A lot of these changes were made to help clean up old designs to add a sense of polish and professionalism to the final version. Some changes were simply filling in missing sound effects or visual effects such as on the boss enemies and certain player abilities. Another important aspect was to bring together elements of the design to be more cohesive like displaying the endgame score. Finally, some changes were just us having fun with voice acting.
Future Developments
We have yet to decide whether we want to continue developing Giga-Squadron 1.21 after release, or if we will move on to new projects. It was a great experience developing together so maybe we can continue doing so to make some exciting new games for people to (hopefully) enjoy.
