Demo Update 2
This update is a bit small, but I wanted to get it out as fast as possible and think that it is worth highlighting the added features in a blog.
As mentioned in the previous update, I am focussed on making the game more intuitive for new players. The game does not have a tutorial because I believe that figuring it out by trial and error can actually be fun. However, some people do get stuck currently.
One of the issues is that exploration can be really punishing. You run out of fuel and potentially crash because the game fails to provide any kind of direction. This update aims to bring an end to this issue by introducing quest markers.
You can now click on an airport, and the quest will be selected and marked on the map. The quest markers automatically update as you progress.
The update also introduces the much requested feature of keybind options. You can change your keybindings in the settings menu.
I also worked on controller support. This is far from finished, but should already work a bit better than before. Please let me know if you have any feedback on the controller support.
