Version 1.42.0: Patch Notes

Hello starchasers! Today's April Fools so normally I'd be announcing something silly like selling ships for real money or adding battleships. But I don't make jokes, ever. So to that end, I'm releasing patch 1.42.0 for Underspace. This has a few new features but mostly it's implementing a bunch of background technology in preparation for our next milestone update, which has stuff like being able to decorate these houses.


Will you be able to put a picture of my cat in this house? Yeah probably.


It'll also have additional detailing and stuff for stations (as it was originally part of last milestone's feature list), however some stations are getting detailed now, like UHC-1.


Onto the changelog!



[h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2]

• Added more loading screen tips.
  
• Added a 1% for your save icon to have something special happen to it.
  
• Added a new alternate rendering system for on-foot sections. This can sometimes improve framerates on certain computers, and I have literally no idea why. Game development! Using it requires you to reload a save or restart the game once enabled/disabled.
  
• Added more detailing to UHC-1, including the statue of Bellimar. Why does he get a statue? Well, you know.
  
• Bellimar will now show up on UHC-1 after completing his quest.
  

[h2]CHANGES AND REBALANCES[/h2]

• Buffed the Manyship’s health to make it more appropriate for a boss of that stage.
  
• Shrunk the quest objective menu and changed the graphics slightly.
  
• Shrunk the tutorial prompts slightly.
  
• Changed camera angles for the Rival’s Fighter.
