Patch Notes

Visuals

  • We've added some fancy new animations to the interstitial screens, so you can see where you are on your journey. Think of it like the seat-back map on a long haul flight. Except this flight lasts for months, and people are shooting at you.

Accessibility

  • This week we had a suggestion that adjustable font size on the comms console would be useful, so we implemented it!

  • You can now skip almost all interstitial screens.

Mechanics

  • You can now use the funky new button on your desk. What does it do? Nothing. Yet. But it makes a good clicky noise. Go nuts.

Bug Fixes

  • Records lookups should no longer freeze up during the tutorial. Thanks to those who did a bug report about this!

  • You can no longer disable the records tab in the tutorial by power cycling your main console.

  • The arming switch will no longer open early in the tutorial.

Known Issues

  • Sometimes trying to underline text in the notepad doesn't work for some users. If this happens to you, please drop a bug report. We've added some extra data in the reports to help track it down.

  • Occasionally text in the comms logger may overlap strangely. Again, please let us know if this happens.

  • Our 16:10 aspect ratio support involves cropping rather than black bars. It's on our list - we're sorry for any 16:10 users who can't see Rox-E's full dance.

What's Next

  • We have a system we're really excited to introduce you to. It just needs a bit of tutorialisation, and then it'll be ready to go in the demo.

PS: Don't forget to join our official Discord server if you have suggestions!
