Early Access Patch 0.2.28

ESA SHIELD Mission Update

Hello Space Safety Commander!

We have a new update for you. New content, new improvements, new bug fixes (unfortunately, we also introduced some new bugs...). As we are a small team with very tight deadlines, we cannot always approach development in the best possible way. So be aware that new unexpected behavior or bugs might still occur.

That's why your feedback is all the more important. We take everything into account and have implemented some of the issues raised, as well as others. Here is an overview:

New Features 🚀

• Game Over through Space Debris. (Don't keep your old spacecrafts too long in orbit)

• Open End. You can choose to keep playing after finishing the outro.

• Achievements.

• 2 New Payloads. Earth Observation and Research Experiment

• Port to Mobile Version. Available on Android App Store.

• New Missions

Improvements 🔧

• Made game accessible for ulrawide monitors (not perfect but working)

• Updated various UI Elements (Display order, added elements like WASD to orbit control info, Full Screen Research Tree, new mission badges)

• Optimized Text for Textbox size.
