files.
When the game try's to load old save file the island code from the old Ver of the game the lines are different thus thus the game bugs out and saying "Array index must be positive
at gml_Script_island_update_stats".
Thats what I think is going on.
This Error is caused by old save files.

You are in for a treat then! The game just got updated. It should make things a little easier I hope.
10/10 best game .
This is one of the most original games i have see for a long time props to you jwiggs.
You should add a ingame modding and texture editing gui, and allow these to be saved and shared
It's a good idea, that would be pretty awesome, also with a balenced system (like if you add more bullets shot to a weapon, it will add more size or pounds in it) so the weapons are not to op. Also, a map creator with custom ennemies islands could be nice too, even better if you could share your maps online ^^
This is strange, i got 3 of those, it's says that it can add 2 more weapons, so, logically, i can have +6 weapons, but the problem is that i can only put 5 weapons on my island, it's maybe a bug or something... can you fix it, please? >w< (i'm in the second world, the game is hard at this point without enought weapons ^^') Thank you ^^
Make sure to check the size of each weapon. Most weapons take up 2 weapon slots while stronger ones take up 3
Oh i see, thank you very much ^^
Some weapons take up more than one weapon slot.I should make that more clear. Thanks for the feedback!
That's a really good game, i'm really looking foward for a future steam release if you could do it ^^
OMG YESS
does anyone know the crafting recipe for a mortar?
this game is amazing like really, it's a cross of sandbox and slay the spire, which turned out to be amazing, and i'm glad you're working on it :D
Im glad you are enjoying it. I am actually really really enjoying developing this game. Hop over onto the discord so you can get sneak peeks and give feedback that can change the entire direction of the game. Im hoping to build this game with the community.
Thanks for the support!
No problem :)
tbh, it reminds me a bit more of FTL. Not too sure why, perhaps just similar progression and objective.
it reminded me more of slay the spire :P
Hey, how can I avoid this mistake?

Sorry, I downloaded it from the following URL, it is not the latest version.

u can download it free from here on itch.io

this is like slay the spire but with customizeable airships. I love it!
yees
I crafted a 2nd warp drive :O
Cool! So what is it? Just a warp drive you can place on the ship? Or an extra life?
How does that work? Could you share the recipe you used?
also i had an issue, if i put a weapon on the crystal block, it would never fire. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem.
Yeah, this seems to be a bug I created when I fixed the bug where crystals don't generate energy. In other words, I am aware of this and it will be fixed in the next update.
Ah ok, glad to see :D
Whaat, does this mean that you can have more than one :O (though i've never had my island destroyed in this playthrough)
are legendary items the best you can currently get? (In terms of weaponry)
I think that blank preview indicates that it will yield a random item. Could be another legendary item or a mythic! I don't have the guts to try it when you come so far into the game.
I pressed, and it didn't take my gold or the items, it just said "Failed" i'm guessing it makes nothing yet.
Oh glad to know that. Glad I didn't do it then.
eh, it did nothing, instead i was stupid and made a warp drive, that i cannot even place oh well lmao rip legendary gatling gun
also, if u quit the game when ur about to die, you can continue before you died and get a new enemy, I do it sometimes when I get put against an enemy with 3 or more mortars :c
man, all i can say is this game is so cool, looking forward for new update. also, thank you for make a fun game like this!!!!!!
please add easy medium and hard because this is a bit too hard... please?
Yes, the difficulty does pick up later in the game. If you really want too, anyone can beat the final boss. Just takes a little time though.
Sorry to bother but would you have an answer to why my mac tells me "The following disk images couldn't be opened" "Reason, no mountable file systems."
Ive ran the command in terminal before and after download, I've verified the disk image in disk utility, I've restarted my mac on several occasions but it still gives me this message

Ill upgrade to High Sierra son and test it again
Your boss was amazing !
this is preetty cool bbut it isnt ashard to beat as the1.0 boss it is so hard
That last screenshot looks so epic with all the explosions. Nice job beating him!
hey,I am very interested in this game, but I always show checking the updates when I enter the game, I have been unable to enter the game. cry
Sorry bout that. The timeout feature i implemented didnt work as planned. The next update coming out in a few days should fix this. For 1.15, you will need a decent connection though.

Hey, do you mind making save slots in the game? I have had a few issues with getting far in the game, taking a break, and when opening to the title screen I click new game naturally. Even after immediately closing out I have to start over. Thank you
is there a way to know the recipes of the forge or i need to keep trying
sorry for bad english i'm from argentina
The forge has a recipe book that is procedurally generated. This means that throughout all your different runs, if you put in the same three items(order doesn't matter), you will get the same output.
With the forge, it pays off to play around with it. Substitute in some blocks to try and get a better one. If you like a recipe, write it down somewhere.
Good luck forging!
Is it any surprise that I find the common enemies of the last 2 worlds harder than the final boss at times?
Yup it is! I found it suprising myself. Balancing will be done in the future. The dev seems to prioritize fixing bugs that are ruining gameplay.
Right now the closest workaround seems to be closing the game and restarting to reroll the enemy. Mortars are impossibly irritating ;-;
Agree. I was lucky enough to not face them that often. I loss twice (both to grenadier user) and still manage to win the game. Still manage to win against some of them tho
I tried to play this game on Mac and I did the Terminal thing but every time I open it, it says 'Game not found!' Please tell me how to fix that.
