Airplane 2.0: The update is VERY soon!!


I haven't done a devlog in over a year. I wanted to post this and say that the update for airplane is still being worked on and not abandoned. I have been working on this game since 2023 and have been hard working on this update for a long while too. I have been very busy from tackling school to working on other stuff to trying new things etcetera etcetera... I am pleased to announce that airplane's update after all the hard work is releasing somewhere between 12/31/2025 and 12/31/2027 and in this devlog I would like to go over and confirm some more features that will be added into the update: (I will be going off the previous devlog: Airplane 2.0 update: final airplane update, as well as discuss some new stuff.)

CONFIRMED FEATURES

  • Volume slider (Master and SFX)
  • Pause button
  • Dark overlay
  • Environmental particles
  • Background events (Stars, Shooting stars, Thunderstorms, and Fog)
  • Entering shop takes you to your equipped plane
  • Some stuff like coins and enemy planes being affected by your base plane speed
  • More splashtext
  • Results screen
  • Bonus rounds
  • Achievements
  • Credits
  • New music
  • 25+ new planes
  • Weapon and Supporter perks (In the making)
  • Lottery machine
  • 9+ trails (Not as much as I intended due to most of them not fitting right with the game)
  • Varied missile speeds (Rather than all missiles going the same speed)
  • New coin design
  • Extras menu
  • Coinbags (Works like coins but give you 5-15 coins at once)
  • Text highlights
  • Overall gameplay stats
  • New tips and tricks
  • Difficulty indicator (to prove your high scores)
  • Ultra Hardcore (Name might change again)
  • Starting invincibility
  • Moon phases
  • Missiles no longer insta-kill and will deal 3hp on normal, 4hp on hard, and insta-kill in hardcore
  • Buffed difficulties (For comparison, the hard mode in the new update is comparable to the hardcore mode in the current update)
  • Scenery mode (Allows you to vibe away with the OST while also customizing the background to what you want (If airplane story mode comes out)
  • Bug fixes
  • Revised heath indicator
  • Airplane: Doodle Edition (Will be released for 2 bucks) (NOTE: Airplane doodle edition runs on an older version of the game so unfortunately, no save files or new stuff... just retextured airplane.)
  • Screen size is significantly smaller to fit more stuff (And more leeway to escape)
  • Remade city background
  • Looping background music

FEATURES PUT ON HOLD (I need to sit in a thinking chair for these)

  • Aerial Squad, Missile Rush, The 2000 (2000 planes 2000 missiles both increase in speed as time goes)
  • Airplane: Story mode (I really want to work on this but that is if I have time to)
  • Lasereye, Rebot, Airforce squad, and others that I come up with down the line along with the airplane story mode
  • Save files
  • Ingame events for New years and April fools

SCRAP

  • Traveler mode
  • Warps
  • Most of the bosses excluding airforce squad, rebot, (If that's his name when airplane story mode releases) and maybe lasereye. (These bosses will be in the airplane story mode)
  • Ingame events for easter and lunar new year
  • Fusion planes
  • Power-ups

Same as the last devlog I made a year back, nothing on this list is final. Hopefully I get to add more games to this profile after I am done! See ya!


SCREENSHOTS: (The city background has not yet been remade...)

(Sidenote: I am planning on making a trailer for the game as well, also when the update drops, there will be a new download version of airplane instead of your download version updating automatically. Keep that in mind.)
