This is the biggest beta update yet! After a long silence due to working hard on development, I'm proud to say the development of Jet Island's gameplay is nearly complete. Jet Island is now a full adventure, with a beginning and end. The game now has 4 complete boss fights, each more epic and more massive than the last. Especially the final one, the boss fights are like nothing you've ever experienced before.
In addition to the new boss battles, players now can upgrade their stats. Drones are placed throughout the world, waiting in towers marked with a red beam. Defeat them to get crystals that update your stats. This allows the gameplay to be well balanced at the same time as giving the player the ability to max out their stats and really push the limits of the speed that is possible with the game's unique physics system.
There's also tons of new level design added to the game. The world feels even bigger now with all the new stuff to explore. From the astroids in the sky to the caverns down below, this world is not only just an open world, but a completely 3D open world.
Lots of other small changes have been added to the game such as a reoverhaule of the player progression system. Saving is automatic and works a lot better now, as well as syncing player progression in online co-op.
I have been asked many many times, when will this game be released? I don't have a specific day chosen yet. All I can say is the game is 99% done. The game's actual gameplay, the adventure that makes this game awesome, is complete! Of course there will always be updates with small bug fixes, gameplay balances, and sometimes new features. So really the only things left on my to-do list are quality of life things, such as menu stuff, inviting your friends to a private party, more options in the options menu, etc.
The game is extremely close to having an official release date. Jet Island is now an unique adventure that is hard to describe with words or video just how awesome it feels to play in VR. Stay tuned, this game is going to be epic!
