Update "2025" is out! Wanna add a bit of cyberpunk?
Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best!
Initially, the update was going to be called something like "About Travel", but it turned into such a mix that we couldn't come up with a proper name! So it's simply - 2025!
What's new? Just check out the video teaser :)
p.s.: There are captions at the bottom corner.
p.p.s.: Briefly, here are the main changes:
- A bunch of ships have been added/reworked.
- WARP engines and fuel have been added, along with their projects (they will soon be available for sale in the business center).
- The galactic map has been revamped, with various interactives added.
- You can now sell your ship on the secondary market; a more convenient menu for transfers has also been added.
- Ship capturing mechanics have been introduced, but I won't say what to do to capture one.
- A news feed and radio broadcast have been added: a neural network generates text about events happening with players (with you!), the game generates a screenshot of the event, and speech synthesis generates voice-over for radio hosts, who broadcast under cool music by Antonio! (By the way, the teaser features his music, and the entire New Year's podium is thanks to him!)
- Significant graphics optimization – video cards should now overheat less.
- Various SFX and VFX have been redone from scratch, including explosions, lots of voice-overs, etc.! If you've been following the news, there's no need to explain.
- Updated UI.
- Added a movie camera mode that can be activated quickly with Shift + F11.
- Naturally, New Year's decorations and various fun items have been added.
- If you find anything else new, let us know!
Hurray!
And another bunch of bugs to fix in January :)
