- New Unity Port - 3 August 2017
Unity Port I added an option to launch Shiperoids in the classic mode (Old Single Player Version). Or the new HD version that supports multiplayer and controllers. The HD version is still rough but it does work. There is no level progression yet so your just shooting endless ships. Also, the bomb does not spawn. Both versions are playable so you can still enjoy the classic version if you like. New Controls There is a new set of controls and an added feature, Brakes. The original mouse controls still work the same and middle mouse click is bound to the new Brakes.
- Unity Port removed - 3 August 2017
Due to unity's new license I had to remove the unity port.
- Shiperoids Unity Port Update - 10 September 2016
I have made a fair bit of progress porting Shiperoids to Unity. I am not a programmer but I am a quick study. Also I have found a plethora of tools to help this poor artist get this game working. I got the basic game up and running with pseudo multiplayer (On The Same Machine!) actual co-op coming later. Controller support now works with your choice of old school mouse mode, keyboard, joystick, or D-pad aiming. You can now play at almost any resolution you like. I intentionally made the playfield scale with the window size. That means if you have a 5200 x 1200 monitor it will be filled with Shiperoids. Also, if you're one of those weirdos that plays with there monitor rotated in the vertical position it will work that way as well. The only downside to all this awesomeness is that the file size of the game has ballooned to about 5 times the size at 35 megabytes. Along with the fancy new…

- Going to break your save games tomorrow. Back up your game. - 12 August 2016
Each new version is not backwards compatible with the save games. If you don't want to loose your progress copy your Shiperoids folder(Shiperoids.exe and saves folder) from the steam folder to some other location and run it from the new location. This along with several other limitations of the game engine is why I want to port it to Unity, so I can do more cool stuff like better saves, co-op and controller support. It also means that this is going to be the last update for a while so I can do some tedious porting work. Tomorrows update....

- Shiperoids Dev Plan - 10 August 2016
Shiperoids Development Plan Unity Port, Currently I am in the process of porting Shiperoids to Unity. It's a straightforward process, all the assets are already created, but it's time consuming. Once I have a 1:1 clone of it in Unity I will push out that update and then start adding features and changes to the new Unity build. Please be patient, Shiperoids is a priority for me but I also work and go to school full time so updates may not come as quickly as you want them too. New Features Custom Controls - I want to add multiple control inputs, mouse, keyboard, custom analog dial (for full size arcade machines). Also a way to fully customize the controls to your liking. More power-ups – Not just random bombs but guided missiles, friendly turrets, super laser, stuff like that. I would love some ideas and input on this if anyone has them. Larger Play Field - This one is going to need some…
