Version 0.11.3.19

Still focusing heavily on polish and other small touches, trying to get at least 1 system completed before I go insane. Control systems needed a full rework as Steam deprecated or changed something on their side, meaning it's no longer possible to detect unplugged controllers.

0.11.3.19

Changes

• Added horrific breathing to Overview and Death

  • Heartbeats too, it's gross

• Remove overview display and replace it with a button

• Adjusted autosave thumbnail to no longer crop sides incorrectly.

• Rework steam input so that it automatically switches depending on the last input from a controller

• Made planetary resources functionally unlimited for demo.

• Reduced default starting volume to not jump scare the player

• Implemented a system for skipping dialogue, which can hold and wait for you to complete things

  • Added a skip dialogue button to the speech bubble

• Added some feedback to the data menu on cancel and delete

• Added some feedback to the planet menu when clicking on planets

• The game now pauses when the Steam Overlay is opened

Settings and UI

• Redesigned settings menu and main menu to improve text size and user interactions

• Added functionality to save on exit game and save on return to main menu

• Added in turn and rotate inversion

• Added Scroll Inversion to game settings

• Added Export to the colour menu

• Created a system to make sure the menu music stays in sync with the load animation

• Replaced controller bindings with steam input menu

• Made the main HUD resize to fit the vertical space of the SteamDeck as the resolution is not 16:9

  • This does not work well and needs further refinement

• Deprecated the control binding menu for gamepad and replaced it with Steam Input

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug where save thumbnail could be generated while rotating

• Fixed SteamOS crash when using extended trigger vibration.

• Fixed bug where cancelling the menu intro on controller would bring up the exit menu

• Fixed bug where the HUD place wire button was not working

• Fixed bug where the look right button text was not properly centered

• Fixed bug where exiting the settings menu from the pause menu would cause some line overlap

• Fixed bug where a deprecated control handle reference would cause chorded action resets to not include the modifier key

• Fixed bug where scrolling with wires would cause spring arm post physics calculation jitter during the overview switch

• Fixed bug where cancelling the delete on Save Slot 3 would load it instead

• Fixed missing Windows Taskbar icon
