v2.007 Released! "Speed Boost"

We've had a series of hotfixes since 2.001 launched, and now we've got a more meaty release.
  • This one includes a variety of bugfixes and balance tweaks for both the expansion and the base game.
  • The way that engineers do repairs or assist other ships is now in a more intelligent hierarchy, which avoids some edge cases.
  • Several UI additions make certain things more clear, such as why remains can't be rebuilt at this time, how long until ships can be repaired, etc.
  • And then the large item is that, thanks largely to one savegame that was strangely stuttery, we found a way to majorly improve the performance of the game for everyone. Some general micro-stutters that have always been present are no longer there, and in general we've simply had a plethora of unexpected benefits from a small area of the code (entity removal) that normally we wouldn't have suspected.

[h3]Please Do Report Any Issues![/h3]

If you run into any bugs, we'd definitely like to hear about those.

The release of this game has been going well so far, and I think that the reviews that folks have been leaving for the game have been a big help for anyone passing by who's on the fence. For a good while we were sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive on the Recent Reviews breakdown, but there have been a lot fewer reviews lately and so that has definitely had a material negative effect. Go figure. Having a running selection of recent reviews definitely is helpful, but at least we have a pretty healthy set of long-term reviews. If you've been playing the game and enjoying it, we'd greatly appreciate it if you'd drop by and leave your own thoughts, too.

More to come soon. Enjoy!
[h3]Problem With The Latest Build?[/h3]

If you right-click the game in Steam and choose properties, then go to the Betas tab of the window that pops up, you'll see a variety of options. You can always choose most_recent_stable from that build to get what is essentially one-build-back. Or two builds back if the last build had a known problem, etc. Essentially it's a way to keep yourself off the very bleeding edge of updates, if you so desire.
[h3]The Usual Reminders[/h3]

Quick reminder of our new Steam Developer Page. If you follow us there, you'll be notified about any game releases we do.

Also: Would you mind leaving a Steam review for some/any of our games? It doesn't have to super detailed, but if you like a game we made and want more people to find it, that's how you make it happen. Reviews make a material difference, and like most indies, we could really use the support.

Enjoy!
