Demo v0.6.5 - Next Fest Feedback
[p]Hello!
Next Fest has been pretty intense so far. A lot of feedback and chatting with players about the game. Here's a collection of tweaks, bug fixes, and even a couple of minor features I managed to get in for version 0.6.5 of the demo.[/p][p]Next Fest is still in full swing, so if you haven't played the demo yet, please do and let me know what you think![/p][p]Laser Sight
Special mention for the laser sight, which I'm really happy with (it reflects and lights up particles!).[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Features
- Laser sight upgrade
- Volume settings are now split between SFX, UI, and Music, and can be set from 0 to 100 (previously 0 to 10). This should help streamers who have more sensitive setups.[/p][p]Balance
- Hammer easier to control
- Some items are cheaper now
- Crystals sell for more
- Don't show cycle tool reminder on charge training day
- Charge training hints at key for dropping charges from cargo
- Added status notification for an empty tool slot
- Lowered damage necessary to force a container open
- Increased time limits across all days
- Scanner tutorial step now requires you to get closer to the scanned resource
- Some wording changes in mail messages[/p][p]Fixes
- Default key bindings are set properly, instead of the debug ones
- DPI Awareness is now working again (proper resolution scaling when you have Windows scaling set)
- Activator tool sprite now drawn on the correct layer
- Possible fix for losing BASS audio after PC wakes up from sleep, plus additional logging around this in case the issue persists
- Stopped null tool drawing pink sprite
- Fix for culture variant text comparisons. This was causing crashes due to Font validation on PCs with certain locale settings
- Log file uses 24h time instead of incorrectly using 12h
- Hammer retract animation now plays properly
- Mail reply scroll bar no longer shows on other mail pages when there are no replies
- Additional logging around entity wrapping and asteroid destruction to help with an investigation into a wrapping bug
- Extraction ship typo when extracting ("EXTRACING" -> "EXTRACTING")[/p]
