Just before Turkey Day, we added a bit of visual polish with depth of field. Most dramatic during cutscenes, depth of field will be used when necessary to add a cinematic feel to shots. We may explore using it during gameplay to exaggerate scale as well.

If you haven’t seen this image before, you’ve missed a huge update! We added 12 new screenshots to the Max Blastronaut website with our latest video, so go check ‘em out. They showcase a bunch of recent features we’ve been staying up all night adding. And yes, batting a guy into space is as fun as it looks!

Here’s an overdue status update of Max Blastronaut… new galaxies, new weapons, new enemies, and generally just a lot more than we’ve shown before! We’re getting real close to a solid game experience. Check out Max Blastronaut’s official website to see a new video and a few new screenshots!
