🔧 Nion Forge – Patch 0.5.16

Hello Pilots,

this will most likely be one of the final demo patches :).

Our focus is now entirely on completing the game.


🚀 New Features

Hangar:

  • The module selection now rotates along with the view

  • Reworked the ship checklist panel, which now also displays the selected modules

  • Ship’s pivot point is now displayed when a Direction Engine is selected


⚖️ Balancing

  • Boss 03 – slightly increased health and fire rate

  • Far Line and Scattershot – reduced the number per module from 2 to 1


🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Out-of-Bounds damage can no longer be blocked

  • Fixed a text error in the Headcannon Upgrade Tree

  • Reworked the camera and ship physics. Camera stuttering at low FPS should now be fixed.

  • Fixed a Game Over/Retry bug that could cause the loading screen to load incorrectly

  • Fixed the Mining Ship thruster in the tutorial


🎨 Visual & Audio

  • Added a skull graphic when a boss moves upward


🧩 Misc

  • The Forge Core UI can now only be opened once the player receives their first Core

  • Added tutorial text to the Forge Core UI

  • (The in-game settings now include a disabled section for Twitch integration)
