There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.
Space Mercenary Defense Force » v1.0.2 – Boss Death Animations, Camera Transitions, & HP Bars
This update focuses on quality of life and clarity improvements regarding bosses and boss deaths.
Bosses now have a visible small HP bar similar to module charge bars on them so you know your progress in defeating them and how close they are to death.
Also added are death animations for all bosses similar to the player death animation where explosions trigger and the boss splits into pieces before fading out.
Lastly, after the animation has ended, the camera will no longer instantly jump back to centering the player. Instead, it now pans over to it’s new position over a 1 second duration, creating a smoother, less jarring transition to returning to the non-boss gameplay.
- Fixed issue where the laser bosses would continue looping their laser beam SFX after the first is killed while it is playing.
