Bug with mission reward

[Commiesrock]

After beating the first planet, I picked a "First command you choose will start at additional power" upgrade. The next mission, I picked a movement command with Odmik, which is supposed to be "Move left or right 2 spaces". The visual showed that the command was upgraded, the text for moving 2 spaces was highlighted, but the command only moved 1 space when executing. I also tested this with turning, which is supposed to turn right at level 2, but the command still executed turning left.

That aside, really enjoy the game, reminds me a lot of a tabletop game called "RoboRally". Pretty simple premise but ends up having some depth to it as you play. Is there a plan to add skipping/speeding up movement animations? That's definitely something I'd recommend to keep the game going fast. The enemies can bog the game down a bit when there are more of them on the screen all waiting their turn to crawl around.

Hi Commiesrock,

Thanks for the detailed bug report. I was able to reproduce the bug and fix it. The bug is fixed in v0.9.2 which is now live on Steam.

I did some research into similar games and I also came across RoboRally. Looks like a fun game and I'm hoping to add it to my collection of board games. I'm actually a big fan of board games. Command Line Pilot is inspired by the board game Mech Vs Minions (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/209010/mechs-vs-minions). If you like RoboRally then I can definitely recommend checking out Mechs vs Minions.

We will be looking into a way to be able to speed up or skip the animation. Other players have also reported that the enemy animations can take a bit long when there are many on the screen. Thanks for the feedback. Will be moving this up on our prioritized list of tasks.

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I would get a push notification each time something is posted in the Discussions, but that either did not happen or I missed it. Will be keeping a better eye on the discussions here from now on.

Glad you're enjoying the game! Appreciate the bug reports and feedback!

No problem! I appreciate the quick push with the in-game feedback button too, I'll keep an eye out going forward but that was the only thing I came across so far. I look forward to 1.0!
