This patch brings in some enormous changes, I'm not even sure where to begin!
We've been working hard to bring some of the core aspects too some of our major features.
O-Mega Patch!? Whats all this nonsense about!
This patch we've introduced a completely new map system, reformatted save files (but haven't broken them *phew*), added ship construction and a bunch of little bits and pieces you may notice. These are all the first step towards the much larger scope of the game we've been wanting to get at for quite some time.
You'll now find a new feature with docking gantries, you'll be able to construct your own ships! Why? well you can now send crew and resources to other stations, YOUR stations in fact, we've reformatted save files and opened up the map to allow you to build and maintain multiple stations at once!
We still have a lot more features that we'd like to introduce, and these large patch changes are just the beginning. We are working every day at fleshing out these features and expanding on them as much as we can.
How are we going to flesh out these features?
Well, firstly, we'll eventually open up the entire galaxy, as you're currently limited to your own solar system. Second, we're going to overhaul the ship management system, as it's our hope that you'll end up with dozens of stations and a large network of ships, customised of course to your liking, and managed more effortlessly through an intuitive UI.
Third, we have a complete UI overhaul coming in the next few weeks, as well as some overdue changes to how traders will work, introducing factions and persistent entities into your little meeple world.
All this and more! we hope you can enjoy what we've been cooking up over the past few weeks and stick around as we expand on it even further!
