Time Warp Update Released

Time warp and pause have been added to the game. Both can have their controls configured in the settings screen. The Time Warp will increment and decrement by a factor of 1x. Time warp will start becoming ineffective at around 10x normal speed, but may vary between systems. Just to make sure you don't lose control over the vehicle, all controls except camera zoom are disabled while in time acceleration.

Other Additions
  • Proper Escape screen that pops up a menu allowing you to go to the main menu, start a new game, or resume the current game.
  • Highest and Lowest orbital points on the HUD (marked "AP" and "PE" respectively) to the right of the altimeter.


Changes
  • High Scores screen is synced with the Steam leaderboard and shows the top 10 scores as well as your score and rank.
  • Terrain finder bar replaced with roll indicator that changes between HUD modes.
  • Velocity vector adjusted to accommodate new roll indicator.
  • Saving/loading temporarily removed while I experiment with solutions.
  • Orbit trails shortened to 1,000 seconds.
  • Center landing leg on descent stage removed.
  • Command module texture adjusted.
  • Help screen removed, guides coming soon.


Bug Fixes
  • Orbit trails no longer "jump" to the vehicle's starting position.
