Solaris, by @Octodemon

Thank you.
I don’t know what to say other than thank you.
Uh…
Which colour variant do you think looks the best?

I was going to say blue, but red (1 in the list, or the top left one) fits the Solaris theme perfectly…

So you’re saying that the one I designed to fit Solaris fits Solaris? Thank you.
@Octodemon nice, my favourites are the blue one and the main one.

What’s up guys! I’m back with another update for Solaris after a short while and I’m here to announce update 1.7! This update is an all arounder and updates almost every aspect of Solaris, so get ready because here’s what was added this time around.


New Enemies


Here are some of the new enemies there are to face that I’ve added but why did I black out the last one? it’s because I’ve added a new boss and this boss is the hardest boss I’ve ever added to Solaris with a few interesting new features no other boss has! With the addition of the new prestige system in the last update, this not only allows you to increase all of your stats, but also increases the potential of buffs clans give you. So I’ve added a boss to match that

So I present to you, The Honored One
The most challenging boss in all of Solaris.

For reference the former hardest boss being the Hexed Battler had 95000 HP, and the Honored One has 235000 HP. Yes, you read that right. It’s a huge jump in HP and a gigantic challenge. Like a few of the previous bosses I’ve added, this boss requires a unique condition to encounter it on Onerous, but I will say it’s hardly as bad as some of the previous requirements I’ve made for other bosses. If you end up encountering it, please share in the topic! I want to hear your thoughts on it.


It’s a shame people take for granted the power I give them, especially the one made of synthetic bone and steel, if you could even call it that. You know how this works, don’t come find me.


New Skins



Introducing Virtue and Power which are the two new skins! What makes Power so special is that it’s the fourth unlockable skin added to Solaris! How do you unlock it? Die, take damage, kills? Well you’ll have to find out because the way you unlock it isn’t through any numerical value! (Hmm should I make a name for this, secret skin..? nahh)
Well, that concludes the new skins, if you manage to unlock Power, post it here!


New Upgrades


I know this has been something people have wanted for a while, so here I’ve added new upgrades! Those two being Speed I and Speed II. And I’m sure you can tell by the name that these upgrades increase your speed. So if you’re tired of being a slow hunk of metal floating in space, you should get these! (These are must haves for the new boss : ) ) Also before anyone asks, I will add more complex and unique upgrades in the future, but the only issue is that I need to balance them with clan abilities to ensure they aren’t too powerful.


Final Notes

Well that’s it for this update of Solaris and as always feedback is much appreciated! Also, I didn’t forget about the boss contest and I’ve decided a winner but I’ll announce that when update 1.8 comes out. Anyways thanks everybody, and go play the update!

Also forgot to mention that any suggestions for upgrades would be appreciated! I’ll take everyone’s ideas into account. For the meantime enjoy update 1.7 :upside_down_face:!

What about a time-slower that makes the enemies slow down and slows down the bosses’ attacks to make it easier? You could also only allow 4 of these attacks to be used every 30 - 40 seconds. Just saying.

This is a pretty cool game, Octodemon!
I really like the use of particle effects and I like it how this game actually gives you the ability to create a profile!

Hey guys! Just curious what you think I should focus on for the next few Solaris updates.

Look at this :frowning:

I have no idea how I encountered the Cargo Ship (assuming it is the Cargo Ship), but….

Those extra bosses happened. They messed up the health of the Cargo Ship, causing me to not be able to do damage to it, and also killed me very quickly after spawning. PLEASE fix this glitch! It has also happened to me with other bosses, again causing me to die and making the boss invincible. :frowning:

This happened to me several times, and I even encountered the Cargo Ship three more times, each time with this glitch happening.

^That is supposed to be a gif, if it doesn’t work then tell me, this is my first time doing a gif.

I can’t do gifs either. :slightly_smiling_face:
