A new version of Code Tactics team's excellent flight sim homebrewed game, Mobile Assault, is now available for your downloading consumption. Now on version 1.4.2, the latest update of the 3D helicopter shooter features two new missions, custom mission support, minor fixes and various other improvements.

Changelog:

Features

Two new missions.
Custom mission support (PSP).

Improvements

In game messages tell the player when objectives have been changed.
Added some roll to the helicopter movement when turning (PSP).

Bug Fixes

Fixed bug where tanks were going straight for the helipad in the instant action mission.

Developer's note:

This release includes custom mission loading on psp - we're still working out how to get the editor out there - but in the mean time if anyone wants to be a beta tester, let me know and we can arrange early access.

Developer's note:

It's only been a couple of weeks since 1.4, but Justin and I figured we've added some important changes to justify a 1.4.1 release. The first fix is to address the rare crashes that we were getting on startup with iPhone. Basically there was a thread race condition that we couldn't fix without totally ripping the guts out of the current code. I personally still don't understand why what we had before never worked, but we're pretty sure this fix will be the end of this particular issue. The other fix is to do with AI. Turns out that instead of a tank trying to find a target 5 times a second, it was doing it 100 times a second. With lots of tanks on the map, that's a lot of CPU being used unnecessarily. We're currently exploring better ways to manage large numbers of units and projectiles, so hopefully we can squeeze a few more FPS out of the game.

Changelog:

Improvements

AI optimisations.

Bug Fixes

Fixed updating of particle effects.
Final fix for crash on startup on iPhone.

The Code Tactics team's excellent flight sim homebrewed game, Mobile Assault, has received a new update. Tagged as version 1.4, the latest release features a new artwork, more misions, minor fixes and various other improvements.

iPad support.
Retina display support (HD images).
New mobile artillery unit.
New menu and HUD textures.
4 New missions.

Improvements

'Instant Action' randomly uses either grass or desert environments.
5x faster database write speed.
The quantity of bonus objectives are declared to the player.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the scrolling issue with some menus.
Fixed bug where the dust kick from the M320 wouldn't appear when at the highest rate of fire.
Fixed bug where not all in game messages were being displayed in the message log (iPhone)

Developer's note:

We intend to get a 1.4.1 release out soon that will allow users to finally make their own missions and play them on the PSP. The caveat being that those missions won't actually affect the leaderboard or stats in any way.

We hope to get some systems in place that will allow us to share your creations via our website (with your permission, of course).

Developer's note:

Hi, everyone. Justin and I (the Codetactics team) have just released version 1.3 of Mobile Assault.

The changelist is as follows:

Features

• 3 new missions
• 6 new desert building structures
• A new spy base structure

Improvements

• Updated mission ending system
• Separate objectives into primary, Secondary and Bonus categories
• In-game Message Log is scrollable and better spaced
• In-game messages are left aligned
• Better explosions and bullet-to-ground particle effects
• New icon

Fixes

• Alternating (left, right wing) missile fire is now in sync

Under The Hood

• Improved mission scripting
• Browser based mission editor (internal use only for the moment)

If anyone is wondering why such the long wait and such a limited changelist, the reason is that we've been putting a lot of effort into making a browser based mission editor. Basically the process of porting our old c++ scripted missions into the editor, and then fixing all the quirks took a really long time, but we're satisfied that the final design will stand up for quite a few releases.

Ultimately we're really keen for users to make and submit their own missions. First though, we really ought to make some tutorial videos to give a good overview of how the editor works.

By all means, let fly with the feedback.

Changelog:

Features

• Better in game message system.
• Achievements, with uploading to the leaderboard.

Improvements

• Add more text radio chatter to every mission.

Bug Fixes

• Fix a crash on startup on iPhone.

Under The Hood

• Game action performance improvements.
• Preparation for mission scripting.
• Fix small memory leaks.

Hi everyone. Justin and I (the codetactics team) have just released v 1.01 of Mobile Assault (formally known as Apollonia).

It's been more that 6 months since we released 0.04a and a lot of improvements have been made.

We'd really appreciate it if you give the iPhone version a go too, as it offers a slightly different playing experience than the PSP, especially when delivering airstrikes.

As always, we'd really appreciate feedback, postive and negative. Some of you may notice that it took a year for us to implement upgrades (as they were suggested way back when we released 0.01), so now that they're there, if anyone would like to suggest some more, fire away.

Changelog:
Improvements

• PSP support for the tactical support and upgrade menus.
• PSP network connection dialog for leaderboard support.

Version 1.0

Features

• New name: Mobile Assault.
• Weapon mount points.
• iPhone.
• New menu look and feel.
• Online Leaderboard (PSP vs iPhone).
• New smooth chase camera with 3 zoom levels.
• Updates.
• Sand terrain, palm tree model.
• 3 new missions.
• New endless instant action mode.
• Help slideshow.
