Welcome to our monthly recap, where we highlight the exciting development progress of the Space Falcon. In this update, we'll take you through the milestones we've reached in June 2023. Join us as we celebrate our team's hard work and dedication to driving innovation in the Web3 gaming world.
What’s cookin?
You might have been confused with the latest posts on Twitter, Telegram and Discord that include footage of the new arcade game. For this reason, Space Falcon wants to disperse the confusion and we officially confirm that 2 games are in development.
Progress of the 3D Space Shooter Game
To begin with, the first game which is a 3D space shooter, has seen significant upgrades on the map, including new textures and objects making the game’s world rich and lively. The terrain will contain the futuristic city which will surround the main object needed to defend - a base tower. It will be attacked by many enemies seeking to destroy it and take what’s hidden there.
Since defending the tower is the main mission for players to succeed in the game, having accurate and smooth auto-aim shooting will make things a little bit easier. The projectile shooting has been updated making them chase the enemy in the specific range of the spaceship.
Weapons
Speaking about weapons, having a variety of equipment players can choose from is a proven way to maintain their interest. Therefore, we have created and added new weapons, including Electromagnetic Shotgun and Swarming Missiles. Both of them will have different shooting speed, damage, ammo, effects and loading time, so it will be up to you to see what fits more to your playing style.

Buff Items
Additionally, EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) and Speed Boost which are buff abilities have been deployed to elevate the gameplay experience. With EMP, players can sweep away anything from the ground while a Speed Boost will improve the velocity of handling the spaceship in all directions.

The New Arcade Game
What concerns the new arcade space shooter game, Space Falcon team started its development this month with the goal to take you back to fun and nostalgic times, the early 90s.
Players will need to fly with the spaceship, shoot and eliminate nemesis, defeat bosses and complete levels. The game consists of the player’s controllable spaceship, enemies, buff items, levels with different environments, bosses and great music. Sounds like fun right?
However, this won’t look like any typical old-school arcade game. It will have new and better graphics adapted specifically to its style and genre for the next-level SciFi experience. The game’s graphics are made out of 3D assets that create bigger space and gives a new feel while playing.
Buff Items
Speaking about buff items, they will assist players with difficult challenges that await in the arcade game. Each of the buffs has different effects:
- Laser that deals massive damage for a temporary time.
- Shield that can protect players from incoming damage.
- Bomb that explodes destroying everything around.
Before every fight, buff items will be available to purchase with stars, an in-game currency that can be earned from the levels. The player’s buffs will be transferred to another fight if not used. Also, there will be random airdrops in the game that will boost the performance of the spaceship and might even give something else…
Score Status
Moreover, every level will have a score status bar displayed on the screen that will change depending on how much score the player has at the moment of the showcase. It will go in the sequence such as:
Great ➝ Noteworthy ➝ Superior ➝ Outstanding ➝ Fantastic ➝ Supreme
Game Sound Effects & Music
The sound effects is the thing we are very excited about. To have the game more immersive, we’ve been working on sounds and making them as realistic, crispy and qualitative as possible.
Not to mention, the in-game music was composed and produced by a professional artist chosen by our team. Players will be able to listen to it when chilling in the menu, customizing the spaceship or fighting the enemies.
It will set the true SciFi hero spirit in you!
Private Game Testing
Finally, on the last day of June, Space Falcon organized a private game testing of the 3D Space Shooter game where the most passionate and supportive community members had a chance to test it out and share the feedback with the team.
There was also a prize pool of 50$ for winners who managed to provide the best feedback on the game and posts related to it on Twitter.
If you want to test the game in the future, make sure to stay tuned for more QA events like this one: https://twitter.com/SpaceFalconIO/status/1674724031344394240
