Hello Cosmonauts!
I bring a new update, in the form of version 0.1.3.
New Content
- Diamond Rain: Added a "Diamond Rain" curiosity to Neptune.
- Alien Translation: There's now a short new section before meeting the purple alien, showing the player that there is now translation being done by the onboard computer.
Improvements & Quality of Life
- Radar: Ships are now displayed with different colors on the radar for better identification.
- Dialogue: Updated dialogue scenes to now show character names. The text and name panels have also been improved.
- UI: The general text display in the GUI has been slightly improved.
- Gameplay: The in-game passing of days has been slowed down by 4 times. Rescanning is now doable 2 days after each scan.
- Tutorial: The initial battle description has been adjusted to make the real-time battle system more clear.
- Dialogue Icon: The voice enable/mute button has a better icon.
- Visual: The sun/stars now have a far more fluid way of rendering, with increased FPS.
- Intro: Added some clarity related to the steps needed to create your own profile.
Performance
- VRAM Usage: Improved a few aspects of the game, resulting in a 10-15% VRAM usage reduction.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where Laika would not be set as a quest target after intercepting the unknown object.
- Fixed a visual bug where a Pactarian character had the wrong background.
- Fixed several typos related to Director Savarin.
I've heard a lot of mentions of the load/save system not working as intended. Know that I'm currently diving into this and will report back once there have been improvements there. Stay tuned!
