Times and Galaxy News

Hey fellow spacehacks!

I've just pushed an update!

In DEMO VERSION 0.8.2876 we have fixed a few bugs that I'm sure will help smooth out players' early experience a bit.

Continuing After Finishing Demo: If you complete the demo, you are no longer able to select Continue. You'll need to start a new game. This is to prevent a bug that was taking players back to a save before the demo end slide, breaking all sorts of conditionals. In the main release, you'll have multiple save slots so you can create multiple characters and save scum to your heart's content.

UI Breaking When Swapping Between Controller/Keyboard: In the previous demo build, when you swapped between controller and keyboard in the middle of gameplay, UI would fail to recognize the switch and show keyboard controls always. This should no longer happen with version 0.8.2876.

Volume Sliders: Volume was "aggressive" in its sliders, going to basically zero volume when you got halfway. Users obviously expect the slider to go from 0 to 100, not -100 to 100, even if the game was still playing sounds that no human ears can detect (kidding). This is fixed too.

Additionally, you now have the option to use spacebar when confirming conversation options and submitting stories. People love spacebar. And our game is about space. It only made sense to put it to better use, especially for WASD + Mouse faithful.

👁️💗🛸,
Ben
