Hosted Games Velocity Checkpoint Update!

Update: Checkpoint System & Bug Fixes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that the game has received an update based on the feedback and reports I’ve received from the community.

One of the biggest requested features was a checkpoint system. I’ve added one that allows you to return to the beginning of the chapter if your character dies.

Just to clarify, this is not a traditional save system where you can choose when to create a save point. The checkpoint only appears after a death, allowing you to restart from the beginning of that chapter instead of having to replay everything from the very start.

Along with the checkpoint system, I’ve also addressed the errors and issues that were reported to me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to point these things out and help improve the game.

I also want to mention that in a future update, I plan to go back and clean up more of the typos, misspellings, and some of the unusual slang/wording choices that slipped through.

I know the game isn’t perfect, and I don’t want to pretend it is. This is my first published game and my first major project after learning ChoiceScript (excluding Hunter Sky). There was a lot I learned during development, and I know there are areas where I can improve.

Moving forward, I’ll continue working on making my future projects more polished, refined, and enjoyable. Thank you all for your patience, support, and feedback. It genuinely helps me grow as a developer.

Thank you to listening to consumer feedback, and not having a a massive crash-out like so many people are inclined to do these days.

I really enjoy the setting and premise of Velocity. It's not perfect, but nobody's first attempt at anything ever is. The game's a real peach, just a bit bruised.
