With PAX behind us and the demo for This Means Warp a few weeks away, we thought we'd share some of the things we've been working on based on feedback from the beta!


[h2]Missions[/h2]

• The game's procedural generation is now seed-based, meaning you can enter a specific seed and recreate a run, or replay your friends' runs with the same maps, missions, items and encounters.
  
• New 'Trubbles' minigame - a frantic race to incinerate troublesome critters before they overrun the ship.
  
• New 'Doubloons' minigame - don your space suits and dodge speeding debris to collect as many pirate doubloons as you can!
  

[h2]Story[/h2]

• New intro cutscene.
  
• New messages from the Norg to decipher as you progress through the story.
  
• Updated tooltips.
  

[h2]Items[/h2]

• New 'Repair Pulse' system to repair lots of items around the ship at once and stay on top of AOE damage.
  

[h2]Other[/h2]

• Completely rewritten crew AI.
  
• Mouse controls for aiming.
  
• Localization support for multiple languages.
  
• Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements.
