EA Roadmap & Darkness update

Almost 3 months have passed since BLASTRONAUT launched Early Access. We would like to thank everyone who has supported the game and left feedback.

Finally, we have finished the Early Access roadmap, which includes both much-requested quality-of-life improvements as well as new and exciting gameplay features. Here it is:

Update 1 - Darkness

The first major update is about to launch on the 27th of October (less than a week left). And it will change the feel of the game considerably.

First, it will introduce the Darkness or Fog of War that will make the exploration more exciting.

Secondly, it will add the most requested feature - a map. It only displays the explored area and shows buildings, aliens and other players in the world.

Finally, the underlying systems for storing and chunking the game world have been completely reworked. This will improve the performance of the game and the game should not start lagging after long play sessions anymore. However, the save system was also completely reworked which means that old save files will not work after the update. We hope that this is less likely to happen again with future updates.
