Update! Possibly fixed Linux + small bug fixes

Hey all!

- Fixed: Chance calculation bug. 100% wave chances and deflect chance used to not guarantee that these mechanics would pass the checks every time.
- Fixed: Font related memory leak.
- Fixed: Strange part generation bug/crash. Possibly. Watch out for weird part behavior.

Linux:

A new build has been uploaded, it runs on my virtual machine, so hopefully, it will run for everyone else.
If it doesn't work properly, please report that to me.

Have fun!

Soundtrack updated

Hey all,

A small update: Sector Six's original soundtrack (OST) that was previously a "DLC" has been ported to Steam's new soundtrack system - now it's separate from the game in your libraries.

I've also added two new tracks that weren't in the game when the OST was first uploaded back in 2016.

Enjoy =]

Linux status and set rework

Hey all,

Just a quick update on what's going on.

Linux is still broken, but I am working on it almost every day.
You can see that in detail here.

After I have fixed the Linux, I'll be spending Saturdays making set rework.

I have done some brainstorming about set rework in this discussion.
I've also got a suggestion to make a set that promotes the gameplay that resembles the old class system.

I'll share more concrete details once the set rework is in progress.

So, that's the news.

I hope the new year has been good already, until next time!

Version 1.5.5 and Linux status

Hey all,

I've just released a new version of the game:

Shadow of the Past no longer shows flags.
Text added and changed with relic rework update has been translated to BR, BE, FR, and DE.

Linux status:

It's still not possible to launch the game.

The problem is very annoying because it doesn't show any error message, so I have no idea what's wrong.

I've made a thread in Steam developer's discussions and now I'm waiting for a reply.

Hang in there.

Update! Relic rework and endgame changes + Belarusian translation added

Better endgame, better relics, Belarusian translation, and more!

Endgame changes:

Decayed fragments required to create deterioration relics: Reduced from 1000 to 100. There's no reason to keep more casual players from getting Arcane Arsenal achievement. Including myself =]

Level 30+ alloy container vendor stock: Increased from 3 alloy containers to 22. Made getting those transient containers less of a hassle.

At max spaceship level: Altered Instance and Absolute Deterioration multipliers now also affect the experience. That means millions of Ascension XP!

Altered part drop chance in altered instances: Increased by 20%.

Relic rework:

Dismantling relics now always gives reliquary diode.
Relic property amount: Increased from 7 to 9, one above fully upgraded etalons.
Relics can now have scaling properties. E.g.: +x maximum armor, +x ether on kill.
Graphically improved Upgrade Sockets, Amplifier Well.
Tempoquake, Cryostasis now reduces weapon damage by 50%, instead of 90%.

These relics now increase relic limit by 1 and no longer compete with stronger relics for relic slots:
  • Legionvault, Fractal Arsenal
  • Scepter and Needles
  • Suun's Loom, Atomic Library
  • Deathlink, Assault Adapter
  • Surge Accelerator, Exothermic Focus
  • Eternity of Destruction, Arsenal Extender
  • NA-1, Naonic Archive
  • Strengthsource, Tridenkorian Flagship Systems
  • Zero Spire, Coolant Injector
  • Mark of Defender, Hero's Exempt
  • Radiance and Blight, Aberrant Alliance
  • Flame Tower, Redirection Hub

Now it's possible to disable animations of these relics by rotating them:
  • Asymadrenlysk, Craeno's Final Creation
  • NA-1, Naonic Archive
  • Eternity of Destruction, Arsenal Extender
  • Everlasting Light, Ether Networks
  • Legionvault, Fractal Arsenal
  • Trism of Glory
  • Duality of Transience, Etherion's Catalyst
  • Upgrade Sockets, Amplifier Well
  • Strengthsource, Tridenkorian Flagship Systems
  • Surge Accelerator, Exothermic Focus
  • Crippled Vault, Broken Reality
Cor's Voidshape set effect changes:

Renamed to Cor's Voidmass.
Effect changed to: If your spaceship has no compressed parts installed: Triples core attributes.

Belarusian translation:

Added Belarusian translation by LEX.by - keep in mind that it's not perfect.

WARNING:
I haven't tested any these changes much + I have ported the game to a new version of the engine, so if something breaks, please tell me.

Have fun!
