0.6 live for public!
🕑 Added 2020-06-25 09:01:00 +0000 UTCHey all,
You can now download the 0.6 build!
There has been a massive architectural change, so while I tried to make it so old saves are still usable, there might be some edge cases where they aren't, so please bear that in mind.
The architectural overhaul should have helped out with performance issues, but it if you are still getting them please let me know (report any loading of greater than 3 seconds as a bug.) This rewrite has affected every single system currently in game, so please be on the look out for any potential bugs.
Luckily there won't be a need to do a rewrite of this level again any time soon (hopefully never again!) And the code now is much nicer and easier to expand on to. I'm going to be a minor re-write to the way the checklists work for 0.7 because I'm not happy with that (but it won't have an impact on any of the code.)
Anyway, as for the rest of the changes:
- Shuma's Level 1 Progression has been added!
- There is now a galaxy map, press M while in space travel to bring it up. It's a bit basic and rough at the moment, but I'm hoping to spice it up a bit visually in the future!
- This allows fast travel to other systems
- Multiple objectives now appear simultaneously. Each objective has a colour based on the character it involves (or other type) and you can stop tracking them as well. They also appear on the galaxy map so you can see where you need to fast travel to
- Shuma now gives 5,000 credits when you save her (making it easier to hop over to do Lillith's poker quest in the next system along)
- More save slots are available now and screenshots are taken when you make a save. Again it looks a little basic at the moment and will be made to look nicer in the future.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it! It was quite enjoyable making Shuma's story line. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make her feel unique, but I think I did ok in the end! Let me know what you guys think!
I hope you guys are excited for the 0.7 build which will see Shelly added in tomorrow!
Until next time,
- Nergal
