Testing Updated to 3.7
This update is ready for testing. Of course I have done my own testing on the new features, and so far so good.
I am a bit torn over whether I should explain what was added to the game, or whether I should just allow players to happen across the new feature. This second option seems much more in-line with the procedural nature of the gameplay. But then, you might not even know it's a new feature.
Okay, I will settle on this - In the above screenshot, there is a small PDA item selected. That is the new item I added to the game. I will not tell you what it does or why it's there ... that's for you guys to figure out!
Also, notice the mapping tool shown above. There are two numbers that show the player's position on a planet surface. This is an important part of the new feature. I will say that I like this update and really look forward to testing it out more. I also look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
If you want to find the new little PDA thingy, you will, unfortunately, have to start a new game.
